WAN Configuration

Protocol

Displays the active Link Layer protocol. This field displays PPP (Point to Point), Frame Relay, or Other.

Compression

Indicates whether data compression is activated or de-activated.

NOTE

Data compression is not supported by the DELHW-UA at this time; therefore, compression will always be de-activated or “Off”.

MTU

Displays the MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) for this interface. The MTU is the largest packet size that can be transmitted on the selected interface.

Line Coding

Displays the line coding set for this interface. The field displays INV-HDLC, JBZS, or None. None (the default value) is displayed when the line coding being used on the interface is B8ZS.

CRC Length

The length of the CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) for this interface.

Changing WAN Logical Settings

To change the protocol setting from your WAN Logical View window:

1.In the WAN Logical View window’s list, click on the interface of interest, and the WAN Logical Settings window (Figure 7-2) will appear.
