Introduction
The 3196RC T-DAC’s iDSL port subsystem comprises 16 iDSL ports for connection to external iDSL CPE
modems at a maximum speed of 144 kbps. Each iDSL port consists of an internal iDSL modem whose signals are
presented on a two-wire pair within the 50-pin RJ-21X connector on the T-DAC’s rear blade. Managing the T-
DAC’s iDSL ports involves defining the configurable iDSL port parameters, monitoring the iDSL port status and
statistics. The T-DAC also provides the capability for you to define and download configurable parameters to a
connected Patton remote CPE, such as the model 1082 or 1092A.
To display the iDSL Port Configuration window (see figure 65), on the Configuration Menu pane, click the
iDSL link.

The iDSL Port Configuration main window (see figure 65) provides the means for you to manage the iDSL
port subsystem on the 3196RC T-DAC. The page displays current status, statistics, and configurable parame-
ters for the iDSL ports. It provides the means to define the configurable parameters for each iDSL port and
provide information about the iDSL links to remote CPE iDSL. The status and statistics information is shown
in display-only fields. Configurable parameter values may be shown in display-only format or in user-definable
formats such as drop-down boxes or user-entry text fields, depending on port operating status, and the specific
page on which the parameter appears.
