Supervisory Data Link (SDL) NAP

The supervisory data link (SDL) is a two-way communication link that sends network control data,
such as event information, from one node in the network to another node in the network.
If a 719 NETWORKER is used in the network, you must configure an SDL NAP between the 719
NETWORKER and the 74x multiplexer.

TYPE: E
PRESS: Enter
b. Repeat Steps 6 through 11 if you want to configure the other NAP port as an event
datagram port or go to Step 6 in one of the following sections to configure another type
of NAP (SDL or ELP).
c. Go to Step 12.
PRESS: CTRL + E
You can now disconnect the terminal or PC from the multiplexer and then connect the
cables between the NMS host computer and the multiplexer.
Once a NAP has been configured as a supervisory data link, it
cannot communicate with the multiplexer using the terminal or
PC connected to that NAP unless you press the RESET button
below that NAP using a pen (or other pointed instrument). After
pressing the RESET button, you may need to press the Enter
key on the asynchronous terminal or PC connected to that NAP
several times before you see a valid prompt. The RESET
operation restores the NAP to its default ''supervisory"
configuration.
If you are at the Network Configuration menu, start at Step 6 in the
following procedure. If you are not within the menu hierarchy, start
at Step 1.
