The MT330A supports PPP (RFC 1661) and BCP (RFC 1638). The MT330A is a 10Base-T bridge that operates over G.703 lines. It uses MAC learning and forwarding to provide seamless LAN-to-LAN connectivity. As a result, corporate enterprises can connect their servers to a pair of NTUs and auto- matically forward data packets that are meant for the remote network.
G.703 NTU W/10BASET 2. PPP Operational Background PPP is a protocol used for multi-plexed transport over a point-to-point link. PPP operates on all full duplex media, and is a symmetric peer-to-peer protocol, which can be divided into the following main components: A standard method to encapsulate datagrams over serial links •...

Bridge. The router serial interface connects to the WAN via a MT311A (V.35) E1 NTU and to the remote MT330A with support for PPP bridging. The MT330A functions as a node on the remote Ethernet network. The serial interface on the router will have an IP address on the same Ethernet subnet as the bridge.
DIP switch configurations of the MT330A. 3.4 DIP Switch Configurations The MT330A has an internal DIP switch that enables configuration for a wide range of applications. The DIP switch is accessed from the underside. Figure 2 shows the location of the DIP switches on the bottom of the printed circuit board.
S1-2 Line Loopback (toward Off = LLB disabled E1 line) On = LLB enabled Note The MT330A, when in line loopback mode, will loop the network line and return any trafic received on the E1 line to the sending device at the remote end.

G.703 NTU W/10BASET Options: HDB3, AMI HDB3. In this line coding, the transmitter substitutes a deliberate bipolar viola- • tion when excessive zeros in the data stream are detected. The receiver recog- nizes these special violations and decodes them as zeros. This method enables the network to meet minimum pulse density requirements.
The Ethernet 10Base-T port is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). • If the MT330A is to connect to another DTE device such as a 10Base-T net- work interface card in a PC, refer to “Connecting the 10Base-T Ethernet port to a PC (DTE)”...

ONNECTING THE THERNET PORT TO A To connect the MT330A to another DTE device such as a 10Base-T network interface card, construct a 10Base-T crossover cable and connect the wires as shown in Figure 6 below and Figure 7 on page 16.
This power supply connects to the MT330A by means of a barrel jack on the rear panel. Many international power cords are available for the uni- versal power supply. Note The MT330A powers up as soon as it is plugged into an AC outlet— there is no power switch.
