Using Synchronous Leased Lines 19-3
Configuration Steps for Leased Line Connections
signal, you do not need to set the speed on the synchronous port. The port speed is
whatever the carrier sends. If you choose to set a speed, it is used for administrative
notationonly and does not affect the operation of the port.
PortMaster synchronous ports support leased line connections from 9600bps to T1
(1.544Mbps) or E1 (2.048Mbps) speeds. Synchronous ports used for leased line
connections are configured for PPP operation and can have input and output filters for
network security.
Note – The PortMaster also supports numbered IP interfaces on leased lines, but Lucent
does not recommended this method because it wastes IP address space.
Configuration Steps for Leased Line Connections
This example connects a PortMaster Office Router in Rome with a PortMaster Office
Router in Florence using a leased line connection.
To install your PortMaster, follow the instructions in your hardware installation guide. If
you need additional help, refer to the troubleshooting chapter of your installation guide.
The example in this chapter shows
variables in italics. Change these values to reflect
your network.
Once you have assigned an IP address to the PortMaster, continue with the following
steps:
1. Configure the following settings for the PortMaster in Rome:
a. Global settings (page 19-4)
b. Ethernet interface settings (page 19-4)
c. Synchronous WAN port settings (page 19-5)
2. Configure the following settings for the PortMaster in Florence:
a. Global settings (page 19-6)
b. Ethernet interface settings (page 19-6)
c. Synchronous WAN port settings (page 19-7)
3. Troubleshoot the configuration, if necessary (page 19-8).
