SLC Communication Channels 13-27
Inactivity
Timeout
(3)
30 minutes The amount of time (in minutes) that a MSG connection may remain inactive before it is
terminated. The Inactivity Timeout has a 1 minute resolution and a range from 1 to 65,500
minutes.
BOOTP Enable enabled The BOOTP enable switch. When BOOTP is enabled, the SLC 5/05 attempts to learn its
network related parameters at powerup via a BOOTP request. There must be a BOOTP
server on the network capable of responding to this BOOTP request. When BOOTP is
disabled, the SLC 5/05 uses the locally configured network related parameters (IP Address,
Subnet Mask, etc.).
DHCP Enable
(4)
disabled The DHCP enable switch. When DHCP is enabled, the SLC 5/05 attempts to learn its
network related parameters at powerup via a DHCP request. There must be a DHCP server
on the network capable of responding to this DHCP request. When DHCP is disabled, the
SLC 5/05 uses the locally configured network related parameters (IP Address, Subnet
Mask, etc.).
SNMP Server
Enable
(5)
enabled The SNMP enable switch. When SNMP is enabled, the SLC 5/05 responds to requests
from a Simple Network Management Protocol Client.
HTTP Server
Enable
(6)
enabled The HTTP enable switch. When HTTP is enabled, the SLC 5/05 web server responds to web
browser requests.
Auto Negotiate
and Port
Setting
(6)
Auto
Negotiate
disabled
and Port
Setting 10
Mbps/Half-
duplex
When Auto Negotiate is disabled (unchecked), the Ethernet speed/duplex is forced to
either 10 Mbps/Half-duplex, 10 Mbps/Full-duplex, 100 Mbps/Half-duplex, or 100
Mbps/Full-duplex, as selected in the Port Setting field.
When Auto Negotiate is enabled (checked), the Port Setting Field allows you to select the
range of speed/duplex settings that the SLC 5/05 will negotiate.
Refer to table 13.9 for the setting choices and order of negotiation for each setting.
(1)
Parameter is only functional in OS501, Series C, FRN 5 and higher.
(2)
Parameter is only functional in OS501, Series C, FRN 6 and higher.
(3)
Only applies to non-Multi-hop MSGs. Multi-hop MSG Inactivity Timeout is fixed at 4.5 minutes.
(4)
Parameter is only functional in OS501, Series C, FRN 10 and higher, Series A-C hardware.
(5)
Parameter is only functional in OS501, Series C, FRN 9 and higher, Series A-C hardware.
(6)
Parameter is only functional in OS501, Series C, FRN 9 and higher, Series C hardware.
Table 13.8 Define these communication parameters when configuring an SLC 5/05 processor for Ethernet communications.
