NOTE
When changing from one protocol to another on a WPIM-RT1
that has been operational, save NONE as the protocol before
changing to another protocol.
NOTE
The value assigned to the timeslots is the interface being used
for WAN communication. The next available interface is
displayed on the WAN Physical Configuration screen in the
Next IF field (see Figure 3-1). The Next IF number shown must
be used to add a new interface. The Next IF will increment as
interfaces are added. The previously entered interfaces can be
modified by entering the interface number.
