76CHAPTER 6: BASIC CONFIGURATION OF PORTS AND PATHS

before you connect it to the SuperStack II bridge/router. See the documentation that came with your TA for more information.

To configure the serial port with a DCE, follow these steps:

1The default baud rate for the serial port is 64 Kbps. If you need to change the baud rate, use:

SETDefault !<path> -PATH Baud = <kbps> (1.2-2048)

2The default device type is Modem. Specify the external device type attached to the Flex-WAN cable using:

SETDefault !<path> -PATH ExDevType = [Modem Bri Sw56]

3If you have changed any of the default settings, re-enable the path to make sure all settings on the path take effect using:

SETDefault !<path> -PATH CONTrol = Enabled

Configuring Serial This section describes how to configure the serial ports when connecting

Ports with DTEs directly to IBM legacy equipment.

Before beginning this procedure, complete the following tasks:

Attach the Flex-WAN cable to the serial port and the DTE.

Log on to the system with Network Manager privilege.

The Flex-WAN serial port automatically detects the following settings:

Line type — leased

Clock — internal

Connector type RS-232, V.35, X.21, or RS-449

To configure the serial port with a DTE, follow these steps:

1The default baud rate for the serial port is 64 Kbps. If you need to change the baud rate, use:

SETDefault !<path> -PATH Baud = <kbps> (1.2-2048)

2Set the owner of the serial port using:

SETDefault !<port> -PORT OWNer = BSC ATUN SHDLC SDLC

See Using Enterprise OS Software for more information about IBM legacy protocols.
