Overview of Synchronous Services
Each synchronous interface:
• Connects a Nortel Networks router or switch to data communications
equipment (DCE) devices, such as DSUs, CSUs, and modems.
• Supports a range of physical connections, including V.35, X.21, RS-232, and
RS-449/422 balanced.
• Supports both leased and dial-up circuits. See Configuring Dial Services for
information about configuring dial-up circuits.
• Supports many WAN software services, including PPP, X.25, frame relay,
SMDS, HDLC encapsulation, and ATM DXI.
• Operates from 1200 b/s to a maximum of 2.048 Mb/s, full duplex.
You can configure synchronous interfaces to integrate IBM SDLC traffic in an
internetwork. Traffic is integrated by connecting local or remote IBM equipment
directly to the synchronous interface and configuring either DLSw for SDLC or
Transparent Sync Pass-Thru features.
Customizing Synchronous Services Using the BCC or
Site Manager
Table 2-1 lists the synchronous line configuration tasks described in this chapter
and indicates whether you can use the BCC or Site Manager to perform each task.
