Type Selects the type of interface (based on its electrical signal characteristics) used
by the equipment connected to the Serial port.
Values: V.35, RS-232, EIA-530
Default: V.35
NOTICE: V.35 requires the use of an optional cable. Refer to "Optional
Equipment" on page A-5 for ordering information.
Mode By default, the Serial port serves as a DCE port in both Packet and TDM
modes. However, the Serial port can serve as a DTE port when in Packet
mode.
If the Serial port connects to a DTE device (such as a FRAD or a router), the
Mode parameter must be set to “DCE.” If this port connects to a DCE device
(such as a DSU/CSU), this parameter must be set to “DTE” (valid only for
Packet mode, not TDM).
Values: DCE, DTE
Default: DCE
NOTICE: DTE mode requires the use of an optional DTE cable. Refer to
Appendix A for ordering information.
Packet Rate If the port is running in Packet mode, the Packet Rate must be configured to
the desired port speed (in bits per second). In TDM mode, the port speed rate
will be set by configuring the next four parameters (Start Channel, Number of
Channels, Bundling, and Channel Rate).
Values: Nx56K or Nx64K where N = 1-32
Default: 1536 kbps
