The following list summarizes the parameters that are provided in the x25init configuration files. There are parameters that are used by the X.25/9000 product that are not shown here. These parameters are ignored by the ACC Mux drivers when x25init is executed; they have no effect whether defined or not. A detailed explanation of each parameter can be found in the Installing and Administering X.25/9000 manual. The default and valid range of values are as documented in the HP X.25/9000 manuals unless stated otherwise.

lci

Provides the circuit table definition for the subsystem, which includes the starting value of the logical channel identifier (lci), the type of virtual circuits, and the number of the specified type of virtual circuits.

Parameter values are as documented in the X.25/9000 manuals. There is no default.

def_inpacketsize

Specifies the default maximum size, in octets, of a level 3 inbound packet. Valid values are 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 octets. Default value is 128.

def_inthruput

Specifies the level 3 parameter for the rate of data transmission, in bits per second, that is allowed inbound on a switched virtual circuit.

Valid values are 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 48000, 64000, 128,000, 192,000 or the corresponding CCITT class numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, 13, 14 or 15 respectively. Default value is 19200 (class 11).

device

Specifies the name of device file that corresponds to the Mux port being configured. (Refer to Chapter 4 “ZCOM Mux Subsystem Configuration”) The default value is /dev/x25_0, which is an X.25/9000 format device file, and therefore should not be used. For all but the 4-Channel ACC interface, use the device file /dev/zx25m Xp Y, where the X refers to the ACC Mux, and the Y refers to the mux port. For T1/E1 4-Channel use device file /dev/zx25mX pY s Z, where the Z refers to the subchannel number.

fastselectaccept

Level 3 parameter that specifies if the use of the fast select facility is allowed. Default is disabled.

name

Specifies the programmatic access name used for level 3. Default is x25pgmaccess, however a unique name for each X.25 link in the system must be assigned.

pvc_inpacketsize

Specifies the default maximum size, in octets, of a level 3 inbound packet on a permanent virtual circuit. Valid values are 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 octets. Default value is 128.

Retransmission count specifies the maximum number of times a given frame may be transmitted before an error condition is identified. The valid range is limited to 1-31. Default is 20.

reverse_charge_accept

Specifies whether or not reverse charging is accepted. Default is disabled.

t1

The t1 parameter specifies the amount of time to wait for acknowledgment of a HDLC frame. The ACC Mux subsystem uses different units to set this value than the other X.25/9000 interface cards. The closest approximation to the value specified will be used. The algorithm used by the ACC Mux subsystem for setting t1 is listed below. Default value is 3000 ms.

20 ms. £ t1 £ 1260 ms.
Nearest 20 ms. increment is used.

200 ms. £ t1 £ 12600 ms.
Nearest 200 ms. increment is used.

t2

The T2 timer parameter specifies the amount of time available at the DTE or DCE/remote DTE before acknowledging frame must be initiated in order to ensure its receipt by the DCE/remote DTE or DTE, respectively, prior to Timer T1 running out at the DCE/remote DTE or DTE. Note that timer T2 must be less than T1. The value used is T1/2.

t3

The t3 (DCE) / t4 (DTE) parameter is a level 2 parameter to specify the line idle time. It is used to identify an excessive period of no-activity on the data link, suggesting a possible faulty data link or physical link condition. The value of T3/T4 should be greater than T1 and may be very large for applications which are not concerned with early detection of faulty data link or physical link conditions.

thruputclass

Specifies if throughput class negotiation is allowed between peers. Default is off.

X.121

Specifies the X.121 address for the subsystem. No default value.

X.121_packet

Specifies the X.121 packet address of some networks having special characteristics, such as TransPac. Default value is the X.121 address.

NOTE: Each X.25 link must have a unique X.121 address for connection to a data network.
