Chapter 5 Managing Physical Ports

Specifying a cable length for a DS3 port

You can specify the coaxial (BNC) cable length for a DS3 port. The coaxial cable length is up to these numbers in feet:

225: 0-225 feet, 0-68 meters.

450: 225-450 feet, 68-137 meters.

The default cable length is 225 (i.e. 0-225 feet).

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.

To configure the coaxial cable length for a DS3 port, use the pport set length command.

Command:

M4-DS3s8:/>pport set length <<slot>.<port>> [225450]

Example:

M4-DS3s8:/>pport set length 8.1 225

Parameters:

<pport id>

The physical port identifier in the form <slot>.<port number>.

 

225

Sets the allowable coaxial cable length to:

 

 

0-225 feet, 0-68 meters.

 

450

Sets the allowable coaxial cable length to:

 

 

225-450 feet, 68-137 meters.

Specifying a mapping mode for a DS3 port

You can specify for a DS3 port the mapping mode used for the transport of ATM cells over DS3. The mapping mode is either ADM or PLCP. The default mapping mode is ADM.

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.

To set the mapping mode for a DS3 port, use the pport set mapping command.

Command:

M4-DS3s8:/>pport set

mapping

<<slot>.<port>> [adm plcp]

Example:

M4-DS3s8:/>pport set

mapping

8.2 plcp

Parameters:

<pport id>

The physical port identifier in the form <slot>.<port.number>.

 

adm

Sets the mapping mode to ADM. The default setting is ADM.

 

plcp

Sets the mapping mode to PLCP.
