WAN Port Setup
The WAN Port Setup dialog box controls how the port is configured (i.e., for frame relay or point-to-
point operation). If the WAN port is configured for frame relay, then the mode of the port is set to
Synchronous. If the port is configured for point-to-point, then the mode can be either synchronous or
asynchronous. If the mode is asynchronous, then the connection method can be either answering or
dialing. If the connection method is dialing, then a number to be dialed has to be entered in the dial
number field and the modem type chosen in this field. Modem type must be chosen whether the
connection mode is Answering or Dialing.
If the Frame Relay Device Driver is enabled, the MultiFRAD encapsulates data on its composite link
for transmission over a frame relay network. Enabling this device driver requires additional frame
relay configuration by clicking Frame Relay on the MF200 main menu.
If the PPP/SLIP device driver is enabled, the MultiFRAD is configured for point-to-point operation for
transferring packets between two end points. Devices at the end points can be either asynchronous
or synchronous. If an asynchronous device is used, the MultiFRAD can be used as a single port
remote access server. When the PPP/SLIP mode is used, further configuration is required using the
PPP button on the MF200 main menu.
Note: The FR220 and FR220/V2MultiFRADs do not use the DSU functions (Loop Back and Clocking,
shown as inactive) on this screen.
