IDs start with the number one (1), and are incremented sequentially. As DS0 mappings (connections) are deﬁned, the 6511RC assigns connection IDs automatically. When the user enters DS0 mapping parameters and clicks the Submit Query button, the 6511RC automatically assigns the next available ID number in sequence to that connection.

6 • System Clocking Model 6511RC Switch Matrix Administrators’ Reference Guide Introduction During operation, the T-DAC synchronizes data transmission on all DS0 channels with a clock pulse, called the reference clock. This reference clock synchronizes all the cards in the ForeFront chassis, or all the cards in a chassis segment in the Model 6676 ForeFront chassis.
Page 53: System Clocking Overview Window
By default, Auto Recovery Feature Desired State is disabled at the factory before the 6511RC is shipped. To acti- vate the 6511RC’s clock auto recovery system you must enable it. When disabled, the 6511RC, operating on fallback reference clock, will not switch back to primary reference clock, even if the primary reference becomes available.
Page 54: Operator Actions Buttons
The Primary Reference and Fallback Reference parameters deﬁne a primary and secondary (fallback) reference for the 6511RC system clock source (and for all blades in the chassis when the 6511RC’s clocking mode is deﬁned as master). The 6511RC will use the fallback reference if and only if the primary reference becomes unavailable. By default, the clocking fallback mechanism is disabled at the factory before the 6511RC is shipped.

To add a RIP address to the 6511RC’s RIP Version 2 table, do the following: 1. Enter the IP network address of the interface on the 6511RC that you want to enable RIP. This will be the LAN IP address, in other words, the IP address of the 6511RC. This is not the IP address of the device you want to direct RIP packets to.
