Configuring WAN Port Settings

Routing over ISDN. Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) provides fast dial-up
connectivity for applications where the expense of a dedicated Frame Relay or leased
line connection is not called for by the amount and nature of the traffic. For more
information, see Chapter 10 "Configuring T1, E1, and ISDN PRI."
Once you have determined the type of synchronous connection to use between your
remote locations, the synchronous port on each end of the connection must be
configured.
Configuring WAN Port Settings
The WAN port settings described in this section enable you to configure your
synchronous port for your needs. "General Synchronous Settings" on page 6-2 includes
settings that are available for all connection types. The settings in "Settings for
Hardwired Connections" on page 6-5 are available only for network hardwired
connections.

Setting the View

To configure a synchronous serial line as a WAN port, you must first set the view to the
slot containing the board for the line that you want to configure. To set the view, enter
the show boards command to determine the identification number of the line board
you want to configure.
The board identification number is the same as the number of the slot in which the T1
or E1 line board is installed.
Command> show boards
Use the following command to set the view to a slot with an installed T1 or E1 line
board:
Command> set view Slotnumber
Setting the view for a specific board gives you administrative access to that board.

General Synchronous Settings

The following settings can be used on synchronous ports configured for all connection
types.
Displaying Extended Port Information
The PortMaster can display synchronous port information in brief or extended modes.
The default setting is off.
To enable or disable extended information for a port, use the following command:
Command> set W1 extended on|off
Note – This command affects only the display of port information. It does not affect port
behavior.
