mscLpX21LinkMode 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.10.10.1.1

This attribute defines the intended gender of the X21 component (V.11 interface). The actual gender of the interface is determined by the physical connection to the patch panel. If the hardware setup does not match this attribute, an alarm will be generated. In dte mode, the control line signal is driven as specified by the attribute readyLineState when the interface passes its initial diagnostics. Then, the control line signal will be driven as specified in the attribute dataTransferLineState when the application is ready to transfer data. On the other hand, the input line signal (indication) is compared against those specified in the attributes readyLineState and dataTransferLineState. The application will be notified when the specified line states are observed. In dce mode, the X21 component behaves similarly as when it is in dte mode. However, it will be driving the DCE line signal (control) and monitoring the DTE line signal (indication) as specified by the attributes readyLineState and dataTransferLineState.
