CONFIGURING THE CAMPUS-REXAS A MASTER OR SLAVE UNIT

The Transceiver Mode option determines the hierarchy of the two Campus units when attempting to establish an HDSL link. There are three settings: Master, Slave and Auto. Master and Slave are available for all three HDSL Operating Mode settings. Auto Mode is only available for Standard and Extended Modes, and is not available for AutoSync Mode.

If a unit is set to Master, it initiates the HDSL link. The other Campus unit must be set to Slave or Auto.

If a unit is set to Slave, it waits for the other Campus unit to initiate the HDSL link. The other unit must be set to Master or Auto. Slave is the default setting for AutoSync HDSL Mode.

If a unit is set to Auto, it automatically switches between Master and Slave until an HDSL link is established. The setting of the other Campus unit is irrelevant. Auto is the default setting for Standard and Extended HDSL Modes.

Unless you have a compelling reason for doing otherwise, leaving the Transceiver Mode option set to Auto is recommended.
