Initially Configuring the POS Interface
You should configure the following properties for a newly installed POS 
•IP routing
•IP address
•Encapsulation type
•Clock source
You should also configure the following properties to match those of the interface at the other end:
•Keepalive messages
•Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
•Cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
•Scrambling
•Encapsulation type
