Dsxpnm Serial Interface
Finding the RX clock on a Serial interface WAN. Is there any way of doing a show command that will show what clock rate a Serial interface is running. How can I check the traffic on a serial interface to be sure that it is not overloaded? I having an issue with an application not working over our WAN connecti. Show interface ser0/0 (or whatever the interface number is). Look for the following lines. Hardware is DSXPNM Serial Description: DS3 to Wilmington Internet address is 192.168. Sealevel asynchronous serial interfaces are designed for high-speed applications and support RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, and RS-530 electrical interface standards. Whether you choose a traditional bus-based approach or opt for easy-to-use USB or Ethernet solutions, you will be quickly communicating with your serial devices.

Key Benefits
• Physical space savings: Eliminates the need for external DSU device, saving valuable rack space
• Simplified management: Eliminates the need for two separate monitoring tools
• Software-configurable T3/E3: Provides the flexibility to deploy a single module worldwide
Key Features Euro style regular font.
• One-port T3 with DSU or E3 with DSU network module
• T3/E3-specific features for monitoring, bit error rate tester (BERT), Management Information Bases (MIBs), alarms, and more
• Ability to independently or simultaneously enable scrambling and subrate in each DSU mode; support for the following DSU vendors' algorithms: Digital Link, Kentrox, Larscom, Verilink, Adtran.
• Support for the serial encapsulation protocols: Frame Relay, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)
• 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
Key Management Features

• Line and payload loopback capabilities
• DS3 remote-line loopback (via Far End Alarm and Control [FEAC] codes per American National Standards Institute [ANSI] T1.107a)
• Response to embedded loopback commands
• Insertion of loopback commands into transmitted signal
• Programmable pseudorandom pattern up to 32 bits long, including 223, 220, 215, 1s, 0s, alt-0-1
• 32-bit error count and bit-count registers
• Alarm detection-Alarm indication signal (AIS), remote alarm, far-end block error (FEBE), out of frame (OOF)
• Onboard processor for Maintenance Data Link (MDL)
