Control signals
Control signals provide the handshaking required for call setup, call tear-down and
synchronization. Control signals can be configured as:
•
high (ON)
•
low (OFF)
•
end to end (END_TO_END)
End-to-end means the state of the local signal follows that of the signal source at the
remote end of the network. This option is only available when HCM rate adaption is
used.
Table 19-1 shows the default control signals settings. If the device is configured as
synchronous, DTR and DSR are not functional for V.35 DCMs.
