Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.
WAN Interface Configuration
In order to use the WAN interface, you may want to set some physical parameters. Then set up
the link and protocol parameters.
Internal DS3 CSU/DSU Physical Communications Settings
Required for Dedicated Line Operation
No changes from the default values are required for standard operation over a DS3 line. The
default values are listed in Chapter 3.
Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Changing to a different Line Build Out may be required. These parameters can only be set
using the command line interface.
TB: Use configure and the DS3 Interface WAN 0 section.
PPP Configuration
This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point) protocol operation of the DS3
WAN interface.
Internal DS3 CSU/DSU Link Configuration
Required for Dedicated Line Operation
This is the only mode of operation supported via the built-in DS3 CSU/DSU.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
IP Protocol

set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this mode of operation, there are no required
settings.
Suggested for IP
These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to.
With this information, routing can take place.
