In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
Suggested for DECnet
Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.
WAN Interface Configuration
The default setting for all WAN interfaces on your Octal V.35-10/100 RIOP is Off for all
protocols and for the link configuration. In order to use a WAN interface, you must first set
some physical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.
Physical Communications Settings
You may need to set the baud rate or other physical communications parameters for the WAN
interface. These parameters will depend on the line communications device you are using.
CV: Use the Physical Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and the V.35 Interface WAN 0 (and/or any other port you wish to
configure) section.
PPP Configuration
This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point) protocol operation of the V.35
WAN interfaces.
WAN Link Configuration
Required for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation
Dedicated line operation is the simplest to set up.
•
Set Dedicated connection
•
Set PPP connection
CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config
WAN 0 (and/or any other port you wish to configure) section.
Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
IP Protocol
Required for IP
WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address. They are
set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this mode of operation, there are no required
settings.
Suggested for IP
These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to.
With this information, routing can take place.
•
Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or BGP (Border Gateway
Protocol)
•
Set IP static routes
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: WAN Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog
Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF and BGP can only be config-
