Parameters

mchlu_name
The name of the physical circuit logical unit (NPSI MCH LU).
DDN
Use DDN for the Defense Data Network.
dnic
The X.121 Data Network Identifier Code (DNIC) for the public data network. The dnic parameter can be coded as PRIVATE or PRIV to denote a private X.25 network.
dte_addr
The X.25 DTE address for the link. The address must be from 1 - 15 decimal digits. This parameter is not coded for DDN links. Specify dte_addr as NONE to omit the calling address from the call request packet.
window_size
The window size to negotiate on switched virtual circuits, in the range of 1 - 7 for a modulo-8 network, or 1 - 127 for a modulo-128 network.
packet_size
Choose one of the following X.25 packet sizes as the default: 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1 024, 2 048, or 4 096 bytes.
logical_channels
The number of logical channels (switched virtual circuits) subscribed, in the range of 1 - 1 023.

Examples

In the following example, AU20 is the name of a non-DDN network, and AU16 is the name of a DDN network.
