Configuration

Manually Configuring DLCI Records

The Auto-Configuration feature automatically configures DLCI Records and their PVC Connections. DLCI Records can also be created manually (see Table 3-7).

Main Menu→ Configuration→ [Network/Data Port]→ DLCI Records

Typically, DLCI Records only need to be configured when building Management PVCs between the NOC and the central site unit; the unit automatically configures non-management DLCI Records and PVC Connections.

To configure these options, Service Type on the Easy Install screen must be set to Frame Relay.

Table 3-7. DLCI Record Options (1 of 3)

DLCI Number

Possible Settings: 16 ± 1007

Default Setting: Initially blank; no default.

Specifies the number for the DLCI in the DLCI record. The parameter determines which DLCI record is used for transferring data on a particular frame relay interface. DLCI numbers range from 0 to 1023. However, the numbers 0 ± 15 and 1008 ± 1023 are reserved. Entry of an invalid number results in the error message Value Out of Range (16 ± 1007). If the DLCI number is part of a connection, this field is read-only.

NOTES: ± If a DLCI number is not entered, the DLCI record is not created.

±The DLCI number entered must be unique for the interface.

±Changing settings for this configuration option causes the FrameSaver unit to abort any active frame relay tests.

16 ± 1007 ± Specifies the DLCI number (inclusive).

DLCI Type

Possible Settings: Standard, Multiplexed

Default Setting: Multiplexed

Specifies whether the DLCI is standard or multiplexed. This field is read-only when the selected DLCI is used in a PVC or Management link connection and the DLCI Type is Standard.

Display Conditions ± This option does not appear for a user data port, and it cannot be changed if the DLCI is specified as the TS Access Management Link.

Standard ± Supports standard DLCIs as specified by the Frame Relay Standards. Use this setting when a non-FrameSaver unit is at the other end.

Multiplexed ± Enables multiplexing of multiple connections into a single DLCI. Allows a single PVC through the frame relay network to carry multiple DLCIs as long as these connections are between the same two endpoints (proprietary). Do not select Multiplexed unless there are FrameSaver units at both ends of the connection.
