The 3102 will not function as a DCE device, only
as a DTE device. it is missing the chip which supplies clock on the serial line
neccessary for DCE interface.

I have a 3102, it was one of the first routers
I acquired.
Tried to connect it back to back to a 4000 with
the DCE cable on the 3102 - didn't work.
So had to get other cables to do it the other
way, DCE on the 4000 - that works fine.
Don't know where to "officially"
confirm this but I can confirm it through testing. I have it hooked up
right now working fine as DTE.

Subject: DCE Interface ?
Does anyone know if a 3000 series router
can be used to provide clocking?
I have a 3204 which I am trying to hook up
to another 3204 with a back to back cable. I checked to see which side
is DCE and put the command clockrate 64000 in but I get an error
"%error this command applies to DCE interfaces".
I checked the controller and it shows it
being DCE.
I also checked the cable on my 4000 and it
worked fine.
I am using IOS 11.2 on the 3204.
So now I'm wondering if anybody can confirm
this either way. I would appreciate it. Thanks.
