Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager
3-14 117347-A Rev. A
Except for MCT1 and MCE1 connectors, the Configuration Manager
automatically sets all physical layer parameters, that is, the line parameters, to
default values for the type of connector you select. For all LAN connections,
the Configuration Manager also configures the data link layer connection for
the LAN circuit.
4. Accept the default circuit name or type a new one, then click on OK.
Refer to “Circuit Naming Conventions” on page
3-11 for information about
naming conventions.
5. If the connector supports hardware filters, a window prompts:
Do you want to enable Hardware Filters on this circuit?
Click on OK to enable hardware filters. Otherwise, click on Cancel to exit the
window. You return to the Add Circuit window.
6. Click on OK.
7. Go to the next section to add protocols.
Adding a Protocol to a Circuit
After you name a circuit, the Configuration Manager opens a LAN or WAN
protocols menu, depending on the type of circuit you are configuring. After you
enable a protocol on a circuit, you have configured a network interface.
Go to one of the following sections to enable a protocol:
• “Configuring a LAN Protocol for a Circuit,” next in this chapter.
Refer to this section if you configured any LAN circuits, for example,
Ethernet, FDDI, or token ring.
• “Configuring a WAN Protocol for a Circuit” on page
3-16
Refer to this section if you configured any WAN circuits, for example, COM,
MCT1, or ISDN circuits.
