Set Up the Campus-REX System

SET THE HDSL OPERATING MODE

The Campus-REX is set to operate in Standard Mode with a T1 (1.544 Mbps) HDSL Rate. This is compatible with other Campus-RS products and with Campus-T1 Desktop Units and Line Units. If this is the desired setting for your system, proceed to “Configure the Campus-REX as a Bridge or Router” on page 3-19. Otherwise, follow the steps in this section to adjust the HDSL transmission rate.

There are two ways to configure the HDSL line:

•To use the LCD menus, see “Using the LCD,” below.

•To use an ASCII Terminal, see “Using an ASCII Terminal” on page 3-11.

Changes to the HDSL operating mode or transmission rate are not automatically made to the remote unit. These changes must be made at both the local and remote units for the HDSL link to be re-established. If the remote unit is not easily accessible, you can follow the instructions in “Logging Onto a Remote Campus Unit” on page 5-3to use an ASCII terminal to perform a remote logon (if an HDSL link is up) and make the desired change. When you change the HDSL settings for the remote unit, the HDSL link is lost; it is re-established when you make the identical change(s) to the local unit.
