TB:  Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet WAN 0 section.
Note: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.  
In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
SMDS Configuration
This section covers the settings required for SMDS (Switched Multi-megabit Data Service) 
operation of the DS3 WAN interface (IP only).  SMDS is a connectionless, packet-switched 
service that offers LAN-to-LAN connectivity across a wide area at up to 1.544 Mbps.  SMDS 
addresses and other parameters can only be set using the command line interface. 
Note: The IP protocol settings and the physical communication settings are the same as they 
would be for Frame Relay operation. The only parameters which should be set differently for 
SMDS are the Link Configuration and the SMDS addressing section.
Link Configuration
SMDS is presently supported in the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP only via synchronous dedicated 
line operation.
Set Dedicated connection
Set SMDS connection
TB:  Use configure to set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 
section.
Suggested for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
SMDS Addressing
Many of these parameters will be given to you by your service provider.
TB:  Use configure and set the StationAddressIPMulticast and PollingFrequency 
keywords in the SMDS  WAN 0 section.
Saving a Configuration File to Flash ROM
Once a configuration is complete, you can save it to the router’s Flash ROM. Until saved, all 
changes are made in a separate buffer and the actual router interfaces continue to run as before 
the changes were made.
CV:  Use the Save to/Device option from the File menu.
TB:  Use the save command.
