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 0–1023 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.
