Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide 27
SMDS Configuration
This section covers the settings required for SMDS (Switched
Multi-megabit Data Service) operation of the MicroRouter 1220i WAN
0 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.
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 MicroRouter only via dedicated
line operation.

ROM. Until saved, all changes are made in a separate buffer and the
actual router interfaces run as before the changes were made.
CV: Use the Save to/Device option from the File menu.
TB: Use the save command.
