NETWORK SERVICE Default: CLNS Value: any, CLNS, or CONS Type of network service. The network service chosen must be compatible with the value of the protocol class attribute. ANY - Either. CLNS - Connectionless Network Service. CONS - Connection-Oriented Network Service. RETRANSMIT THRESHOLD Default: 8 Value: 0 - ( 2 to the 23rd ) Number of times a TPDU requiring acknowledgment is to be retransmitted before it is assumed that network connectivity has failed. This attribute is valid for protocol class 4 only. SECURITY Default: Null Value Value: Octet String An octet string to be transmitted in the security parameter of a CR or CC TPDU. A null value causes the security parameter to be omitted from the TPDU. For security reasons, this attribute cannot be displayed. SEND IMPLEMENTATION ID Default: True Value: Boolean Indicates whether the implementation id should be sent in the CR if the proposed protocol class is 2 or 4. It is always returned in the CC if it is present in the CR. SEND PREFERRED MAXIMUM TPDU SIZE Default: True Value: Boolean Indicates whether the preferred maximum TPDU size parameter should be sent in the CR TPDU. If the preferred maximum TPDU size parameter was present in the CR TPDU, then it indicates whether the preferred maximum TPDU size parameter should be sent in the CC TPDU. The default value of this characteristic should not be changed unless the remote implementation does not conform to ISO 8073. SEND REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGMENT Default: True Value: Boolean Indicates whether the request acknowledgment parameter should be sent in the CR TPDU. If the request acknowledgment parameter was present in the CR TPDU, then it indicates whether the request acknowledgment parameter should be sent in the CC TPDU. The default of this characteristic should not be changed unless the remote implementation does not conform to ISO 8073. USE CLNS ERROR REPORTS Default: False Value: Boolean Indicates whether the network Routing layer's error report facility should be used when performing connection establishment. If set to true, this may result in faster detection of an unreachable node at the time of connection establishment. This characteristic should not be set to true on an end system that is either dual-railed or connected to a network that has a high probability of duplication. This is valid only if network service equals CLNS.
