CONFIGURING ALTERNATE ACCESSESOVERVIEWAn access defines the connection details the CyberSWITCH uses to reach the network. The defaultaccess is ISDN access, a switched-network access. Configurable accesses are required for dedicatednetwork connections, and for packet-switched network connections including X.25 and frame relayconnections. Refer to the following information for the alternate access you wish to add.D EDICATED A CCESSESCONFIGURING A DEDICATED ACCESSU SING CFGEDIT1. Select Access from the Physical Resources menu, then follow the onscreen instructions to add adedicated access.2. Select the line Id of the line you will use for this access.3. For BRI and PRI lines: select the bearer channels the access will use.4. For V.35 or RS232 resources, select the clocking type (internal or external clocking).5. For Internal clocking, select the access’ data rate.6. For External clocking, enter the Data Rate in bits per second.7. Select the line protocol. In almost all cases, select PPP. Select HDLC only if you are connectingto a device that uses HDLC over a dedicated access.8. Enter the device name tied to this access (optional for accesses using PPP protocol, mandatoryfor accesses using HDLC protocol).Note: Device authentication must be enabled for dedicated accesses to properly identify theremote device and provide switched backup and overflow to that device. Remote devicesusing a dedicated connection must use PPP for device authentication.
