Configuring the Synchronous Interface

Introduction
Key commands
™
System
You must specify Synchronous Interface Encapsulation for installations that use
data channels. After you specify an encapsulation method, you must also
configure the associated interface settings through the Modify-encap-data
command. For example, if you set the encapsulation to point-to-point protocol
(PPP), then you must also configure the PPP interface with the Modify-encap-
data command.
The following key commands are available using the synchronous-interface
command:
Encapsulation Allows the selection of the encapsulation protocol to be frame
relay, PPP, or high-level data link control (HDLC).
HDLC Inversion Enabling HDLC inversion helps the line comply with the ones
density specification. Ones density applies only if the network
T1/DSX-1 interface is configured to use AMI line coding,
regardless of the encapsulation scheme being used on the
synchronous interface.
Modify encap data Allows the selection of specific values appropriate to the
chosen encapsulation scheme.
IP Unnumbered The SLC ConnectReach system allows the use of "Internet
protocol (IP) unnumbered" WAN interfaces. An unnumbered
interface is an interface that does not consume a unique IP
address. This option is enabled by setting the IP-address
command to Enet, indicating that this interface is to share the
same IP address as the Ethernet interface.
RIP For each encapsulation there are four routing information
protocol (RIP) options; Enable, RxOnly, TxOnly and Disable.
If RxOnly RIP is selected, advertisements are accepted (that
is, received). If TxOnly RIP is selected, advertisements are
sent (that is, transmitted). Setting RIP to enable activates
both transmit and receive. To turn off RIP, select disable.
