1.1  –  alternate_speed

    Default: 0

    Alternate (low) speed (in bits per second) to operate the
    line. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity
    is disabled. This characteristic is supported only when the
    characteristic communications mode is asynchronous, the
    characteristic modem control is full, the characteristic modem
    options includes rateselect, the characteristic clock is internal,
    and when the alternate line speed is needed.

1.2  –  call_accept_timer

    Default: 500

    Minimum time, in milliseconds, between the assertion of data set
    ready and accepting a call by asserting request to send. This
    characteristic is not supported if the characteristic modem
    control is none.

1.3  –  carrier_loss_timer

    Default: 15000

    Maximum time, in milliseconds, that the carrier detect signal
    can be absent before the loss of carrier event is generated.
    This characteristic is not supported if the characteristic modem
    control is none.

1.4  –  clock

    Source of the transmit and receive clocks.

    external    The modem provides the clock.

    internal    The communications device provides the clock.

    reflected   The DTE transmit clock is a reflection of the
                DCE transmit clock. This minimizes the clock to
                data skew that the DCE encounters when high line
                speeds are used.

    The default value depends on the setting of the characteristic
    communications mode. If communications mode is asynchronous, the
    default value of this characteristic is internal. Otherwise, the
    default value is external.

    The value of this attribute has no effect when the communications
    line is in loopback mode. In this case, the type of loopback
    determines the type of clock. You can modify this characteristic
    only when the entity is disabled.

1.5  –  encoding

    Default: normal            Value: normal or nrzi

    Encoding technique used on the line. You can modify this
    characteristic only when the entity is disabled.

1.6  –  initial_hold_timer

    Default: 10                Value: 0-300

    Maximum time, in seconds, within which the control service client
    must accept an incoming call. This characteristic is supported
    only when the characteristic connection type is switched.

1.7  –  maximum_call_setup_timer

    Default: 60                Value: 1-300

    Maximum time, in seconds, that can pass before an outgoing call
    is connected. This characteristic is supported only when the
    characteristic connection type is switched.

1.8  –  maximum_disable_transmit_timer

    Default: 500

    Maximum time, in milliseconds, that clear to send can remain
    asserted before the line is disconnected after Request to Send
    is deasserted. This characteristic is not supported if the
    characteristic modem control is none.

1.9  –  maximum_dsr_deassertion_timer

    Default: 5000

    Maximum time, in milliseconds, the entity will wait for data set
    ready to be deasserted after it has deasserted data terminal
    ready. If this timer expires, the entity assumes it can assert
    data terminal ready once again. This characteristic is not
    supported if the characteristic modem control is none.

1.10  –  maximum_enable_transmit_timer

    Default: 2000              Value: 1-5000

    Maximum time, in milliseconds, between the assertion of the
    request to send signal and receiving the assertion of the clear
    to send signal. This characteristic is not supported if the
    characteristic modem control is none.

1.11  –  minimum_dtr_deassertion_timer

    Default: 1000

    Minimum timer, in milliseconds, that the DTE will deassert data
    terminal ready during a disconnection. This characteristic is not
    supported if the characteristic modem control is none.

1.12  –  modem_control

    Default: full              Value: full or none

    Indicates whether the interchange circuits are to be monitored and
    used. The value none means that only the data leads are monitored.

    The value full must be used when the value of the characteristic
    duplex is half. You can modify this this characteristic only when
    the entity is disabled. This characteristic is supported only if
    the characteristic connection type is non-switched.

1.13  –  modem_options

    Default: No options        Value: Set of options

    Set of values that determine the capabilities of the modem. The
    value dialout is supported only if the value of communications
    type is switched. You can modify this characteristic only
    when the entity is disabled.

    dialout          The modem can dial the remote modem.

    direct           The modem is directly connected to the remote
                     modem through a non-switched line.

    rate select      The modem is capable of data rate selection.

    The value direct must be accompanied with dialout and used only
    when the modem protocol type supports direct dial.

    Format the values to specify one or any combination of modem
    options.

1.14  –  modem protocol format (Tru64 UNIX)

    Format to use for V.25bis protocol messages. You can modify
    this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. This
    characteristic is supported only when the characteristic
    connection type is non-switched. This characteristic applies only
    when the characteristic modem protocol type is v25bis or dmcl.

    asynchronous     Use the asynchronous format.

    hdlc             Use the HDLC format.

    synchronous      Use the synchronous format.

    The default value depends on the value of the characteristic
    communications mode. If communications mode is asynchronous, the
    default value of this characteristic is also asynchronous. If the
    value of communications mode is synchronous, the default value of
    this characteristic is hdlc.

1.15  –  modem protocol type (Tru64 UNIX)

    Default: V25bis            Value: See following description.

    Protocol that the modem uses to select modem options and to set
    line control parameters. You can modify this characteristic only
    when the entity is disabled. This characteristic is supported only
    when the characteristic connection type is non-switched.

            Hayes Smartmodem 2400.

    dmcl    The Digital Modem Control Language, based on
            V.25bis.

    v25     A set of automatic calling and answering
            procedures defined by CCITT. These procedures
            use the 200-series circuits defined in the
            CCITT recommendation V.24. The V.235 procedures
            are also known as parallel automatic calling
            procedures.

    v25bis  A set of automatic calling and answering
            procedures defined by CCITT. These procedures
            use the 100-series circuits defined in the CCITT
            recommendation V.24. The V.25bis procedures
            are also known as serial automatic calling
            procedures.

1.16  –  profile

    Name of the local profile to be used with the line. The value of
    this characteristic is a copy of the profile argument specified
    when the entity is created. You cannot modify this characteristic.

1.17  –  rate_select

    Default: High              Value: High or Low

    Which of the line rates is to be used if none is specified when
    a call is setup. high indicates that the value of the speed
    characteristic be used, and low indicates that the value of the
    alternate speed characteristic be used. This characteristic is
    supported only if the characteristic modem control is full, and if
    the characteristic modem options includes rateselect.

1.18  –  speed

    Default: 0

    High speed (in bits per second) to be used on the line. This value
    is always used on asynchronous links. It is used on synchronous
    links only in the following circumstances:

    o  When the value of the clock characteristic is internal

    o  When a null modem cable is detected

    o  When using a loopback mode that uses internal clocking

    You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is
    disabled.

1.19  –  successful_call_indication_timer

    Default: 30

    Maximum time, in seconds, that the entity will wait for indication
    of a successful call before disconnecting the line. This
    characteristic is supported only when the characteristic modem
    control is none.

1.20  –  suppress_test_indicator

    Default: False             Value: True or false

    Indicates whether the Test Mode signal is to be monitored. Use the
    value false if the DCE deals with the Test Mode signal.

    Setting this characteristic to true means that the interchange
    circuit status attribute test mode will also be displayed as
    Unknown.

1.21  –  transmit_holdoff_timer

    Default: 0

    Necessary delay, in milliseconds, between the transmitter
    being disabled and being enabled again. The value 0 means
    that the request to send signal can be asserted as soon as the
    client requests it. This characteristic is not supported if the
    characteristic modem control is none.
