numbers you wish to configure) section. Use configure and set the Enabled, Area, and Node keywords in the DECnet Global section.

ϖNote: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally. In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.

Suggested for DECnet

Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.

WAN Interface Configuration

In order to use the WAN interface, you may want to set some physical parameters. Then set up the link and protocol parameters.

Internal DS3 CSU/DSU Physical Communications Settings

Required for Dedicated Line Operation

No changes from the default values are required for standard operation over a DS3 line. The default values are listed in Chapter 3.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation

Changing to a different Line Build Out may be required. These parameters can only be set using the command line interface.

TB: Use configure and the DS3 Interface WAN 0 section.

PPP Configuration

This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point) protocol operation of the DS3 WAN interface.

Internal DS3 CSU/DSU Link Configuration

Required for Dedicated Line Operation

This is the only mode of operation supported via the built-in DS3 CSU/DSU.

Set Dedicated connection

Set PPP connection

CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config

WAN 0 section.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation

Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.

IP Protocol

Required for IP

WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address. They are set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this mode of operation, there are no required settings.

Suggested for IP

These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.

Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or BGP (Border Gateway
