Cyclades-PR2000
STEP TWO
The next step is to create a static routing table associating each remote X.121 address with an IP address or a TCP Socket location. This is done in the Add DTE menu, which appears at the end of the X.25 parameter list. It can be reached by passing through all X.25 parameters or by using the <ESC> key at any point in the parameter list.

Parameter | Description |
Type of Logical Address | IP Address or TCP Socket. Users that intend to use the TCP Socket option should |
| see the CyROS Reference Guide. |
IP Address | Applies for IP Address Type. IP Address of remote DTE device. |
X.121(DTE) Address | Address of remote DTE device. |
VC Number | Number assigned to this circuit, if it is a PVC. For SVCs, the value should be zero. |
Enable Predictor | Applies for IP Address Type. Enables data compression using the Predictor |
Compression | algorithm. This feature should be 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 |
| 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 Cyclades PathRouter, for compatibility. |
