vThe set connect-timeout command specifies the number of seconds allowed for
a call to be established.
vThe set duplex command specifies the duplexing mode for the call.
vThe set encoding command sets the encoding for the call.
vWhen you have finished configuring the interface, you can use the list command
to display your configuration.
Adding Dial Circuits
Dial circuits are mapped to V.25bisserial line interfaces. You can map multiple dial
circuits to one serial line interface.
Toadd a dial circuit, use the add device dial-circuit command from the Config>
prompt. The software assigns an interface number to each circuit. Youwill use this
number to configure the dial circuit.
Example:
Config>add device dial-circuit
Adding device as interface 6
Note: Dial circuits default to the Point-to-Point protocol (PPP). Youcan also set the
dial circuit to use Frame Relay (FR) or SDLC.
Configuring Dial Circuits
This section describes how to configure a dial circuit. For a complete description of
the dial circuit commands, see “Chapter 47. Configuring and Monitoring Dial
Circuits” on page 643.
Note: If the encapsulator type is SDLC, the only dial circuit parameter that you can
set is the base net number.
Toconfigure the dial circuit, do the following:
1. Display the Circuit Config> prompt by entering the network command
followed by the interface number of the dial circuit. Youcan use the list
devices command at the Config> prompt to display a list of the dial circuits
that you added. For example:
Config>network 6
Circuit configuration
Circuit Config>
2. Map the dial circuit to a V.25bisinterface. The Base net is the V.25bis interface
number. For example:
Circuit Config>set net
Base net for this circuit [0]? 0
3. Specify the address name of the remote router to which the dial circuit will
connect. Youmust use one of the names you defined using the add
v25-bis-address command. For example:
Circuit Config>set destination
Assign destination address name []? newyork
4. Configure the dial circuit to initiate outbound calls only, accept inbound calls
only, or both initiate and accept calls.
Use the set calls command. Toavoid a conflict if both ends of the link attempt
to establish a call at the same time, configure the dial circuit at one end of the
link to accept inbound calls only, and configure the dial circuit at the other end
of the link to initiate outbound calls only. For example:
