Physical
The network data port physical interface acts as a DTE. The network interface
automatically detects the rate offered by the external NTU, CSU/DSU, or inverse
multiplexer.
Table 4-5. Network Data Port Physical Interface Options (1 of 2)
Port Type
Possible Settings: E530, V.35, X.21
Default Setting: V.35
Selects the type of port to be used for the network data port.
Display Conditions
– This option does not appear for Model 9820-45M, for which the
port type is HSSI.
E530 – The port is configured as an EIA-530-A-compatible DTE. An EIA-530 compatible
DCE can be directly connected to the DB25 connector for this port on the rear of the
FrameSaver unit.
V.35 – The port is configured as a V.35-compatible DTE. A V.35-compatible DCE can be
connected to the DB25 connector for this port using an adapter cable on the rear of the
FrameSaver unit.
X.21 – The port is configured as a V.11/X.21-compatible DTE. A V.11/X.21-compatible
DCE can be connected to the DB25 connector for this port using an adapter cable on
the rear of the FrameSaver unit.
Invert Internal Clock
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Specifies whether the internal clock (used for timing data transmitted to the DCE) will be
phase-inverted with respect to the clock received at the interface. This option is useful
when long cable lengths between the FrameSaver device and the DCE are causing
errors.
Display Conditions
– This option does not appear for Model 9820-45M.
Enable – The internal clock used to transmit data to the DCE is phase inverted with
respect to the clock supplied by the DCE to this port.
Disable – The internal clock is not inverted (normal).
