DECnet Protocol

Required for DECnet

The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.

Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port)

Set DECnet area

Set DECnet node

CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet: Ethernet Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet Ethernet 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Use configure and set the Enabled, Area, and Node keywords in the DECnet Global section.

ϖNote: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally. In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.

Suggested for DECnet

Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.

WAN Interface Configuration

The default setting for all WAN interfaces on your Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP is Off for all protocols and for the link configuration. In order to use a WAN interface, you must first set some physical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.

Physical Communications Settings

You may need to set the baud rate or other physical communications parameters for the WAN interface. These parameters will depend on the line communications device you are using.

CV: Use the Physical Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and the V.35 Interface WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section.

PPP Configuration

This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point) protocol operation of the V.35 WAN interfaces.

WAN Link Configuration

Required for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation

Dedicated line operation is the simplest to set up.

Set Dedicated connection

Set PPP connection

CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation

Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
