The screen shown in Figure 2-1 appears. Local Management Flash Image Version: xx.xx.
THE WAN PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION SCREEN The WAN Physical Configuration screen displays the following information for each WPIM. WPIM 1-4 Displays configuration information for as many as four WPIMs. NOTE Each BRIM-W6 supports two WPIMs. Some of Cabletron’s products (e.g., the NBR-620 or the EMM-E6) will support two BRIM-W6 modules providing connectivity for as many as four WPIMs. Only one WPIM per BRIM-W6 can be active. TYPE Displays the WPIM type.
CHAPTER 2: LOCAL MANAGEMENT SY Port Type Displays the Synchronous port electrical interface type. The selections toggle between V.35, RS422, RS232, X.21, and None. This field always displays a Synchronous Port Type, even if the Synchronous Port is not the active WAN port. The default setting for this field is V.35. Appendix A lists Cabletron Interface Cable part numbers and connector pinouts. Force CTS True Displays the source of the Clear To Send (CTS) signal. The CTS signal is an input to the WPIM-SY.
THE WAN INTERFACE CONFIGURATION SCREEN 2.2 THE WAN INTERFACE CONFIGURATION SCREEN This section describes the features of the WAN Interface Configuration screen. Access the screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the WAN Int Config option at the bottom of the Physical Configuration screen, then press ENTER. The WAN Interface Configuration screen shown in Figure 2-2 appears. LOCAL MANAGEMENT Cabletron Revision 00.00.
CHAPTER 2: LOCAL MANAGEMENT Data Compression Displays the status of Data Compression. This field displays YES or NO. The default setting is NO. Max Xmit Unit User configured field that displays the maximum packet size that can be transmitted on the selected interface. The default settings for this field are 8191 for PPP and 4095 for Frame Relay. Line Coding Displays the Line Coding for timeslots associated with this interface. This field displays JBZS, INV-HDLC, or None.
THE WAN INTERFACE CONFIGURATION SCREEN PT# Displays the application ports (bridge ports) available from the host platform to the WAN. If the active protocol is PPP, Local Management assigns only one application port per interface number (IF#). If the active protocol is Frame Relay, Local Management assigns the available WAN bridge ports from the host platform, one per DLCI.
CHAPTER 2: LOCAL MANAGEMENT 2.3 PPP CONFIGURATION This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting the WPIM-SY to a DDS (Digital Data System) circuit in a PPP environment.
