Introduction to SWAN

The Serial WAN (SWAN) card, has four V.35 serial ports, which can be used for nailed Frame Relay connections. This card can support up to 120 Frame Relay virtual circuits. A serial WAN port provides a V.35/RS-449 WAN interface that is typically used for connecting to a Frame Relay switch. The clock speed received from the link determines the serial WAN data rate. The maximum acceptable speed is 8 Mbps. The clock speed at the serial WAN port has no effect on the bandwidth of other WAN interfaces in the MAX TNT or DSLTNT unit.

Overview of SWAN configuration

Table 12-1lists the sections describing common tasks you might have to perform to configure a SWAN line. The table includes a brief description of each task and lists the parameters you will use.
