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 3-26, DLCI Record Options).

Main Menu Configuration [Network/Data Port/ISDN/Virtual Router Ports]

DLCI Records

Available paths to DLCI Records Options depend on the Service Type and

FrameSaver model:

νDLCI Records is not an option on the Network menu unless Service Type is Frame Relay

νData Port is available only on CSU/DSUs

νISDN is available only when the FrameSaver unit has an ISDN DBM installed

νVirtual Router Ports is available only on the FrameSaver SLV Router

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 3-26. DLCI Record Options (1 of 4)

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 0to1023. 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).
