HDSL/Channel Rate

Write security: 2; Read security: 5

Determines the rate at which data is transferred over the HDSL link.
Possible rates are 128K, 192K, 256K, 320K, 384K, 448K, 512K, 576K,
640K, 704K, 768K, and AUTO. AUTO is selected if the rate is to be de-
termined automatically.

HDSL/NEBEs

Read security: 5

This contains the number of Near-End-Block-Errors (NEBEs) that
have been detected by the Express L768’s HDSL circuitry. Continuous
errors can indicate a line problem, but a burst at one time is normal.

HDSL/FEBEs

Read security: 5

This contains the number of Far-End-Block-Errors (FEBEs) that have
been detected by the HDSL circuitry on the other end of the link. Con-
tinuous errors can indicate a line problem, but a burst at one time is
normal.

»» WAN/L2 Protocol

Write security: 3, Read security: 5

This parameter specifies the layer 2 data link layer transport used.
When selected as

PPP

, the Express L768 will negotiate PPP over the

HDSL interface. This is used mainly for campus wiring applications.
Parameters for controlling the PPP negotiation are in the

Configura-

tion/PPP Profile

menu.

Frame Relay

should be selected when the

Express L768 is connected to a Frame Relay switch. The

Configura-

tion/WAN/Frame Relay

menu is used for controlling the Frame Relay

parameters. When

Auto Detect

(def) is selected, the Express L768 will

look at the incoming packets in order to determine what layer 2 pro-
tocol to use.
