In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.

Suggested for DECnet

Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.

Frame Relay Configuration

This section covers the settings required for Frame Relay operation of the V.35 WAN inter- faces. In general, the parameters listed here should be set for each WAN interface on which you plan to use Frame Relay. Note that some WAN interfaces can be running Frame Relay while others are running PPP.

The V.35 interfaces can only be run synchronously, at rates up to 2 Mb per second.

WAN Link Configuration

Required for Dedicated Line Operation

Frame Relay is presently supported in the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP only via synchronous dedicated line operation.

Set Dedicated connection

Set Frame Relay connection

CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation

Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.

Frame Relay DLCI Mappings

If you are connecting to another Compatible Systems router, this information is not required for Frame Relay operation. Compatible Systems uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) to dynamically generate this information. To connect to other vendors’ routers which do not support IARP, you must provide DLCI-to-protocol mapping information.

ϖNote: Many Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) do not support IARP as a default. If your WAN interface will be connected to an ISP via Frame Relay, check with your ISP technical staff on whether or not you must manually enter DLCI information.

CV: Use the DLCI Mapping Database (under WAN/Link Configuration/DLCI button).

TB: Use configure and set the DLCI keyword in the Frame Relay WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section.
