1 – Characteristics
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o protocol
Default: Point Value: See following description
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.
o receive buffers
Default: 4 Value: 1-255
Specifies the 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.
o 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.
o scheduling timer
Default: 200 Value: 50-65535
Specifies the time, in milliseconds, between the recalculation of
tributary polling priorities. This attribute is supported only if
the characteristic protocol is set to control.
o stream timer
Default: 6000 Value: 0-65535
Specifies the 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.
2 – Counters
o creation time
Time at which this entity was created.
o naks received indicating message header format error

the remote station.
o pdus received with message header format error
Number of times the local station detected an error in a message
header.
o receive overruns
Number of times the local station detected a receive overrun.
o selection address errors
Number of times that the controller of a multipoint link
received a message with an address other than that of the
currently selected station. This counter is supported only if
the characteristic protocol is set to control.
o streaming tributaries
Number of times that the remote station (or a tributary station)
exceeded the maximum transmission interval without releasing
the line, or failed to release the line after sending a message
with the select flag set. This counter is present only on half-
duplex, point-to-point links, or when the local station is a
controller of a multipoint link. This counter is not supported if
the protocol characteristic is set to tributary.
o transmit underruns
Number of times the local station detected a transmit underrun.
3 – Identifier
o name
Simple name assigned to the link when it is created.
4 – Status
o physical port
Name of the port entity in the Physical layer returned when the
port is opened. If this is null, the port is not open.
o state
State of the DDCMP link. The value of this attribute is
determined by the enable and disable commands.
off The entity is disabled.
on The entity is enabled.
In addition the link is disabled and its state set to off if the
Physical layer port that the link uses is deleted.
o uid
Entity's unique identifier, which is generated when the entity is
created.

this attribute is affected by the value of the characteristic
polling state. If the characteristic polling state is set to
automatic, the value of this status attribute reflects the
current state of the polling algorithm. For all other values of
the polling state characteristic, the values of both attributes
are the same.
active The tributary is active and responds with data when
selected.
dead The tributary did not respond when selected within
the appropriate timeout period, when already in
the Dying or Inactive state. The tributary will be
ignored until the station reinitializes.
dying The tributary, currently in the Inactive or Active
state, has not responded within the appropriate
timeout period when selected.
inactive The tributary has not sent any data when selected
by the control station. However, the tributary has
responded with an appropriate message when selected.
o protocol state
State of the data link protocol with the remote station.
halted The protocol is stopped and no messages are being
exchanged with the remote station.
maintenance The protocol is off line and dealing with
maintenance messages only.
running The protocol is on line and is exchanging messages
with the remote station.
starting There is an attempt to initialize the protocol
between the local and remote stations. This uses
the STRT and STACK PDUs.
o state
Operational state of the local logical station.
off The station is disabled.
on The station is enabled.
o uid
Entity's unique identifier, which is generated when the entity is
created.
