Data Module Screens

The Data Module screen must be administered at both ends of a DCS connection, except for ISDN connections. There are two types of data modules used with TCP/IP connections — ppp and ethernet. There are two types of data modules used with BX.25 connections — the proc-intfdata module is used for the csi and si models, and the x.25 data module is used with the r model. The pdm data module is needed when the r model is connected to an si model via x.25.

The fields that are common to two or more of the data module types are described first, followed by the screen pictures and descriptions of the fields that are unique for a given data module type.

Common Data Module Fields

The following fields are common to two or more of data module types.

Data Extension	Extension number for this data module.
	Valid Entries	Data Module	Usage
		Types
	A 1- to 5-digit	ppp	The data extension is entered on the
	number consistent	ethernet	command line. If next is entered on the
	with the Dial Plan	procr-intf	command instead of an extension
		x.25	number, the system assigns the next
		pdm	available extension number.

Type	The data module type, which determines the connection type.
	Valid Entries	Data	Usage
