Some of the X.25 service parameters are critical, but for other service
parameters the default values provided with the tool are adequate. The
following procedure sets the critical values and leaves the other service
parameters at their defaults. This procedure is adequate for most installations.
All settings are network dependent and may require fine tuning for efficient
and stable operation of the X.25 link.
Prerequisites
Register a license password using Registering a license password
(page 20).
Procedure steps
Step Action

To configure a point-to-point connection, the first dialog box you use is the IP
Interface Configuration Dialog box. In this dialog box, add the local IP address
of the workstation, the remote IP address of the Multiservice Switch, and
specify the connection as a point-to-point connection. From this dialog box,
open another dialog box to specify advanced IP over X.25 configuration
parameters.
The second dialog box you use is the Remote Host to X.25 Map dialog box.
In this dialog box, you specify information that maps the Remote X.25 address
entered in the IP Interface Configuration Dialog box to the DNA of the
Multiservice Switch.
Prerequisites
Configure an X.25 link on a DPN using Configuring an X.25 link (page 22).
Provision an IP over X.25 link on a Multiservice Switch using Provisioning
an IP over X.25 link for Multiservice Switches (page 28).
Procedure steps
Step Action
5 If there are any default IP interfaces defined, select them one at time and
click Delete.
6 Click Add.
The fields and buttons in the lower half of the dialog box turn from gray to
black to indicate that they are active.
7 Type the following values in the fields dialog box:
Local IP address:
The IP address of the workstation.
Remote IP address:
The IP address of the switch.
8 Set the Point to: menu button to Point.
9 Set the MTU field to the default of 576.
10 Click Apply.
The local and remote IP address information you just entered is added to
the list of mappings in the upper half of the dialog box.
11 Ensure that the mapping is still selected (highlighted).
12 Click Modify.
The X.25 Parameters Advanced Configuration Parameters button turns
from gray to black to indicate that it is active.
13 Click X.25 Parameters.
The X25 Configuration IP Address dialog box appears.
14 Type the preemption timeout in the Preemption Timer field.
The number of seconds that a connection must be idle before it can be
closed (preempted) for another purpose. When all X.25 circuits available to
the IP application are in use and an IP packet arrives for transmission to a
new destination, SunLink closes the connection that has been idle the
longest. The preemption timer determines the minimum time a connection
must be idle before it can be preempted in this way.
If the workstation is being used for surveillance or data collection, set this
timer to a minimum of 6000 to avoid undesired teardown of VC connections
and to keep the communications path to the switch stable.
If the workstation is not being used for purposes that require the connection
to remain up, say for entering commands, you can set the pre-ambition timer
to a lower value.
15 Type the disconnection timeout in the Disconnection Timer field.
The time in seconds that a connection to a given network can remain idle
before being closed. For a value of 6000, this represents 100 minutes.
If the workstation is being used for surveillance or data collection, you must
set this timer to a minimum of 6000 to avoid undesired teardown of VC
connections and to keep the communications path to the switch stable. If the
workstation is not being used for purposes that require the connection to
remain up, say for entering commands, you can set the disconnection timer
to a value of less than 300. You can do this because when a connection is
set up, the switch sends a reset packet after 5 minutes (value of 300), and
then every 3 minutes (value of 180) thereafter.
16 Leave all other items in this dialog box set at their default values.
17 Click Apply, and then OK.
The X25 Configuration for IP Interface dialog box closes.
18 Select IP->IP Mapping from the Services menu in the x25tool 9.2 window.
The Remote IP Host to X.25 Address Map dialog box appears.
19 Click Add in the Remote IP Host to X.25 Address Map dialog box.
The fields and buttons in the lower half of the dialog box turn from gray to
black to indicate that they are active.
20 Type the following values into the Remote IP Host to X.25 Address Map
dialog box:
Remote IP address
This the IP address of the switch. This address must match the IP address
of the switch that you typed into the IP Interface Configuration Dialog box.
Link number
The number of the X.25 link on which the IP application is running. It must
match the link number you typed into the Link Editor window when you
configured X.25 on the link.
Remote X.25 address
The DNA that corresponds to the IP address of the switch.
21 Leave all other items in this dialog box set at their default values.
It is not necessary to click the Advanced Configuration X.25 Parameters
button to specify X.25 parameters in the X25 Configuration for IP dialog box
because the default values in the dialog box are sufficient for most
installations.
22 Click Apply, and then OK.
The Remote IP Host to X.25 Address Map dialog box closes.
23 Select Save from the File menu in the x.25tool 9.2 window.
