Parameter	Description
DLCI Number	Used to identify the DLC. This number is supplied by the Public Frame Relay network
	provider. The DLCIs are stored in a table which can be seen with the L command.
Frame Relay Address	Determines the method used for mapping the remote IP address to the Permanent
Map	Virtual Circuit. Static maps one IP address to this DLCI. Inverse ARP maps the IP
	address dynamically, in a manner similar to the ARP table.
IP Address	Applies when Frame Relay Address Map is Static. Provides the IP address to be used
	for static address mapping.
Enable Predictor	Enables data compression using the Predictor algorithm. This feature should be
Compression	enabled only if Cyclades' equipment is being used on both ends of the connection
	because there is no established standard for data compression interoperability. Data
	compression is very CPU-intensive, making this feature effective only for links running
	at speeds under 1Mbps. At higher speeds, the time necessary to compress data
	offsets the gains in throughput achieved by data compression.
Number of Bits for	Applies when Predictor Compression Enabled. Sixteen is fastest, but 10 must be
Compression	used if the router on the other end is a PathRouter, for compatibility.
DLCI Priority Level	This is the equivalent of CONFIG=>RULES LIST=>IP =>CONFIGURE RULES=>ADD
	RULE=>FLOW PRIORITY LEVEL. See the section on traffic control in chapter 16.
Reserved Bandwidth	This is the equivalent of CONFIG=>RULES LIST=>IP =>CONFIGURE RULES=>ADD
	RULE=>RESERVED BANDWIDTH. Defines what percentage of the total bandwidth
	on an interface will be set aside for this DLC. See the section on traffic control in
	chapter 16.
Bandwidth Priority	This is the equivalent of CONFIG=>RULES LIST=>IP =>CONFIGURE RULES=>ADD
Level	RULE=>BANDWIDTH PRIORITY LEVEL. See the section on traffic control in chapter
	16.

To edit the DLCI table, use the list command (CONFIG=>INTERFACE=><LINK>=>ENCAPSULATION =>FRAME RELAY=>L) to discover the number CyROS has assigned to each table entry. It will not be the same as the DLCI.
