DECnet Protocol
Required for DECnet
The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used,
DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.
•
Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port)
•
Set DECnet area
•
Set DECnet node
CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet:
Ethernet Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet Ethernet 0 (and/or any other
port numbers you wish to configure) section. Use configure and set the Enabled, Area, and
Node keywords in the DECnet Global section.
v Note: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.
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-Quad 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 numbers 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 numbers you wish to configure) section.
Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
