The Clock Source may be either Network or Internal. If you select Network (the default), the Netopia D-Series IDSL interface functions in customer premise equipment (CPE) mode. This mode is the normal mode for communicating with an ISP. If you select Internal, the Netopia D-Series functions in central office equipment (COE) mode, simulating a DSLAM. This allows for back-to-back short haul applications with another Netopia IDSL device operating in CPE mode.

A Data Rate pop-up item is available only if the clock source is Internal. This item allows you to set the data rate for the DSL link (and the attached CPE device).

A Bridge Mode Filter Set pop-up item allows you to select a filter set to make active on the IDSL or SDSL link. See “About filters and filter sets” on page 8-64for more information.

You can deactivate any previously selected filter set by selecting Remove Filter Set and pressing Return.

A Data Link Encapsulation pop-up item allows you to select an ecapsulation type for the link.
