Configuring Physical Interfaces
The network and data port interfaces support three different port types: EIA-530-A, V.35
and X.21. If your application does not use V.35 interfaces, then the port type needs to be
changed. If the Hardware Bypass feature will be used, both the network and user port
interfaces should use the same type of interface. The port type is specified in the
physical configuration options.
