Defining Operating Parameters
5-47
Automatic Disconnect
This parameter specifies the conditions that cause the DAP to automatically disconnect a
dial backup connection. You can select from the following options:
• No DTR - the DAP disconnects the call after the DTR signal from the dial
backup port's DTE goes Off.
• None - the DAP disconnects the call when multiport framing is lost for longer
than 90 seconds.
Note: A network disconnect signal overrides the Automatic Disconnect parameter
setting.
Retry Attempts
This parameter specifies the maximum number of times that the DAP will redial a call if
the previous attempt is unsuccessful. The Excalibur Multirate DAP allows you to store
six telephone numbers: one permanent, four alternate, and one temporary. The possible
settings for each phone number range from 0 (retries disabled) through 9. If this
parameter is set to 0 and an automatic dial attempt fails, a Return to Normal (RTN)
function must be performed from the front panel of the local unit before the unit will
automatically dial again. (See "RTN Function" in Chapter 7 for instructions.) From the
CMS system console, a Re-enable Auto Retries, under the Excalibur Dial Restoral
function, must be performed before the unit will automatically dial again.
Dedicated Line Test
This parameter specifies whether the DAP continuously monitors the dedicated line while
it is operating over the dial backup line. When the Network parameter is set to point-to-
point, the DAP monitors for end-to-end dedicated line connectivity. If there is end-to-
end connectivity for the specified time, the DAP disconnects the dial backup line and
returns data transmission to the dedicated line. When the Network parameter is set to
multipoint, the DAP monitors the same conditions that is uses for DDS Up in the Line
Statistics submenu for the selected time interval. The DAP does NOT monitor for the
presence of multiport framing. If the DDS network is up for the specified time, the DAP
disconnects the dial backup line and returns data transmission to the dedicated line.
Note: This parameter must be set to None when the service is set for LADC or LDM
and the clocking is set to External.
