Frame Settings
Description
Frame settings are configured using two menu items:
z
Frame level disconnect
—Specifies the level at which a disconnect frame is sent. 
The following options are available:
z
Active
—Acknowledges that a link is disconnected when a disconnect frame 
(DISC) is sent and an unnumbered acknowledgment (UA) is received. Some 
systems do not acknowledge the DISC frame with a UA but send a set 
asynchronous balanced mode frame (SABM) instead. To bring this link up, the 
system must be configured for a passive disconnect. If a remote system fails 
to respond to a receive ready (RR) frame enough times to exceed the 
maximum number of accepted retransmissions for unacknowledged frames 
(described in section 
), then AI296 sends 
DISC frames continuously.
z
Passive
—Specifies that the DISC frame is not sent. AI296 responds to an 
SABM with a UA. If a remote system fails to respond to an RR frame enough 
times to exceed the maximum number of accepted retransmissions for 
unacknowledged frames, then AI296 sends SABM frames continuously.
z
Other
—Specifies that an immediate disconnect frame (DISC) is sent if an RR 
has been sent enough times to exceed the maximum number of accepted 
retransmissions for unacknowledged frames and no reply has been received.
