Rate
Selects the network interface line rate. The available line rates are 2.4, 4.8, 9.6,
19.2, 38.4, 56, and 64 kbps.
Data Mode
The unit can operate in two general modes. The DDS standard mode
STANDARD provides complete compliance with industry DDS-I standards,
allowing the units to be end-to-end compatible and interoperate with other
vendors DDS compliant DSUs. For a wider variety of applications, the unit can
operate in the TxPORT proprietary mode. In this mode, TxPORT equipment must
be located on both ends.
The DDS standard operating mode matches the DTE rate to the line rate. In this
mode, the DTE interface operates synchronously at the selected line rate. These
selections are shown as STD in Table 3-1.
The TxPORT proprietary mode is used to support asynchronous DTE data, rate
adaptation of subrate DTE data onto 56 or 64 kbps lines, and provide an
end-to-end communications channel between DDS units. The specific DTE
data/loop rate combinations are shown as TXP in Table 3-1.
