Configurethe WAN Port
Note – Be sure to reset the WAN port or reboot the router after making changes to the WAN port configuration. To reboot, enter the reboot command or press the reboot button on the INA module.
Set the Channel Rate
Almost all data channels have a channel rate of 64Kbs, the default value assigned by ComOS. However, if the channel rate is 56kbs, you must set the channel rate to that value.
Cgroup is the defined channel group number. ComOS initially assigns all INA module data channels to group 1. If you set up additional WAN ports, you must issue this command for each of the channel groups you have set up.
Use the following commands to set the channel rate:
Command> set line0 group Cgroup 56K64k
Command> save all
Set Up Additional WAN Ports
To set up additional WAN ports use the following commands:
Command> set line0 group Cgroup channels Channel-list
Command> save all
For example, suppose you had a PRI line with channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 assigned to your ISP and channels 9 and 10 assigned to a connection to a branch office. Initially, channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, and 10 are all assigned to W0 by ComOS. To create a new WAN port, you must enter the following commands:
Command> set line0 group 2 channels 9 10
Command> save all
Command> reboot
As a result, WAN port W0 is assigned to channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 and WAN port W8 is assigned to channels 9 and 10.
You must then configure W8 with the desired protocol, IP address, netmask, and related settings. Be sure to set the correct channel rate for the new group, if necessary, with the set line0 command.
Set the Port IP Address (Optional)
You can set the local IP address of the W0 port to create an interface with a IP address.
You can use any IP address. If you set the local address of the WAN port to 0.0.0.0 for PPP, the INA module uses the Ether0 address for the end of the serial link. If you set the WAN port address to 0.0.0.0 for a Frame Relay connection, the port is disabled.
Use the following commands to set the IP address:
