(ASCEND) undocumented feature in MAX 5.0Ap36/i13
In 5.0ai13 on M4000&1800 and 5.0ap36 (probably earlier) on 4000,
an interesting thing happens if you set
Session options-> Max Call Duration=[number of minutes]
and then set
Telco options-> Call Type=Perm/Switched
the call will be redialed whenever the link dies,
AND every [MaxCallDur] minutes the link will disconnect then redial.
you must enter the items in the order above,
because once you set Call Type=Perm/Switched
the Max Call Duration field displays "N/A",
but it continues to do its job even when hidden.
so now you ask, "what good is that?"
I have one customer using NAT on a p50,
with a nailed connection, dialed from me to them.
occasionally they will have network slowdowns which
we THINK are memory allocation problems with the NAT,
if I disconnect them every 60 monutes, problem disappears.
