    supported by the OSI transport attribute clns classes supported.
    If the value is CONS, the classes must be a subset of the
    classes supported by the OSI transport attribute cons classes
    supported. If the value of the network service attribute is ANY,
    the classes must be a subset of the combined classes in the clns
    classes supported and cons classes supported attributes.

         cons template simplename

    Example:

    set osi transport template osit$loop_cons -
         cons template "OSI Transport"

6  –  cr_timeout

    Default: 30            Value for Tru64 UNIX: 1-(2 raised to the

    Default: 30            Value for OpenVMS: 1-4294967295

    During connection establishment, the amount of time (in seconds)
    to wait for a response to a CR TPDU before assuming that
    the remote transport service provider will not respond. This
    attribute is valid for protocol classes 0 and 2 only.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -
         cr timeout integer

    Example:

    set osi transport template osit$loop_cons -

                                                  power of 31 -1)

    Default: 30            Value for OpenVMS: 1-4294967295

    The amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a response to an ER
    TPDU before disconnecting the network connection. This attribute
    is used for protocol classes 0 and 2 only.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -
         er timeout integer

    Specifies whether use of the expedited data option should be
    negotiated for the transport connections. This attribute is not
    valid for protocol class 0.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -
         expedited data boolean

    Example:

    set osi transport template osit$loop_clns -
         expedited data true

9  –  extended_format

    Default: None          Value: True or false

    Specifies whether the use of extended TPDU format should be
    negotiated for the transport connections. Normal format gives
    7-bit sequence numbers and 4-bit credit fields; extended format
    gives 31-bit sequence numbers and 16-bit credit fields. This
    attribute is supported only for class 2 and class 4 protocols.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -
         extended format boolean

    Example:

         extended format true

10  –  inbound (OpenVMS)

    Default: True          Value: True or false

    Indicates whether this template may be used as the template for
    an inbound transport connection. The algorithm of selection
    of the inbound template is different depending on the type of
    network service over which the transport connection is made.
    If an inbound template cannot be found for an inbound transport
    connection, then the template called DEFAULT will be selected as
    the default. For the CLNS network service, the inbound template
    selected is the first template found that has the Inbound
    attribute set to true, the Network Service attribute set to
    CLNS, and the CLNS Inactive Area Address attribute set to empty
    set.

    For the CLNS network service (using the inactive subset, that
    is, null internet), the incoming template selected is the first
    template found that has the Inbound attribute set to True, the
    Network Service attribute set to CLNS and the CLNS Inactive Area
    Address attribute matches the Inactive Area Address attribute
    of the Routing Circuit entity that the transport connection
    is using. For the CONS network service, the inbound template
    selected is the first template found that has the inbound
    attribute set to true, the network service attribute set to CONS
    and the CONS template attribute (that is, an X.25 Access template
    name) matches the name of the X.25 Access filter that was used to
    accept the inbound network connection.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -
         inbound boolean

    Example:

    set osi transport template osit$rfc1006 -
         inbound true

12  –  keepalive_time

    Default: 60            Value: 1-16383

    Time (in seconds) to be used for the window timer. When the
    transport service provider has no TPDUs to send over a transport
    connection, it retransmits the last AK TPDU at the specified
    frequency to prevent expiration of the remote NSAP's inactivity
    timer. This attribute is valid for protocol class 4 only.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -
         keepalive time integer

    Example:

    set osi transport template osit$loop_clns -
         keepalive time 60

         local nsap nsap-address

14  –  loopback (OpenVMS)

    Default: False         Value: True or false

    Specifies whether transport connections using this template are
    looped back locally in the transport layer.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -

    Default: True          Value: True or false

    Indicates whether the implementation id should be sent in the CR if
    the proposed protocol class is 2 or 4. It is always returned in the
    CC if it is present in the CR.

    set  [node node-id] osi transport template template-id -

    size parameter should be sent in the CC TPDU.

                               NOTE

    The default value of this characteristic should not be changed
    unless the remote implementation does not conform to ISO 8073.
