Chapter 2 - Configuring HDSL Parameters

Using Standard Mode

Standard mode is the default configuration for the HDSL operating mode. When standard mode is selected, only three HDSL rates (T1, E1, and 768) are available. You can select any of the three options for transceiver mode, however.

It is recommended that you leave the Transceiver Mode option set to Auto unless you require that a particular end of the HDSL connection be the Master or Slave.

Also, this value cannot be changed if the HDSL link is up.

Master initiates the HDSL link. The other Campus unit must be set to Slave or Auto.

Auto (default) automatically switches between Master and Slave until an HDSL link is established.

The Transceiver Mode option determines the hierarchy of the two Campus units when attempting to establish an HDSL link.
