Management. The WAN Physical Configuration screen and the WAN
Interface Configuration screen appear as Local Management menu
selections after you install the WPIM-DDS into a WAN module such as
the BRIM-W6 and then install the BRIM into a MIM or standalone hub.
Refer to the MIM or standalone hub User’s Guide for instructions about
how to set up and access Local Management.
Sections of this chapter include the following:
• The WAN Physical Configuration Screen 2.1
• The WAN Interface Configuration Screen 2.2
• WPIM-DDS Configuration 2.3

allows the WPIM-DDS to receive its timing information from the service
provider and the Local setting allows the WPIM-DDS to receive its
timing information internally. If DDS-CC is chosen for the DDS Line
Mode then this field must be set to Loop. The default setting is Loop.
DDS Loopback
Displays the internal Loopback as either Line or None. Line loopback is
reserved for network diagnostics only. The default is None.
DDS In-Speed
Informational purposes only. Displays 56000 (bps) for Primary DDS Line
