Type This parameter 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-6 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 the unit is 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 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
