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.

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 the Frame Relay button on the MultiFRAD Setup 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 MultiFRAD Setup menu.
