CONFIGURING THE CAMPUS-REX AS A MASTER
OR SLAVE UNIT
The Transceiver Mode option determines the hierarchy of the two Campus
units when attempting to establish an HDSL link. There are three settings:
Master, Slave and Auto. Master and Slave are available for all three HDSL
Operating Mode settings. Auto Mode is only available for Standard and
Extended Modes, and is not available for AutoSync Mode.
• If a unit is set to Master, it initiates the HDSL link. The other Campus
unit must be set to Slave or Auto.
• If a unit is set to Slave, it waits for the other Campus unit to initiate the
HDSL link. The other unit must be set to Master or Auto. Slave is the
default setting for AutoSync HDSL Mode.
• If a unit is set to Auto, it automatically switches between Master and
Slave until an HDSL link is established. The setting of the other Campus
unit is irrelevant. Auto is the default setting for Standard and Extended
HDSL Modes.
To change the Transceiver Mode:
1 Press Escape until CAMPUS RS I/F: REX displays.
2 Press Next. HDSL LINK CONFIG & STATUS displays.
3 Press Enter. OPERATING MODE displays.
4 Press Next. XCVR MODE displays.
5 Press Enter.
6 Press Next to scroll through the Transceiver Mode options until the
desired setting displays.
7 Press Enter to select the displayed setting. XCVR MODE displays.
Unless you have a compelling reason for doing otherwise,
leaving the Transceiver Mode option set to Auto is
recommended.
