All ports must be adjacent.
A digital-sharing group can have 2 ports.
Enab Select to enable the digital-sharing feature.
Disab Select to disable the digital-sharing feature.
Port Cntrl: DSD for MPTT; Host for all other configurations

Option Verification: When the TDM/Flex is enabled, the DSU verifies that the sum of the port speeds equals the
aggregate speed. The asynchronous setting
cannot
be specified as underspeed.
Enab Select to configure the port as asynchronous (asynchronous-to-synchronous conversion takes place).
Disab Select to configure the port as synchronous.
