10 CONFIGURING WAN INTERFACEThis chapter contains information on the following topics:■ WAN Interface Introduction■ Asynchronous Serial Interface■ AUX Interface■ Synchronous Serial Interface■ ISDN BRI Interface■ CE1/PRI Interface■ CT1/PRI Interface■ E1-F Interface■ T1-F Interface■ CE3 Interface■ CT3 InterfaceWAN InterfaceIntroductionThe wide area network (WAN) can be divided into X.25 network, frame relaynetwork, ATM network and ISDN network according to the line type. Accordingly,the router has synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, ATM interface, ISDN BRIand CE1/PRI.Presently, the 3Com Router-supported WAN interfaces include asynchronous serialinterface, AUX interface, synchronous serial interface, ISDN BRI interface CE1/PRIinterfaces, CT3, CT1/PRI interface, E1-F interface, T1-F interface, CE3 interface.Asynchronous SerialInterfaceThere are two asynchronous serial interfaces in the 3Com Router. One is Serial,which sets the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface to work in asynchronousmode. The other is Async, a special asynchronous serial interface.You can set asynchronous serial interface to dedicated line mode or dialup mode.When the asynchronous serial interface is connected with Modem or ISDNterminal adapter (TA) externally, it can serve as a dialup interface, encapsulatinglink layer protocol SLIP or PPP, and supporting IP and IPX.Configure AsynchronousSerial InterfaceAsynchronous serial interface configuration includes:■ Set the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface to work in asynchronousmode■ Enter the view of specified asynchronous serial interface
