Type This parameter selects the type of interface (based on its electrical signal
characteristics) used by the equipment connected to the Serial port.
Values: V.35, RS-232, EIA-530, X.21
Default: V.35
NOTICE: V.35 requires the use of an optional cable. Refer to Optional Equipment
on page A-7 for ordering information.
Mode By default, the Serial port serves as a DCE port. However, the Serial port can
serve as a DTE port when the unit is in Packet mode.
If the Serial port connects to a DTE device (such as a FRAD or a router), the
Mode parameter must be set to “DCE.” If this port connects to a DCE device
(such as a DSU/CSU), this parameter must be set to “DTE” (valid only for
Packet mode, not TDM).
Values: DCE, DTE
Default: DCE
NOTICE: DTE mode requires the use of an optional DTE cable. Refer to Optional
Equipment on page A-7 for ordering information.

desired port speed (in bits per second). In TDM mode, the port speed rate will
