-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.11, 3.0, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

An SDLC connection configured to use the MicroGate T1 SDLC Adapter from
MicroGate Corp. may stay in pending status.

CAUSE
=====

The incorrect interface (RS232, RS422, or V.35) may have been selected on the
adapter.

RESOLUTION
==========

Set the J5, J6, or J7 jumper to the correct interface type.

MORE INFORMATION
================

There are three jumper settings that correlate to the types of interface. The J5
jumper selects RS-232, J6 selects V.35, and J7 selects RS-422. RS-232 is
generally associated with analog modems at 2400 to 19.2 baud, V.35 is a digital
interface using CSU/DSUs (Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit) at 56 kb per
second or greater, and RS-422 is a differential standard using a DB-25
connector. It is most frequently used in Europe.

Other SDLC adapters, such as the Attachmate Corp. (formerly DCA) ISCA Adapter,
may have similar configuration settings.

The third-party products discussed in this article are manufactured by vendors
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
