Protocol Bindings
Configuration – Network > Interfaces > Serial> Protocol Bindings
Digi routers are soft configurable to allow different protocols to be used on different
interfaces. The process of selecting which protocol will be used on a particular interface is
referred to as “binding”. So, for example Serial (ASY) port 0 may be used for an ISDN B
channel X.25 connection in which case PAD 0 would be bound to Serial 0 (assuming that
PAD 0 is the required PAD). (To complete this example, it would also be necessary to
associate the PAD with a LAPB instance using the appropriate page). Protocols are bound to
serial interfaces using a table with a drop-down list box for selecting the protocol and a
drop-down list for selecting the serial port.
By default, if no specific protocol has been bound to a serial interface, a PPP instance will
automatically be associated with that port. This means that PPP is treated as the default
protocol associated with the serial ports.
Protocol
Select the desired protocol from this drop-down list.
Bound to
Select the desired serial port from this drop-down list.
Add
Click this button to add the binding.
Delete
When a binding has been added, it appears in the table and a “Delete” button appears in
the right-hand column. Click this button to remove the binding. (Remember that the binding
does not come into force until the “Apply” button at the bottom of the page has been
clicked).
