Session control vv 04 Variable, 09 through 10 hex. This is a set of values that have
to do with determination the behavior of a TAP session, after
connecting to a destination. Some control login behavior,
while others apply during the sending of pages after login.
Byte 1 = destination number. The ID number of the
destination to set the session control values for. This
must be between zero and fifteen decimal, which is
00 to 0F hex.
Byte 2 = Flow Control If zero, then Flow control is not active.
Otherwise it is the maximum number of seconds to
wait for an X-OFF (<DC3>) to be cleared with an X-
ON (<DC1>). If, after receiving an X-OFF, an X-
ON is not seen within this time then the Outdial TAP
card will resume data transmission, assuming that
the X-ON was missed. The default is no flow
control.
Byte 3 = ID Wait. Seconds to wait for target to auto-send the
“ID=” string, after modem connect. If the string after
this number of seconds has elapsed the TAP outdial
card will start sending carriage returns. The default
value is zero.
Byte 4 = Login <CR> Wait. Seconds to wait between carriage
transmissions for the “ID=” to be sent by the called
terminal. The default value is two seconds.
Byte 5 = Maximum Login <CR> sends. How many <CR>
attempts to do while waiting for the called terminal
to send the “ID=” string. If not seen after this
number of carriage returns have been transmitted
then the call will fail. The default is six <CR>
transmissions.
Byte 6 = Maximum pages sent per session. How many page
attempts to do during any single call or log-in / log-
out session. Some systems can only handle a limited
number of TAP transactions during a session. This
parameter can be used to satisfy such requirements.
It could also be used to restrict the length of a
session on a particular destination. The default value
is 255 pages per session.
Byte 7 = TAP mode 0 = Reserved, do not use
1 = PG1 (default)
