Configuring Async Ports
Introduction
The integral Async PAD function in the SmartSwitch 1800 allows asynchronous
devices to connect to a frame relay or X.25 network.
Required Configuration
To run a port as an integral async PAD in a SmartSwitch 1800, make sure the fol-
lowing are properly configured:
●
(Chapter 4). This is general configuration that must be done
no matter which protocols will be run in the node.
●
(page 12-2), which define the operation of the attached
devices.
●
(page 12-7), which define passwords to be used when logging
into the SmartSwitch.
●
(Chapter 5): Async, plus frame relay or X.25.
●
(page 12-8), plus
(Chapter 7) or
port(s) that will connect to the user device(s) and network.
●
(page 12-15), which identifiy user devices to each other and the
SmartSwitch.
●
(page 12-17), if desired. This feature (described later in
this chapter) allows short "nicknames" to be assigned to subscriber addresses, to
ease entry of addresses.
●
(page 12-18), which create "permanent" connections between
two ports in the node. A PVC can be created between two async ports or
between an async port and an X.25 port.
