Configuring BSCI Ports

Generally, if the local interface is a physical DCE and the line speed is above 256 
Kbps, this parameter should be set to Yes; however, make sure the DTE is 
conÞgured to provide the terminal timing. The default value for this parameter is 
No

.

If Yes is selected, this parameter causes the virtual circuit to be cleared when no 
terminals are using it. The default value for this parameter is No.

You can designate your port as a TPAD (terminal PAD) or an HPAD (host PAD). 
The default value for this parameter is TPAD.

This parameter is conÞgurable only if PAD Type is HPAD. If you select Yes, this 
parameter will allow the HPAD to respond to all devices on the line. If you select 
No

, the HPAD will respond only to those devices that are conÞgured on the node. 

The default value for this parameter is Yes.

This parameter is conÞgurable only if PAD Type is TPAD. If you select Yes, this 
parameter will activate the TPAD connection without a poll of the connected 
device. If No is selected, the TPAD connection will only become activated when 
the connected device is polled. The default value for this parameter is Yes.

You can edit the values in any Þeld which provides a text box or menu button 
selection; to do so:

1.

To edit a text field, remove the existing value and enter the new value.

2.

To edit a field with a menu button, click on the button to display a list of 
options, then drag down to select the option you want.

3.

Click on 

 to save your changes.

After you have made any port-level conÞguration changes, your changes will not 
take effect until you have done an on-line update. To do so:

1.

Click mouse button 3 on the port you have been configuring to display the Port 
Menu. 

2.

Drag down to On-line Update and release.
