This completes the procedure for configuring controlled-carrier mode on an EIA/TIA-232 interface. For
additional information on configuring half-duplex operation on low-speed serial interfaces, refer to the
chapter "Configuring Interfaces" of the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide publication.

Note
To configure EIA/TIA-232 interfaces for Binary Synchronous (Bisync) operation in Cisco 7200 series
routers, refer to the "Block Serial Tunneling (BSTUN)" section of the "Configuring Serial Tunnel
(STUN) and Block Serial Tunnel (BSTUN)" chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration
Guide.
Checking the Configuration
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface
or all interfaces, and use the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity. This section includes
the following subsections:
