Table C-1. Network Interface Configuration Options (2 of 3)

Management Link: Disable
Enable Disable
Specifies whether Facility Data Link (FDL) is enabled. Selecting Enable allows SNMP or
Telnet traffic to flow over the
4 kbps data link provided by FDL. Running SNMP or Telnet over FDL requires an
end-to-end FDL connection and cannot be terminated within the network.
Enable – Enables the FDL management link for SNMP or Telnet.
Disable – Disables the FDL management link.
NOTES: – This configuration option is only available if the framing format is set to
ESF.
– This configuration option is not available if EDL is enabled.
– If the local DSU/CSU’s FDL is enabled, the remote DSU/CSU’s FDL
must also be enabled.
ANSI Performance Report Messages: Disable
Enable Disable
Specifies whether ANSI T1.403 compliant performance report messages (PRMs) are
generated.
Enable – Generates and sends ANSI PRMs over the FDL every second.
Disable – Prevents the DSU/CSU from generating ANSI PRMs.
NOTE: This configuration option is only available if the framing format is set to
ESF.
Network Initiated LLB: Enable
Enable Disable
Allows initiation and termination of the LLB to be controlled by the receipt of
LLB-Actuate and LLB-Release commands from the network (or remote DSU/CSU).
Enable – Causes the DSU/CSU to enter an LLB (if the DSU/CSU can perform an LLB
in its current state) and to cause an LLB-Release command to terminate the LLB.
Disable – Causes the DSU/CSU to ignore LLB-Actuate and LLB-Release commands
(the DSU/CSU is not in compliance with ANSI T1.403 and AT&T TR 62411).
NOTE: If this configuration option is enabled, the DSU/CSU recognizes the in-band
LLB-Actuate and LLB-Release codes specified by AT&T as well as the
bit-oriented FDL messages specified by ANSI (for ESF only).
Network Initiated PLB: Enable
Enable Disable
Allows initiation and termination of the PLB to be controlled by the receipt of
PLB-Actuate and PLB-Release commands from the network (or remote DSU/CSU).
Enable – Causes the DSU/CSU to enter a PLB (if the DSU/CSU can perform a PLB in
its current state) and to cause a PLB-Release command to terminate the PLB.
Disable – Causes the DSU/CSU to ignore PLB-Actuate and PLB-Release commands
(the DSU/CSU is not in compliance with ANSI T1.403 and AT&T TR 54016).
NOTES: – If this configuration option is enabled, the DSU/CSU recognizes the
in-band PLB-Actuate and PLB-Release codes specified by AT&T as well
as the bit-oriented FDL messages specified by ANSI.
– This configuration option is only available if the network interface
framing is set to ESF.
