4.Following the example shown in Figure 786-3, specify the connection type by left mouse clicking on the Connection Type pull down menu and selecting the FR connection type desired. The window displays the two FR connection types as follows:

•FR-ATM VC

•FR-FR

5.Using the left mouse button, select the desired NE, Slot/Card Type, and Network Interface/Interface Type for the originating and destination endpoints. Click on Next>> using the left mouse button.

6.For FR-FR connections, the screen shown in Figure 786-4appears. For FR-ATM VC connections, the screen shown in Figure 786-5appears. The two sections below the Connection Name text box of the next window represent the two connection endpoints. The network element identifications for both end points are displayed as well as the interface type. Using the left mouse button, click on the up or down arrows to select a Maximum Frame Size for this connection up to 4096 bytes.

7.On the upper FR section, select a Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) under the heading DLCI/NE/Rate using the left mouse button. DLCIs that are already in use will not be selectable. The NE and Rate (Kbps) fields being visible to the user indicate these are in use already. If needed, use the scroll bar to display the available DLCIs not displayed in the window.

8.To the right are the PVC Endpoint Parameter selections. Click on each box that pertains to this connection. Refer to Table 786-1below for definitions of each parameter. The bottom section of the table defines the additional FRF.8 parameters for FR-ATM connections.

Note: If selecting Discard Eligible (DE) Bit Tagging, the connection will be treated as NRT-VBR3 (non-real time variable bit rate level 3). If not selected, the connection will be treated as NRT-VBR2.
