Serial Interface Configuration Mode Context

To begin configuring the serial interface for the E1 or T1 connection, you must
access the appropriate configuration mode context. In the ProCurve Secure
Router command line interface (CLI), move to the global configuration mode
context and enter:
Syntax: interface serial <slot>/<port>
On the ProCurve Secure Router, the interface for each physical port is identi-
fied by its slot number and port number. The possible slot numbers for the
serial module are:
1 = dl narrow option module slot 1
2 = dl narrow option module slot 2
3 = dl wide option, or octal, module slot 3 (ProCurve Secure Router
SR7203dl only)
For narrow option module slots, there is only one possible port number: 1.
For example, if the serial module is in slot 1, enter:
ProCurve(config)# interface serial 1/1
For the octal serial module, eight port numbers are possible. For example, if
you are configuring port 6, enter:
ProCurve(config)# interface serial 3/6
After you enter the command, the ProCurve Secure Router prompt should
indicate that you are at the serial interface configuration mode context:
ProCurve(config-ser 3/6)#

Configuring the Interface for the Appropriate Cable

Because the V.35, X.21, and EIA 530 connectors transmit and receive signals
across different pins, you must configure the serial interface to use the
appropriate signaling so that it can communicate with the CSU/DSU. From the
serial interface configuration mode context, enter the following command to
configure the interface for the appropriate cable:
Syntax: serial-mode [EIA530 | V35 | X21]
For example, if you are using an X.21 cable, enter:
ProCurve(config-ser 1/1)# serial-mode X21
The default setting is V35.
