DEAD TIMER Default: 10000 Value: 1-65535 Specifies the delay, in milliseconds, between polls of one of the set of dead tributaries. This attribute is supported only if the characteristic protocol is set to control. DELAY TIMER Default: 0 Value: 0-65535 Specifies the minimum delay, in milliseconds, between polls. You can use this timer to limit the effect of a fast control station on slower tributaries. A value of 0 means that no delay is added. This attribute is supported only if the characteristic protocol is set to control. PHYSICAL LINE Default: No Name Value: local-entity-name Name of the Physical layer entity that the link operates over. A value for this characteristic must be set before the link entity is enabled. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. PROTOCOL Default: Point Protocol mode used by the local station. You cannot modify this characteristic. The value of this characteristic is a copy of the protocol argument specified when the DDCMP link entity is created. The default value is point and is the only permissible value. RECEIVE BUFFERS Default: 4 Value: 1-255 Number of receive buffers reserved for the link. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. Also, you can only increase the characteristic value. RETRANSMIT TIMER Default: 3000 Value: 1-65535 Maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait between sending a message and receiving a valid response. If this time expires, the local station takes error recovery action. On full-duplex point-to-point links, the timer is started immediately when a message is sent. SCHEDULING TIMER Default: 200 Value: 50-65535 Time, in milliseconds, between the recalculation of tributary polling priorities. This attribute is supported only if the characteristic protocol is set to control. STREAM TIMER Default: 6000 Value: 0-65535 Time, in milliseconds, for which a tributary or the remote station on a half-duplex, point-to-point link can hold the line. This characteristic is not supported if the characteristic protocol is set to tributary.
