Enabled

Enables or disables this IP service. Available only with an IP Service Type of AESVCS or SAT.

Local Node

Valid Entry

Usage

procr

The Communication Manager’s Processor Ethernet interface for adjunct connectivity.

Local Port

The originating port number.

Valid Entry

Usage

5000 to 9999

5111 to 5117 for SAT applications.

8765 for AE Services.

0

For client applications, defaults to 0.

Remote Node

The server or switch at the far end of the link for SAT.

Valid Entry

Usage

IP node name

A previously-administered node name used to provide added security for SAT.

any

Any available node.

Remote Port

The port number of the destination.

Valid Entry

Usage

5000 to 64500

If this service is a client application, such as CDR or PMS. This value must match the port administered on the adjunct, Personal Computer, or terminal server that is at the remote end of this connection.

0

Default for System Management applications.

Service Type

The service provided.

Valid Entry

Usage

AESVCS

AE Services.

CDR1, CDR2

Either the primary or secondary CDR device connects over a TCP/IP link or TLS link.

If you enter y for the TLS Encryption, then the primary or secondary CDR device connects over a TLS link. Else, the primary or secondary CDR device connects over a TCP/IP link.

PMS

Property Management System.

PMS_JOURNAL

The PMS journal printer connects over a TCP/IP link.

PMS_LOG

The PMS log printer connects over a TCP/IP link.

SAT

System administration terminal.

SYS_PRINT

The system printer connects over a TCP/IP link.

TLS Encryption

Allows you to configure TLS encryption for CDR1 and CDR2 service types.

Valid Entry

Usage

Y

Enables TLS encryption for CDR1 and CDR2 service types.

N

Disables TLS encryption. Entering n supports backward compatibility where TCP only is used. This is the default value.

IP Services: page 3

Enables reliable protocol for TCP/IP links, and establishes other session-layer parameters. Available only if CDR1, CDR2, PMS_JOURNAL, or PMS_LOG is administered for the Service Type.

Connectivity Timer

Valid Entry

Usage

1 to 255

The amount of time in seconds that the link can be idle before Communication Manager sends a connectivity message to ensure the link is still up.

Packet Resp Timer

Valid Entry

Usage

1 to 255

The number of seconds to wait from the time a packet is sent until a response (acknowledgement) is received from the far-end, before trying to resend the packet.

Reliable Protocol

Enables or disables reliable protocol over this link. If enabled, uses reliable protocol if the adjunct on the far end of the link supports it.

Service Type

The service type for establishing parameters.

Valid Entry

Usage

CDR1, CDR2

Connects either the primary or secondary CDR device over a TCP/ IP link.

PMS_JOURNAL

Connects the PMS journal printer over a TCP/IP link.

PMS_LOG

Connects the PMS log printer over a TCP/IP link.

Session Connect Message Cntr

Valid Entry

Usage

1 to 5

The number of times Communication Manager tries to establish a connection with the far-end adjunct.

SPDU Cntr

Valid Entry

Usage

1 to 5

The number of times Communication Manager transmits a unit of protocol data before generating an error.
