Eicon Networks 1530 Network Router User Manual


 
Web Interface Settings Glossary 95
Error threshold (N2)
Defines the maximum number of Reliability Errors and/or Protocol Errors that can occur
during a sliding Monitored Events Count, before a Frame Relay connection is declared
inactive. This parameter should always be less than or equal to the Monitored Events Count.
Range: 1-10.
Default: 3.
Monitered events count (N3)
Defines the Monitored Events Count, which is the number of successful polling cycles required
before the Frame Relay port can be declared active. If the port has been declared inactive, the
network waits the specified number of monitored events before declaring it active again.
Range: 1-10.
Default: 4.
Note: For a DLCI to be declared inactive, the amount defined for N2 (Reliability Errors and/or Protocol
Errors) must be reached within the specified number of monitored events. This prevents transient con-
ditions from declaring a DLCI inactive.
Link integrity verification timer (T1)
Defines how frequently the Eicon 1530 WAN Router should initiate a Status Enquiry message.
This timer must be set to less than the timer used by the Frame Relay Network to verify that the
Eicon 1530 WAN Router is sending Status Enquiry messages. To determine the Frame Relay
Network timer value, contact your network administrator.
Possible values: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 (seconds).
Default: 10 seconds.
Committed information rate
Defines the Committed Information Rate (CIR) in bits per second. The CIR is the rate at which
the network transfers information under normal conditions. The service provider typically sets
pricing based on the CIR (including other criteria) with rate guarantees.
Range: 2400-2048000.
Default: 9600.
