       /TIMEOUT
       /NOTIMEOUT

    Optional. Default: /NOTIMEOUT

    o  /TIMEOUT

       Creates a TNA device that has the following connection
       attributes:

       -  NOIDLE-The connection is broken when the device is finally
          deassigned. The device will automatically reconnect when
          data is written to it.

       -  IDLE-Specifies the idle time for the device. If the device
          is idle for at least the specified amount of time (note
          that the time has a granularity of one second), then the
          connection will be broken. Idle means that the device has
          neither received nor sent any data for the idle period.

       -  NORECONNECTION-The device does not automatically retry
          reconnections if they fail.

       -  RECONNECTION-When data is written to the device and
          the device is not connected, this value determines the
          interval between reconnection attempts. For example, if
          an application writes to a TNA with a RECONNECTION-0:1:00,
          and if the first connection attempt fails, then subsequent
          connection attempts will be made in 1-minute intervals.

    o  /NOTIMEOUT

       Creates a TNA device that breaks the connection when the
       device is finally deassigned (the last channel assignment
       is deassigned).

2    /PERMANENT

    Optional.

    Creates a TNA device that disconnects on deassignment and
    reconnects on assignment.

3    /PROTOCOL

       /PROTOCOL=options

    Optional. Default: NONE. Options include:

    o  NONE

       Data is sent with no interpretation (raw).

    o  NVT

       Network Virtual Terminal (NVT), TELNET's internal
       representation of a standard network terminal. NVT format
       is standard 7-bit ASCII code transmitted in 8-bit octets, the
       canonical form of data representation used by both the client
       and server.

    o  TELNET

       Standard TELNET protocol.

    o  RLOGIN

       Standard RLOGIN protocol.
