messages in increments of 5.
LMI N4 Measurement Period (T3)
Possible Settings: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
Default Setting: 20

DLCI Records
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 3-7. DLCI Record Options (1 of 3)
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 0 to 1023. 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.
