Table 4-15. DLCI Records (1 of 3)
DLCI Number
Possible Settings: 16 – 1007
Default Setting: Initially blank
Specifies the number for the DLCI in the DLCI rec ord. The parameter determines which
DLCI record is used for transferring data on a particular frame relay interface. DLCI
numbers range from 0–1023 with numbers 0–15 and 1008–1023 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 this setting causes the FrameSaver unit to abort any active frame relay
tests.
16 – 1007 – Specifies the DLCI number.
DLCI Type
Possible Settings: Standard, Multiplexed, IP Enabled
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.
This option 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.
IP Enabled – Enables connection to one or more endpoints through a Layer 3 network. A
Payload Management PVC is created as well as the IP Enabled DLCI.
