NET$MGMT_HELP.HLB  —  osi  template
   An OSI transport template entity provides a collection of characteristics
   that supply default values for certain parameters that influence the
   operation of a port on a transport connection. One template, with the
   reserved identifier default, is automatically created when the osi transport
   entity is created. This template is used by default when a user does not
   specify a template identifier in a call to establish a connection. The
   default template is automatically deleted when the osi transport entity is
   deleted.  Similarly, the initial values of the attributes in a template are
   the same as the current values in the default template.

     ACKNOWLEDGMENT DELAY TIME
         Default: 1                         Value: 0-65

         Maximum amount of time, in seconds, that an AK TPDU is to be withheld.
         This attribute is valid for protocol class 4 only.

     CHECKSUMS
         Default: False                         Value: Boolean

         Specifies whether the use of checksums should be negotiated for a
         transport connection.  This attribute is valid for protocol class 4
         only.

     CONS TEMPLATE
         Default: OSI Transport                 Value: Simple-name

         Name of the X.25 Access module template to be used when establishing a
         network connection over the CONS.  Used only when the value of the
         network service attribute is cons.

     CR TIMEOUT
         Default: 30                            Value: 1 - ( 2 to the 23rd)

         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.

     ER TIMEOUT
         Default: 30                            Value: 1 - ( 2 to the 23rd)

         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.

     EXPEDITED DATA
         Default: True                           Value: Boolean

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

     EXTENDED FORMAT
         Default: None                            Value: Boolean

         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.

     INBOUND
         Default: True                             Value: Boolean

         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.

     INITIAL RETRANSMIT TIME
         Default: 5                                Value: 1 - ( 2 to the 23rd )

         Amount of time, in seconds, to wait for an acknowledgment before
         retransmitting the first TPDU over the transport connection.

     KEEPALIVE TIME
         Default: 60                                Value: 1 - 6383

         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.

     LOCAL NSAP
         Default: system dependent                   Value: NSAP address

         A local NSAP address to be used by default if one is not supplied
         across the service interface.

     MAXIMUM NSDU SIZE
         Default: 2048                               Value: 2048

         When operating over the CONS, the maximum NSDU size to use for transmit
         and receive buffers.  Expressed as a number of octets.

     NETWORK SERVICE
         Default: CLNS                                Value: any, CLNS, or CONS

         Type of network service. The network service chosen must be compatible
         with the value of the protocol class attribute.

         ANY -  Either.

         CLNS - Connectionless Network Service.

         CONS - Connection-Oriented Network Service.

     RETRANSMIT THRESHOLD
         Default: 8                                Value: 0 - ( 2 to the 23rd )

         Number of times a TPDU requiring acknowledgment is to be retransmitted
         before it is assumed that network connectivity has failed.  This
         attribute is valid for protocol class 4 only.

     SECURITY
         Default: Null Value                       Value: Octet String

         An octet string to be transmitted in the security parameter of a CR or
         CC TPDU. A null value causes the security parameter to be omitted from
         the TPDU.  For security reasons, this attribute cannot be displayed.

     SEND IMPLEMENTATION ID
         Default: True                             Value: Boolean

         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.

     SEND PREFERRED MAXIMUM TPDU SIZE
         Default: True                              Value: Boolean

         Indicates whether the preferred maximum TPDU size parameter should
         be sent in the CR TPDU.

         If the preferred maximum TPDU size parameter was present in the CR
         TPDU, then it indicates whether the preferred maximum TPDU size
         parameter should be sent in the CC TPDU.

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

     SEND REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGMENT
         Default: True                               Value: Boolean

         Indicates whether the request acknowledgment parameter should be sent
         in the CR TPDU.

         If the request acknowledgment parameter was present in the CR TPDU, then
         it indicates whether the request acknowledgment parameter should be
         sent in the CC TPDU.

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

     USE CLNS ERROR REPORTS
         Default: False                               Value: Boolean

         Indicates whether the network Routing layer's error report facility
         should be used when performing connection establishment.  If set to
         true, this may result in faster detection of an unreachable node at
         the time of connection establishment.  This characteristic should not
         be set to true on an end system that is either dual-railed or
         connected to a network that has a high probability of duplication.
         This is valid only if network service equals CLNS.
