Blocked Port Flag
causes the port to be enabled (
N
) or disabled (
Y
) at node IPL. The port will remain in
that state until this parameter is changed (and sent to the node) or an on-line enable/
disable is performed. (See "
Disabling and Enabling Ports" on page 18-1.)
Line Speed Code
specifies the data transmission rate in bits per second, and the clock speed when the
port is a physical DCE. If this port is not configured to generate clock, specify the line
speed that corresponds (as closely as possible) to the configuration of the device con-
nected to the port. Line speed codes are as follows. (Some speeds have two corre-
sponding codes because they are defined in different parts of the software. Either code
can be specified.)

The maximum for an RS-232 interface on an N7400 or 7500 is 19.2K. The
maximum for an RS-232 interface on an FRX8000 is 64K if the port is
directly connected to the user device via the 5-foot Cabletron RS-232
cable. If modems or longer cabling are used, the recommended maximum
speed is 19.2K. (The EIA RS-232 standard applies to line speeds of 19.2K
and lower.)
Maximum Frame Size
is the maximum frame size that will be allowed to pass through the port.
Logical DCE
Selecting
N
defines the port as logical DTE. The other end of the connection must be
the opposite of this port. Logical DCE/DTE is independent of physical—either can be
either. For frame relay ports, this parameter specifies the LMI role: network or user.
Generate Clock
If this port is a physical DCE (determined by the port’s I/O interface), specify
Y
, since
DCE generates clock. If the port is DTE, specify
N
.
Rcv Clock (TT) from DTE
allows the clock to be looped back from the DTE using the TT (Terminal Timing)
signal, which can be helpful on high-speed ports.
