4-18
Parameter: Sync Priority
Default: 1
Range: 1 to 50
Function: Used by dial or switched services to assign priority to lines within the
same demand or backup pool. For example, the router uses a line of
priority 1 before it uses a line of priority 2.
Instructions: Assign a priority number to each line in the backup pool. The lower the
number, the higher the priority.

Point-to-Point Addresses
According to convention, one end of a point-to-point circuit is designated DCE
and is assigned an address of 01; the other end of the circuit is designated DTE
and is assigned an address of 03.
Conventional addressing, however, is inadequate in the case of multiple
communication channels enabled by a common satellite link (F
igure 4-2). As
illustrated in F
igure 4-2, a common satellite relay link provides a virtual
point-to-point link between routers A and X, B and Y, and C and Z.
Conventional addressing designates routers A, B, and C as DCE (address = 01)
and routers X, Y, and Z as DTE (address = 03). If router A transmits a frame
across the virtual point-to-point circuit to X, X (the intended recipient), Y, and Z
all monitor the satellite broadcast. Because X, Y, and Z all perceive a properly
addressed frame, all three accept delivery and attempt to process the frame
contents, with unpredictable results.
