Configuration

Table 3-6. Interface Frame Relay Options (3 of 3)

LMI Inbound Heartbeat (T2)

Possible Settings: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

Default Setting: 15

Configures the LMI-defined T2 parameter, which sets the number of seconds between the receipt of status enquiry messages on the network side of the LMI. Applies to the network side of a UNI only.

5 ± 30 ± Specifies the number of seconds between the receipt of status enquiry messages in increments of 5.

LMI N4 Measurement Period (T3)

Possible Settings: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

Default Setting: 20

Configures the LMI-defined T3 parameter, which is the time interval (in seconds) that the network side of the LMI uses to measure the maximum number of status enquiry messages that have been received (N4) from the user side.

5 ± 30 ± Specifies the interval of time in increments of 5.

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 Ports]→ 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.

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.
