Other Networking-Related DEFINITY Screens

A Screens Reference

Est Conn

If the physical link is over a DS1 interface, it is possible (except for ISDN signaling

 

links) for one switch to set up the entire connection (see Destination below). In this

 

case, the other switch will not initiate any part of the connection between the two

 

endpoints. Typically, when using a DS1 interface, the Enable field is y on both the

 

originating and terminating switches but only one link between the two switches will

 

have Est Conn set to y. The originating switch is defined as having Est Conn set to y.

 

Valid entries

 

Usage

 

 

 

 

 

y

 

The System is responsible for any part of the call setup

 

 

 

required for the link between the System and the far-end data

 

 

 

module. Should be y if the link is to be used for ISDN

 

 

 

signaling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

n

 

The System is not responsible for any part of the call setup.

 

 

 

 

Ext

The extension of the associated local data module for this link.This field is similar to

 

the pre-R7 PI Ext field for the si model and the X.25 Extension field for the r model.

Type

The type of connection — x.25, ethernet, or ppp. This field replaces the pre-R7

 

Protocol field.The type of connection — x.25, ethernet, or ppp.

Destination Number

This field is similar to the pre-R7 Destination Digits field for the si model and the

 

Destination Number field for the r model. Displays the destination of the link. It does

 

not apply to Ethernet links.

 

DTE/DCE

Applies to si-models only. It is administered on the Data Module screen — type

 

proc-intf for the si model and type x.25 for the r-mode. If one endpoint of a link is

 

DTE, then the other must be DCE, and vice versa. The assignments must be

 

coordinated on a network-wide level. Endpoint Switch Links are generally DTE and

 

Tandem links are generally DCE. If both endpoints are of the same type (that is,

 

endpoints or tandem), then the assignment of which is DTE and which is DCE is

 

arbitrary. Typically, when using a DS1 interface, the originating switch should be

 

administered as DTE and the terminating switch as DCE.

 

Conn Mod.

This field is similar to the pre-R7 Connected Data Module field. It is administered on

 

the Data Module screen — type proc-intf for the si model and type x.25 for the r

 

model.

 

 

 

Name

Used for identification purposes only. It is administered on the Data Module screen.

 

This field is similar to the pre-R7 Identification field.
