There are two types of frame: status and data. On each line of eith er type, the leftm ost
field shows the DLCI number.
The example in Figure 20-7 shows statu s frame s in ANSI T1.617 A nnex D.
format. This and LMI (Rev 1) format are described under "Status
Exchanges" on page 20-12.
Status Exchanges
Each status exchange line contains (at the end) a pair of 3-digit numbers that are the
next and current sequence n umbers. The types of status exchange will be one o f these:
●Full Status Enquiries, which are sent by the frame relay DTE (i.e., the Smart-
Switch 1800 ).
●Full Status Responses, which help the DTE learn which DL CIs are available for
sending/receiving data. The frame relay DCE (switch) should report a DLCI as
active only when it has a path through the frame relay network. The status of a
DLCI will be reported as N (new) or A (active). A DLCI is reported as new if
this is the first time it is being reported to the DTE. A DLCI reported as active
will (if not already done) transition the frame relay DLCI on the Virtual Con-
nections Display ([C], [C] from the Main Menu) to Data_trans and the port Port
Status Display ([C], [B] from the Main Menu) to
Operational.
