In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
Suggested for DECnet
Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.
WAN Interface Configuration
The default setting for all WAN interfaces on your Octal V.35-10/100 RIOP is Off for all
protocols and for the link configuration. In order to use a WAN interface, you must first set
some physical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.

Physical Communications Settings
You may need to set the baud rate or other physical communications parameters for the WAN
interface. These parameters will depend on the line communications device you are using.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
IP Protocol
Required for IP
WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address. They are
set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this mode of operation, there are no required
settings.
