Line configuration for a DDS line
The DDS Line Configuration screen is where you enter the
configuration parameters for your leased line, in order for the
Netopia Router to communicate with the physical connection. Use
the information in the Leased Line worksheet in the Getting Started
Guide as a reference when specifying your DDS line configuration
information.

1. Select Circuit Type and press Return. From the pop-up menu,
highlight Switched for a dial-up digital line or Permanent for a
nailed-up leased line. The default setting is Permanent. Press
Return.
Note: The DDS data rate is capable of handling 56 or 64 kbps.
If the Switched circuit type is selected, 56 kbps data rate is the
only available option. If the Permanent circuit type is selected,
56 kbps and 64 kbps data rates will be available.
2. Select Data Rate and press Return. From the pop-up menu,
highlight the data rate that you want your DDS line connection
to transmit at. The data rate choices are 56 kbps and 64 kbps.
The default is Automatic. Press Return.
Note: As noted above, DDS Netopia Routers may run 56 kbps
or 64 kbps data rates on permanent circuits. You may
alternately select Automatic, in which case the router will hunt
between modes until it can determine what the telephone
company has provisioned your DDS line for.
