Framing Interface

The framing interface defines the encapsulation method used for ATM cells as they are sent onto the wire. The default framing interface is SONET, but the SunATM software also supports the SDH interface. Your switch product information should indicate whether your switch uses either the SONET or the SDH interface. If the switch uses the SDH interface, you will need to select SDH from the physical parameter group menu.
