2. From Network Configuration Manager choose View > Wan.

3. Choose Hardware > Add new WAN device > Add new WAN device.

4. Choose the first line of your adapter type.

5. Choose Continue. Configure parameters and advanced options as required and then choose OK. For information on configuration fields, see the following tables:

#### DataFire PTE Configuration Fields:

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
D Channel Signaling | Specify the D channel protocol used by your service provider.
EQ gain | The default works for most sites. Change this value only if you encounter excessive CRC or line errors. Then change the value to see if this reduces the number of these errors.
Framing Format | Specify the framing format used by your network. Contact your telephone service provider for this information.
Line Encoding | Specify the line encoding scheme used by your network. Contact your telephone service provider for this information.
Modem Nationality | Specify the modem nationality used in this country.
Channelized T1 or PRI Signaling | Specify the type of switch used by your telephone service provider.
Jitter Attenuator | The jitter attenuator is designed to correct synchronization problems. Usually you can use the default. Change this parameter only if you experience excessive CRC or line errors. Auto means this adapter determines the most appropriate way to correct synchronization problems. Rx means that the receiver is responsible for correcting synchronization problems. Tx means that the transmitter is responsible for correcting synchronization problems. None means that the jitter attenuation is disabled.
Clock Source | Typically, use Loop, which means derive the clock from the network. Use Local only in test environments when two RAS PTE adapters are connected via cable. In this case, one adapter must specify Local and the other Loop. Never use MVIP; it is not supported.
Short Haul-Long Haul | Use one of the short haul values in the following instances: (1) A PBX terminates the ISDN line into the building. (2) The telephone company has installed a smart jack at your site that implements a short-haul interface. Choose the specific short haul value by determining the distance (in feet) to the nearest device that regenerates the electrical signal. For example, if the nearest regenerating device is 100 feet away, specify SH_0_133. If the device is 400 feet away, specify SH_399_533. Use one of the long haul values in either of the following instances: (1) The adapter terminates the line into the building. (2) The telephone company has installed a smart jack at your site with a long haul interface. Get the specific long haul value from your telephone company.
