Physical Comm Settings

You may need to set the baud rate, sync/async operation, and other physical communications parameters for the WAN port. These parameters will depend on the line communications device you are using.

RV: Use the WAN/General window.

CL: Use interface(misc) and then wan serial(set).

WAN Port Frame Relay Configuration

This section covers the settings required for Frame Relay operation of the BR Router WAN port.

The RS-232 WAN port on a BR Router can be run synchronously or asynchronously, at rates up to 128Kbps (sync), or 115.2Kbps (async).

Operating Software

Required for Frame Relay

Frame Relay operation requires the correct operating software download in the BR Router’s Flash ROM. You can identify the correct software version by the “F” in the fourth character of the filename (i.e. M10F210.DLD).

RV: Use the Download Software selection under the Administration menu.

CL: Software download support is not available directly from the command line. However, the BR Router does support the TFTP protocol for software downloads. See tftp(misc).

vNote: The BR Router is shipped with PPP as the factory default operating software download. You must download Frame Relay operating software into the router in order to run in Frame Relay mode.

IP Protocol

Required for IP

Frame Relay operation requires that the WAN port is set to be a “numbered interface.” This means that the port (and thus the Frame Relay network) must have an IP address, etc.

•IP numbered interface

•IP Address
