Configuring Serial WAN (SWAN) Cards (MAX TNT, DSLTNT)
Making a profile the working profile
APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT Physical Interface Configuration Guide Preliminary May 9, 2000 12-3
Making a profile the working profile
When the TAOS unit detects that a SWAN card has been installed, it creates a default SWAN
profile for each of the lines on the card.
In the following example, the Dir command displays default SWAN line profiles created for a
card installed in slot 2:
admin> dir SWAN
305 12/11/1996 15:58:20 { shelf-1 slot-2 1 }
305 12/11/1996 15:58:20 { shelf-1 slot-2 2 }
305 12/11/1996 15:58:20 { shelf-1 slot-2 3 }
305 12/11/1996 15:58:20 { shelf-1 slot-2 4 }
By default, the line is not enabled, which means that it is not available for use. Its default
signaling method is inband, typically used for channelized connections.
To list the parameters in a SWAN profile, use the List command, as in the following example:
admin> list
name = ""
physical-address* = { any-shelf any-slot 0 }
enabled = no
line-config = { 0 0 static { any-shelf any-slot 0 } }
Following is an example of a SWAN profile, with its parameters set to sample values:
SWAN { shelf-N slot-N N }
name = 1:14:2
physical-address* = { shelf-1 slot-14 2 }
enabled = no
line-config
trunk-group = 0
nailed-group = 2
activation = static
call-route-info
shelf = any-shelf
slot = any-slot
item-number = 0
Activation
The Activation parameter tells the MAX which signals
control the data flow through the serial WAN port. The
DCE to which the serial WAN port is connected (for
example, a Frame Relay switch) determines how to set
the serial WAN port Activation value. Flow control is
always handled by the Clear To Send (CTS) signal.
Currently, the Activation parameter supports only one
value: Static.
