Est Conn If the physical link is over a DS1 interface, it is possible (except for ISDN signaling
links) for one switch to set up the entire connection (see Destination below). In this
case, the other switch will not initiate any part of the connection between the two
endpoints. Typically, when using a DS1 interface, the Enable field is y on both the
originating and terminating switches but only one link between the two switches will
have Est Conn set to y. The originating switch is defined as having Est Conn set to y.
Ext The extension of the associated local data module for this link.This field is similar to
the pre-R7 PI Ext field for the si model and the X.25 Extension field for the r model.
Type The type of connection — x.25, ethernet, or ppp. This field replaces the pre-R7
Protocol field.The type of connection — x.25, ethernet, or ppp.
Destination Number This field is similar to the pre-R7 Destination Digits field for the si model and the
Destination Number field for the r model. Displays the destination of the link. It does
not apply to Ethernet links.
DTE/DCE Applies to si-models only. It is administered on the Data Module screen — type
proc-intf for the si model and type x.25 for the r-mode. If one endpoint of a link is
DTE, then the other must be DCE, and vice versa. The assignments must be
coordinated on a network-wide level. Endpoint Switch Links are generally DTE and
Tandem links are generally DCE. If both endpoints are of the same type (that is,
endpoints or tandem), then the assignment of which is DTE and which is DCE is
arbitrary. Typically, when using a DS1 interface, the originating switch should be
administered as DTE and the terminating switch as DCE.
Conn Mod. This field is similar to the pre-R7 Connected Data Module field. It is administered on
the Data Module screen — type proc-intf for the si model and type x.25 for the r
model.
Name Used for identification purposes only. It is administered on the Data Module screen.
This field is similar to the pre-R7 Identification field.
Valid entries Usage
y The System is responsible for any part of the call setup
required for the link between the System and the far-end data
module. Should be y if the link is to be used for ISDN
signaling.
n The System is not responsible for any part of the call setup.
