WAN Settings

Set this parameter for the WAN configuration.

		Table 4-2. WAN Parameters
Parameters	Possible Values	Description
Link Status	Enable	Transmits and receives frames.
	Disable	Does not transmit or receive frames. The link may be permanently disabled, for
		example, when testing. A disabled line freezes all link operation, including
		connection attempts and forwarding.
	Backup	If a link is defined as backup to another, then whenever the main link operates
		normally, the backup link is disabled. If the main link fails, the backup link begins
		to operate and become enabled. You must make sure that the routing settings are
		correct so that traffic will be forwarded to the desired destination via the backup
		link. When you restore the main link connection, the backup link becomes
		disabled again.
		Default : Enable
Link Mode	Synchronous	Data bits are transmitted at a fixed rate. The sender and the receiver are
		synchronized
	Frame Relay	A packet-switching protocol for connecting devices on a WAN.
	Asynchronous	Data bits are transmitted at a fixed rate. The sender and the receiver are not
		synchronized.
Routing	IP, IPX, Bridge	Assigns the link forwarding type.
	Any combination
	of these link
