Note: Depending upon your product type, this dialog may vary. This help context covers all possible configuration parameters. If your dialog does not contain certain parameters, they don't apply to the product you are configuring.
-
NAU Name
-

Range: Up to 8 characters (A-Z, 0-9, @, #, or $)
-
Speed

-
Range: 4 or 16 Mbps

-
Some un`its enable you to set this speed via a hardware switch.
-
MAC Address
-
This parameter defines the LAN port's MAC address. You may use the burned-in address, however, it is not recommended if the unit is configured to answer calls.
-
Configuring your own MAC address enables you to swap the unit in the event of a failure without having to reconfigure downstream devices with the new destination MAC address.

Transmits signals to the remote Host through a single route. The remote Host responds with an all-routes broadcast frame. Select this option if the destination route has a specified DLCI.
-
Ring Number
-
This value defines the ring number of the LAN to which the unit connects. Bridges and routers attached to this ring must be configured with the same ring number.
-
Range: 001 -- FFF
-
Do not use ring numbers 1 -- 3, they are reserved for factory-fresh units.
-
Bridge Number
-
A unit attached to a Token Ring LAN represents a bridge between the physical LAN and the frame relay network's virtual ring. You must assign a unique bridge number to the physical ring.
-
Range: 1 -- 8
-
LLC Parameters

These parameters enable you to fine-tune your unit's performance.
-
