Synchronous Data Port Options (5 of 7)
IP Address
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the internet protocol address needed to access the EDL.
IP Address does not appear if EDL Management Link is set to Disable.
000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Enter the IP address for the EDL. The first digit
(i.e.,
xxx.255.255.255) cannot be 0 or 127, or greater than 223. However,
000.000.000.000 is valid, representing a null address.
Clear – Clears the IP address and fills the address with zeros (i.e., 000.000.000.000).
Subnet Mask
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the subnet mask for the EDL.
Subnet Mask does not appear if EDL Management Link is set to Disable.
000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Enter the subnet mask for the EDL. Subnet Mask
is based on the class of the IP address: Class A: 255.000.000.000,
Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000.
Clear – Clears the subnet mask and fills the field with zeros (i.e., 000.000.000.000).
Routing Information Protocol
Possible Settings: None, Proprietary
Default Setting: Proprietary
Specifies which routing information protocol (RIP) is used to enable routing of
management between devices.
Routing Information Protocol does not appear if:
– EDL is set to Disable.
– EDL Management Link is set to Disable.
– Management Link is set to FDL.
None – Does not use routing information protocol. Use this setting when the device at
the other end of the management link cannot accept routing information.
Proprietary – Uses a proprietary variant of RIP version 1 to communicate routing
information between devices.
