Paradyne manual 9123-A2-GB20-00 May

Configuration

NOTE:

If 1MPort (the default) is not the setting required for your application, change the Frame Relay Discovery Mode before connecting the network cable or editing discovered option settings. Otherwise, the FrameSaver unit will start ªdiscoveringº DLCIs as soon as it powers up.

To recover from this problem and when some DLCIs or PVC Connections have been configured manually, edit a selected ªdiscoveredº DLCI or PVC connection manually. If only a local management PVC between the router and the FrameSaver unit has been configured, select the desired Frame Relay Discovery Mode and Save the change.

The default discovery mode is 1MPort (management DLCIs multiplexed with data DLCIs on Port-1). In this mode, for each DLCI discovered on the network, the unit creates a multiplexed network interface DLCI (which contains two EDLCIs ± one for Port-1 data and the other for management), a standard Port-1 DLCI (with the same number as the network interface DLCI), and a Management PVC, then cross-connects them. When LMI is active on the network interface and PVC status information (with provisioned DLCI numbers) is next received from the network, the unit automatically saves the settings to the Current Configuration area.

Configuration options set by selecting a discovery mode can be manually modified, refined, or deleted at any time using the Configuration menus.

No previously discovered and configured DLCIs or cross-connections will be removed unless authorized or Automatic Circuit Removal is enabled (see Automatically Removing a Circuit). Additional discovered DLCIs will be configured according to the current Frame Relay Discovery Mode setting. Selecting or changing the setting will not affect IP Addresses or Subnet Masks.

NOTE:

When auto-configuration creates a multiplexed DLCI, but a standard DLCI is needed, change the DLCI to standard from the network DLCI Records screen: Configuration → Network → DLCI Records
