Status 

Transmits frames. Normally you want all links in enabled status 
Does not transmit frames. The link may be permanently 
disabled, for example, when testing. A disabled line freezes all 

link operation, including connection attempts and forwarding. 
If a link is defined as backup to another, then whenever the 
main link operates normally, the backup link is disabled. If the 

main link fails, the backup link begins to operate and become 
enabled. You must that the routing settings are correct so that 
traffic will be forwarded to the desired destination via the 

backup link. When you restore the main link connection, the 

backup link becomes disabled again. 

Type 

Data bits are transmitted at a fixed rate, because the sender and 
the receiver are synchronized 
Units of data are sent one character at a time. Characters are 

preceded by start bits and followed by stop bits, which provide 
synchronization at the receive terminal. 
A packet-switching protocol for connecting devices on a WAN 

Connection Type  Originate only 

If the link is to be used to connect to the Internet or Intranet 
If the link is to be used for receiving remote access connection 
If the link is to be used for both incoming and out going 
connections (not simultaneously) 

 
Note: This parameter only affects dial-up link types 

(asynchronous with modem or ISDN). For leased-line links,select 
Answer-only. 

Connection 

Timeout (sec) 

Specifies the connection timeout. The remote side has to answer 

within the time allotted with the Connection Timeout. If within 

this time there is no response, you are informed that the remote 
side is no longer active. 
This is meaningful only if the link is configured for PPP protocol. 
Note: Connection timeout is only configured when the PPP 

protcol is used.  

Control Signals 

Mode 

  

Determines whether the control signals are ignored or 

acknowledged by link hardware 

Baud Rate 
 

Specifies the rate at which data is sent across the link 
Note: For Synchronous and Asynchronous DCE links only.
