Description: The Current allocation method for this device. Where: ds1ByPass: In this mode the entire WAN interface is connected directly to the DSL interface. This connection provides minimal delay. Changing to this allocation method will automatically do the following assignments: WAN port 1 >>> DSL Port 1 WAN port 2 >>> DSL Port 2 WAN port 3 >>> DSL Port 3 WAN port 4 >>> DSL Port 4 WAN port 5 >>> DSL Port 5 WAN port 6 >>> DSL Port 6 WAN port 7 >>> DSL Port 7 WAN port 8 >>> DSL Port 8 ds1CrossConn: In this mode the individual WAN ports may be connected to individual DSL ports through the cross connect circuitry. This connection must use the System Clock for the timing source. Changing to this allocation method will unassign all the time slots for this interface and any time slots to the connected interface. For example: WAN port 1 >>> DSL Port 8 WAN port 2 >>> DSL Port 7 WAN port 3 >>> DSL Port 6 WAN port 4 >>> DSL Port 5 WAN port 5 >>> DSL Port 1 WAN port 6 >>> DSL Port 2 WAN port 7 >>> Not Assigned WAN port 8 >>> WAN Port 7 ds0CrossConn: This mode assigns individual time slots. Any timeslot from any WAN interface may be connected to any timeslot of any DSL interface. Changing to this allocation method will unassign all the time slots for this interface and any time slots to the connected interface. notAssigned: This indicates that this interface is not assigned. Changing to this allocation method will unassign all the time slots for this interface and any time slots to the connected interface. disabled: This is a Read Only value indicating that the interface is disabled.

NOTE: Going from one mode to another mode will unassign all the time slots for that interface and the interface it was connected to. The only exception being ds1ByPass mode. When going from any mode to ds1ByPass, all the Time Slots will be assigned Network port to WAN port. These assignments, however, do not use the cross connect circuitry.
