Configuring Async Ports 10-11
Physical Port Interface
must be configured as follows. For reference, port locations are shown on page 5-1
(FRX4000), page 5-2 (FRX6000), and page 5-3 (FRM).
●
FRX4000 port 0 is always
RS-232
.
●
FRX4000 port 1 is
RS-232
or
DSU
, depending on whether the optional CSU/
DSU card is installed.
●
FRX4000 ports 2 and 3 are determined by the attached cables: RS-232, V.35,
RS-449, or X.21.
●
FRX4000 ports 4–7 are determined by the expansion Line Interface Card (LIC)
and attached I/O cables. Line Processor Configuration identifies the LIC, and
only the valid interfaces will be displayed on the Port screen. Possible interfaces
are
RS-232, V.35, RS-449, and X.21. (RS-449 and X.21 interfaces require an
RS-422 LIC, which is available by special order.)
●
FRX6000 ports 0–7 on each RLP are determined by the Line Interface Card(s)
and attached I/O cables. Line Processor Configuration identifies the LIC, and
only the valid interfaces will be displayed on the Port screen. Possible interfaces
are
RS-232, V.35, RS-449, and X.21
. (RS-449, RS-530, and X.21 i
nterfaces
require an RS-422 LIC.)
●
FRM ports 0–7 are determined by the Line Interface Cards and attached I/O
cables. Line Processor Configuration identifies the LICs, and only the valid
interfaces will be displayed on the Port screen
.
Possible interfaces are RS-232,
V.35, RS-449, and X.21
. (RS-449, RS-530, and X.21 i
nterfaces require an RS-422
LIC. Also, RS-530 and X.21 are available through special order only.)
Blocked Port Flag
will cause the port to be enabled (
N
) or disabled (
Y
) at node IPL. The port will remain
in that state until this parameter is changed or an on-line enable (
[B], [B], [C]
from the
Main Menu) or disable (
[B], [B], [A]
from the Main Menu) is performed.
X.3 Line Speed
is the data transmission rate in bits per second. Specify the line speed that matches (as
closely as possible) the configuration of the device connected to the port.
Selecting this item displays a list of valid line speeds. To specify a speed, press the
letter corresponding to the speeds. Valid speeds are:
50 75 75/1200 100 110
134.5 150 200 300 600
1200 1800 2400 4800 9600
19.2K 38.4K 57.6K Autobaud
Selecting
Autobaud
causes the line speed to be read from the first trans-
mission from the async device, then set automatically.
Initial Profile Name
is an async PAD profile (described on page 10-2) that will be in effect on this port until
the user of the async device logs into the PAD, at which time the profile in the PAD
Logins record (described on page 10-7) becomes effective. (If
N
is selected in the Port
record for
Login Required
, the profile in the Port record is always in effect.) If the spec-
ified profile is not defined in the database, the default profile,
90
, will be in effect.
