Dial link configuration provides the information necessary to interface the
gateway-half NI to a dial link. The Gateway Half Dial Link Configuration screen
(#109), shown in Figure 10-10 "Gateway Half
Dial Link Configuration Screen", is displayed when you select an NI link
name and link type DD at the Gateway Half Network Interface Link
screen (Figure 10-8 "Gateway Half Network
Interface Link Screen") and press the [Add] or [Modify]
function key. It is also displayed when you type the path name:
@NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK.linkname
in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where
NIname is the configured gateway-half NI, and linkname is the
configured gateway half NI link.

Press the [Save Data] function key to transfer the data displayed on the
screen to the configuration file you are creating or updating. Verify that the
data record has been created by checking that the Data flag is set to
Y.
Fields
- Enable dial ID protocol (Y/N)
A Y (Yes) value activates the dial ID protocol for
a dial link. The dial ID protocol verifies the identity of a remote
node and ensures that both local and remote nodes have the required
security access.
The dial ID protocol should be disabled (by entering N) only to
connect a dial link to a remote node that does not support the dial ID
protocol (that is, a non-HP node).

NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK
Configures a link name and type.
NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.DIAL.SECURITY
Configures security strings for this node.
Default value: Y
Range: Y or N
- Phone number
This is the telephone number of this node's
partner gateway half. Enter the telephone number as a combination
of decimal numbers (0 through 9), dashes, and the following special
characters:
- /
Separator used for automatic call units that have second
dial-tone detect.
- E
Optional end-of-number indicator.
- D
One second delay (used for European modems and automatic call
units that require built-in delays).
- #
Defined by local phone system.
- *
Defined by local phone system.
Enter ! to disable outbound dialing. A ! is required if the
destination node is a personal computer.
Default value: None
- Security string
This is the security string of this node's
partner gateway half. It is relevant if the Dial ID protocol is enabled
and security is enabled. The security screen can contain as many
as eight alphanumeric characters. It must be left justified and
contain no embedded blanks.
Related screens:
NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK
Dial ID protocol is enabled/disabled here
NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.DIAL
Security validation is enabled/disabled here.
Default value: HP
- Start device on gateway half initialization (Y/N)
A Y (Yes) value means that the device is to be started when
a NETCONTROL START command is issued for this network interface.
N (No) means that a NETCONTROL ADDLINK command must be
used to start the device.
Default value: Y
Range: Y or N
- Enable idle device timer (Y/N)
This field specifies whether the device is to be disconnected
automatically if no packets have been received or transmitted over
the link during a specified time period. It is relevant only if
a nonzero timeout value has been entered in the Gateway Half NI
screen (see related screens).
