Chapter 5 Configuring the PA-8T-232 Interfaces
Configuring the EIA/TIA-232 Interfaces
Set a nonstandard clock rate for an interface using the clock rate subcommand. Before you can assign
a nonstandard clock rate, you must use the interface serial command (followed by the interface address
of the interface) to select the interface to which you want to assign the nonstandard clock rate value.
In the following example, a nonstandard clock rate of 1234567 bps is specified:
Router(config-if)# clock rate 1234567
The preceding command example applies to all systems in which the PA-8T-232 is supported. Use the
no clock rate command to remove the clock rate.
When you are done, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit
to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt. Then write the new
configuration to NVRAM using the copy running-config startup-config command.
The following example shows how to use the show running-config command to determine the exact
clock rate to which the nonstandard clock rate was rounded:
Router# show running-config
Building configuration...
...
!
interface Serial1/0 (interface Serial3/1/0 on a VIP2 or FlexWAN module)
no ip address
clockrate 1151526
!
...
In the preceding example, only the relevant output from the show running-config command is shown;
other information is omitted.
