Subject: NetWare Link/X.25 Virtual Circuit Modes
Date: October 9, 1990

GENERAL
INFORMATION: The NetWare Link/X.25 product is a multipoint router for
NetWare v2.1 and above. It runs in a nondedicated bridge.
It replaced the Novell X.25 Multipoint Bridge.
PROBLEM: Many X.25 customers (including Novell UK) have their line
configured for 3 kinds of Virtual Circuit (VC) - Incoming
Only, Outgoing Only, and Two Way. With the old X.25
software it was possible to configure the starting logical
channels for each of these VC types. However, with the Link
software only the starting logical channel for all types is
configurable.
Now, this is fine if all channels are two way; however, when
we mix them (for example, we want to guarantee a free
channel for incoming calls, so our channel 4 is incoming
only) we find that an incoming call comes in on an outgoing
channel. It is then rejected.
Since the old software was configurable, it worked fine.
SOLUTION: Reconfigure the line for all two way VCs, or use the old
software.
