3. Configuration Options
3-86 December 2002 9000-A2-GB31-00
Alternate Link
Possible Settings: Net1-FR1, Port-n, ISDN Link Name, Clear
Default Setting: Initially blank; no default.
Specifies the frame relay interface to use for this management PVC as the alternate link.
The interface selected must have at least one DLCI (or DLCI with EDLCI) defined, which
is not part of a PVC connection or already assigned as a management PVC.
Display Conditions – This option does not appear unless ISDN backup is available,
and does not appear if Payload Managed is enabled.
Net1-FR1 – Specifies the Network interface as the fra me relay link.
Port-n – Specifies the frame relay link on the user data port as the alternate destination
link for the connection.
ISDN Link Name – For units with ISDN backup capability, specifies the ISDN link of the
DBM to be used in the connection. This can be any nonnull link name configured on an
ISDN frame relay link on an installed DBM.
Clear – Clears the link and the DLCI field, and suppresses the EDLCI field if the DLCI was
multiplexed.
Alternate DLCI
Possible Settings: 16 – 1007
Default Setting: Initially blank; no default.
Specifies the alternate DLCI number to be used for the management PVC after the frame
relay interface is selected.
The DLCI must be defined for the link (i.e., has a DLCI record), and it must not be part of
a PVC connection or already assigned as a management PVC. For multiplexed DLCIs, at
least one EDLCI must be unconfigured for the DLCI.
Display Conditions – This option does not appear if Payload Managed is enabled. The
DLCI cannot be entered if the Link field is blank.
NOTE: Clearing Link also clears the DLCI.
16 – 1007 – Specifies the DLCI number (inclusive).
Alternate EDLCI
Possible Settings: 0 – 62
Default Setting: Initially blank; no default.
Specifies the alternate EDLCI number used for a management PVC when a multiplexed
DLCI is selected for the frame relay link. EDLCIs identify individual connections within
multiplexed DLCIs that are unique to those DLCIs.
Use a unique EDLCI to identify an individual connection within a multiplexed DLCI. Use 0
to identify the primary EDLCI. Use 1 – 62 to identify secondary EDLCIs. Use the primary
EDLCI for customer data, which has a higher utilization rate than management data, with
slightly less line overhead.
Display Conditions – This option does not appear unless ISDN backup is available and
the DLCI field does not reference a multiplexed DLCI. This option does not appear if
Payload Managed is enabled.
NOTE: Clearing the DLCI or changing it to a standard DLCI suppresses the EDLCI
field.
0 – 62 – Specifies the EDLCI number (inclusive).
