Guidelines

This section presents specific configuration guidelines for the selection of parameter values. You may also wish to refer to Section 1-2, that provides a concise description of the ASMi-450 operating environment, including explanations for many of the relevant terms.

SYSTEM PARAMETER

See parameter definitions in Section 3-4.

CLK MASTER The selection can be made only at the unit configured as

	CNTR.
	∙ For connection to carrier lines, select EXT.
	∙ For a point-to-point application with stand-alone
	equipment at both link ends, you can also select INT.
	∙ For ASMi-450 with Ethernet interface, select INT.
ACTIVE TS	∙ For ASMi-450 models with DCE interface, the
	number of active time slots must be equal to the
	multiplier of the basic data rate (64 kbps) which
	yields the required user's data rate. The maximum
	number of active time slots depends on the
	ASMi-450 model:
	5￿	ASMi-450/768: 12 time slots
	5￿	ASMi-450/1152: 18 time slots
ETHERNET	Select the method used to handle the LAN traffic,
MODE	half-duplex (HALF_DUP) or full-duplex (FULL_DUP).
	This parameter appears only for ASMi-450 version with
	the Ethernet interface.
BRIDGING	Select FILTERED if you want to operate the E1 link as a
	remote bridge (the recommended method). To operate the
	link as a LAN extender (or repeater), select TRAN.

This parameter appears only for ASMi-450 version with the Ethernet interface.
