Port 0 is RS-232.
Port 1 must be either RS-232 or DSU.
Ports 2 and 3 are determined by the attached cable: V.35, RS-232, RS-449, or X.21.
Ports 4–7 are also determined by the cables, which depend on the expansion card.
Interfaces (with cards in parentheses) are: V.35 (V.35), RS-232 (RS-232), RS-449
(RS-422), or X.21 (RS-422).
Each cable is physical DTE (male connector) or DCE (female connector). Add a
the interface type to record this information. (This does not apply to a DSU or LAN port.)
The protocols that can be assigned to ports depend on the model of FRX4000 and the options
2
that were purchased. All possible protocols are listed below:
Ports 0–7, CSU/DSU: Frame relay, X.25, SDLC, BSC Interactive, BSC Batch, Async.
LAN Port: IP, IPX, Bridge, LLC2.
Note that LAN protocols (IP, IPX, Bridge, LLC2) are also assigned to physical frame relay
ports via interface records that map the protocols to the physical ports.
Ports 4–7 are on optional expansion card
