Configuring a Port for a Dedicated Connection
You can configure an asynchronous port for a permanent network connection (also
known as a hardwired connection). Hardwired connections require no modem dialing
or authentication protocol and are designed for connections to modems configured for
leased line service, asynchronous-to-synchronous converters, or Frame Relay
asynchronous devices (FRADs). Hardwired connections can use SLIP or PPP with IP and
IPX.
Note – This type of configuration creates a continuous uninterrupted connection on
this port. If the port is configured for a hardwired connection, it cannot be used for any
other purpose.
Figure 5-6 illustrates an example of a hardwired connection.

Hardwired Port Configuration
Hardwired connections on asynchronous ports provide the continuous connection
advantage of a synchronous port at lower bandwidth, but without the cost of T1 line
connection.
