Dial Backup for

Received Data Errors

Application

In this application, the router controls backup of one drop on the Frame Relay or DDS network. When the router detects data errors, it raises DTR on its secondary port (which is connected to the DSU's EIA-232-D/V.24 interface), and lowers DTR when the DDS line is restored. The DSU monitors the DTR lead on its EIA-232 interface; it initiates backup when DTR is raised and drops backup when DTR is lowered.

Automatic DDS line restoration is supported using this configuration as long as the router's secondary port is configured for backup when data errors are received, and there is a DualFlow DSU at both the control and tributary sites. Figure E-1 shows an example of this application.

Select the Synchronous Backup for either a control or tributary (SyBC or SyBT) configuration from the preset configurations provided by the Configuration (Confg) branch, depending upon which DSU you are configuring.

User data travels through the DSU's V.35 interface and backup data travels through the DSU's EIA-232-D/V.24 interface. The DSU's V.35 interface is connected to the router's primary or active serial port, while the EIA-232 interface is connected to the router's secondary serial port.

If your DualFlow DSU is equipped with a Switched 56 DBM, the DSU must be close to the router. The EIA-232 cable length cannot exceed 34 feet using shielded cable or 68 feet using unshielded cable if backup is to be supported.
