Introduction
The T-DAC offers in-band management over Frame Relay or PPP (point-to-point protocol) links in the T1/E1
channels. The T-DAC’s PPP subsystem manages the T-DAC’s in-band management function over PPP links.
This chapter discusses in-band management using PPP (for Frame Relay, see chapter “Frame Relay” on
page 91).
Any T1/E1 WAN link can carry user data, management information, or both. To set up in-band management
over PPP, you will allocate selected DS0s for management channels. You can select any number of DS0s from
any of the T1 or E1 links to carry management information instead of user data.
Also refer to chapter 11, “In-band management” on page 149 for additional information on in-band manage-
ment links.
T1/E1 port and DS0 selection
The first stage in setting up a Frame Relay WAN link is configuring one or more DS0s on any T1 or E1 line for
Frame Relay in-band management. See chapter 20, “T1/E1 Link” on page 285 for T1/E1 port configuration.

view window (see figure 119). Select which T1/E1 port will carry the PPP link, then click on the View
Link hyperlink of the selected port (in this example, View Link 9 was clicked).
