Suggested for AppleTalk

You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values. You may also want to use more meaningful zone names.

CV: Use the AppleTalk Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set keywords in the AppleTalk Phase 2 Ethernet 0 section.

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 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

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.
