3. To add the link for a WSX port, you must specify which switch port and slot is to be
used. To do so, you must make changes to the values for items 4 and 5. For example, if
your WSX port is in slot 5, port 2, you would enter the following three commands:
: 4=5
: 5=2
: save
After entering the save command, you will be returned to the system prompt.
Adding ISDN Call Links
1. To create a link over ISDN, you must enter a Peer ID number (associated with a “PPP
Entity”) with the command. See Chapter 30, Point-to-Point Protocol, for details on creat-
ing Peer IDs.
For example, to create a link for Peer ID 1, you would enter the following command
(where
p1 is the Peer ID number):
linkadd p1
A screen similar to the following displays:
