Configuring Direct-Connect and
Satellite-Connect Lines
The direct-connect line-handler process implements the High-Level Data Link Control
(HDLC) Normal protocol and operates with conventional voice-grade leased-line and
switched-line facilities, private facilities, and fractional Transmission Group 1 (T1)
facilities. The satellite-connect line-handler process implements the satellite-efficient
version of the HDLC protocol, HDLC Extended mode.
A direct-connect or satellite-connect line-handler process can be configured as a single
line, as part of a multi-line path, or as part of a multi-CPU path. This section explains
how to configure a direct-connect or satellite-connect line-handler process as a single-
line or as part of a multi-CPU path. Configuring direct-connect and satellite-connect
lines that are part of a multi-line path is explained in Section 14, Configuring Multi-Line
Paths.
