described in the paragraphs below. To make changes to any Serial parameter,

Figure 4.8 Serial 1 Screen
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 Appendix A,
"Specifications‚" for ordering information.
Mode By default, the Serial port serves as a DCE port in both Packet and non-
Packet 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, "Specifications‚" 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). When the port is in TDM mode, the
packet rate will be either 56 or 64 kbps depending on the Network “mode.”
Values: (bps) 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000, 57600,
64000, 115200
Default: 56000 bps
