Figure 7-3 Network Interface Configuration

NOTE: Network interfaces assigned to a group may require the same configuration for physical and link parameters. For example baud rate, DTE/DCE...etc

5)Card Type: Select the Emulex adapter type if not already displayed.

6)Interface Options: Press <Enter> to select Interface Options.

7)Interface Speed: Press <Enter> and select the line clocking rate (default is “External” for modem operation).

8)Interface Status: Displays the current status of the selected network interface (normally enabled).

NOTE: Use the Interface Status field to test a particular board configuration by disabling other boards, which prevents their respective drivers from loading.

9)Interface Group: Assigns this interface as a member of a collective group of WAN interfaces. WAN Call Destinations can then be assigned to the same collective interface groups. This enables protocols like IPX or IP to request an X.25 virtual circuit through any available interface within the group. The WAN interface actually used for the call is dynamically determined at the time the call is made.
