PortCHar

Syntax

SETDefault !<port> -APPN PortCHar = [EffectCap=<string>] [ConnectCost=<0-255>] [ByteCost=<0-255>] [Security=<string>] [PropDelay=<string>] [Usd1=<0-255>] [Usd2=<0-255>] [Usd3=<0-255>]
SHow [!<port>] -APPN PortCHar

Default

No default

Description

The PortCHar parameter defines TG characteristics for a port. You can specify any value you want to change; any value not specified is not changed. Once the APPN port is activated, if you want to make any configuration changes using this parameter or the PortDef parameter, you must first deactivate the port using the PortCONTrol parameter.

Values

EffectCap

Specifies the highest bit transmission rate that the TG can obtain. Specify one of the following values: MINimum, MAXimum, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 56000, 64000, 2560000, T1, 4M, 10M, 16M, 25M, 100M, or 155M. You must enter this value using one of these strings; however, these strings map to specific hex values. For information on mapping the hex values to these strings, see Table 23 earlier in this chapter.

ConnectCost

Specifies the relative cost per unit time of using a TG. Valid values are from 0-255. The default is 0.

ByteCost

Specifies the relative cost per byte for using a TG. Valid values are from 0-255. The default is 0.

Security

Specifies the level of security available on the TG. Specify one of the following strings: NONsecure, PKTswtnet, UNDgndcbl, SECurcnd, GUArdcnd, ENCryptd, guardRAD, or MAX. The default is NONsecure. You must enter this value using one of these strings; however, these strings map to specific hex values. For information on mapping the hex values to these strings, see Table 24 earlier in this chapter.

PropDelay

Specifies the length of time in microseconds for a signal to propagate from one end of the TG to the other. Specify one of the following strings: MINimum, LAN, TELephone, PKTswitch, SATellite, or MAXimum. You must enter this value using one of these strings; however, these strings map to specific hex values. For information on mapping the hex values to these strings, see Table 25 earlier in this chapter.

Usd1

Specifies the value for user-defined parameter 1. The user-defined parameters represent TG characteristics defined by the network administrator. Valid values are from 0-255. The default is 128. These values also apply to user-defined parameters 2 and 3.

Usd2

Specifies the value for user-defined parameter 2.

Usd3

Specifies the value for user-defined parameter 3.
