Configuring Serial WAN (SWAN) Cards
(MAX TNT, DSLTNT)
Introduction to SWAN
The Serial WAN (SWAN) card, has four V.35 serial ports, which can be used for nailed Frame
Relay connections. This card can support up to 120 Frame Relay virtual circuits. A serial WAN
port provides a V.35/RS-449 WAN interface that is typically used for connecting to a Frame
Relay switch. The clock speed received from the link determines the serial WAN data rate. The
maximum acceptable speed is 8 Mbps. The clock speed at the serial WAN port has no effect on
the bandwidth of other WAN interfaces in the MAX TNT or DSLTNT unit.
Overview of SWAN configuration
Table 12-1 lists the sections describing common tasks you might have to perform to configure
a SWAN line. The table includes a brief description of each task and lists the parameters you
will use.
