CONTrol

Syntax

For all NETBuilder systems except SuperStack II NETBuilder bridge/routers

SETDefault !<path> -PAth CONTrol = ([Enabled | Disabled], [ItcmCompatible | NoItcmCompatible], [T1Mode | NoT1Mode], [Crypto | NoCrypto], [CRC32 | CRC16])
SHow [!<path> | !*] -PAth CONTrol
SHowDefault [!<path> | !*] -PAth CONTrol

For SuperStack II NETBuilder bridge/routers

SETDefault !<connectorID.channelID> -PAth CONTrol = ([Enabled | Disabled], [Crypto | NoCrypto], [CRC32 | CRC16])
SHow [!<connectorID.channelID> | !<connectorID>.*] -PAth CONTrol
SHowDefault [!<connectorID.channelID> | !<connectorID>.*] -PAth CONTrol

Default

NoItcmCompatible, NoT1Mode, NoCrypto

All paths are enabled; CRC is set to 16 bit

Description

The CONTrol parameter enables or disables a path on the bridge/router. By disabling and enabling the path, all the values associated with the CONTrol parameter take effect.

Values

Enabled | Disabled

Enables or disables a path. Enabled and Disabled are the only options available for WAN Extender virtual paths.

ItcmCompatible | NoItcmCompatible

The ItcmCompatible value should be enabled if your bridge/router is attached through a serial link to a Series/1-based bridge or bridge/router (IB/3, BR/3) that contains an Integrated T1 Controller Module (ITCM) board. For example, enable the ItcmCompatible option if a path on your bridge/router is attached to an ITCM board path on a Series/1 device.

T1Mode | NoT1Mode

This value applies only to leased lines. It does not apply to switched lines such as Frame Relay, X.25, or SMDS.

When some digital service units (DSUs) are configured for 1.544 Mbps, the one's density of the line is not ensured. In this situation, you can set this parameter to the T1Mode option so that the system ensures the one's density of the line. Do not select T1Mode and ItcmCompatible at the same time. If you do, change the setting from T1Mode to NoT1Mode. If the line goes down, you must disable and then enable the path or reset the bridge/router and the Series/1- based bridge or bridge/router at the same time to recover the line.

Crypto | NoCrypto

The Crypto value causes the system to attempt to resynchronize with attached KG81/94 devices. This value applies only to the RS-449 interface of a wide area bridge/router. Although an RS-449 interface is used between a NETBuilder II bridge/router and a WAN Extender, only the Enabled and Disabled options are available for WAN Extender virtual paths.

CRC16 | CRC32

CRC16 is a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) that is used on serial lines. If you set the CONTrol parameter to CRC32, a 32-bit CRC is used. Both ends of the path need to have the same CRC value settings. The SMDS Protocol requires the CRC value where the CRC between the router and DSU is optionally set to 16/32. 32-bit CRC is an option on SMDS ports.
