Setting Physical Port Parameters

You can set individual parameters for a physical port. Once a physical port parameter has been set, ILMI will not override the parameter when the physical port is re-enabled.

You can set the following parameters for all physical ports:

payload scrambling

framing mode

transmit rate limit

You can set the following parameters only for physical DS3 ports:

cable length

mapping mode

loopback type

Tx clock source

Note: You must disable the physical port before you can change, clear or reset any physical port parameters. For more information about how to disable a physical port, see Disabling a Physical Port on page 49.
