Data Module Screens
The Data Module screen must be administered at both ends of a DCS connection, except for ISDN connections.
There are two types of data modules used with TCP/IP connections — ppp and ethernet. There are two types of
data modules used with BX.25 connections — the proc-intf data module is used for the csi and si models, and the
x.25 data module is used with the r model. The pdm data module is needed when the r model is connected to an si
model via x.25.
The fields that are common to two or more of the data module types are described first, followed by the screen
pictures and descriptions of the fields that are unique for a given data module type.
Common Data Module Fields
The following fields are common to two or more of data module types.
Data Extension
Extension number for this data module.
Valid Entries
A 1- to 5-digit
number consistent
with the Dial Plan
Data Module
Types
ppp
ethernet
procr-intf
x.25
pdm
Usage
The data extension is entered on the
command line. If next is entered on the
command instead of an extension
number, the system assigns the next
available extension number.
Type
The data module type, which determines the connection type.
Valid Entries
For TCP/IP connections:
ppp and ethernet.
For X.25 connections:
proc-intf (for the csi and si
models)
x.25 and pdm (for the r-model).

Usage
Enter the data module type that
is appropriate type for the
connection type and switch
model.
For an r-model connected to an
si-model via X.25, a pdm data
module needs to be
administered in addition to the
x.25 data module.
