The Frame Relay main window 95
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 8 • Frame Relay
Note
If the Frame Relay window only shows the Produce Status Change Trap
setting (see figure 36), you need to do the following in the T1/E1
Link section:
Change the Line Type for a WAN port from Other(1) to an appro-
priate line type from the menu of options (see section “WAN Cir-
cuit Configuration—Modify” on page 296 in chapter 20, “T1/E1
Link” for details).
Configure at least one channel for Frame Relay (frameRelay3) oper-
ation (see section “WAN Circuit Configuration—Channel Assign-
ment” on page 300 in chapter 20, “T1/E1 Link” for details).
The Frame Relay main window also has the following links:
Modify—Clicking on the Modify link enables you to set-up Frame Relay or to change any configuration
parameters (see section “DLMI window” on page 96).
DLCI—The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) provides each PVC with a unique identifier at both
the T-DAC and the Frame Relay switch. Within each link (DLMI) there can be multiple Permanent Virtual
Circuits (PVC). Each of these PVCs are point-to-point links to remote locations, and define the data path
between the T-DAC and the Frame Relay network. Clicking on the DLCI link displays the DLCI window
(see “DLCI window” on page 98) that enables you to configure PVCs on the T-DAC.
Link X (frDlcmiIfIndex)
The Data Link Management Interface number.
Status: X (framerelStatus)
This specifies LMI Link Status. If the management DLCI (either DLCI 0 or 1023) is established, then the sta-
tus will be UP. If the management channel has not been established, the status will indicate DOWN.
HDLC Statistics on Link
The HDLC statistics on the link are defined as follows:
Transmit (Bits/Sec) (framerelTxOctets)
This statistic shows the transmit rate in bits-per-second.
Receive (Bits/Sec) (framerelRxOctets)
This statistic shows the receive rate in bits-per-second.
No Buffers Available (framerelRxNoBufferAvailable)
The number of packets received when no buffers were available.
Data Overflow (framerelRxDataOverflow)
The number of packets received with overflow (as indicated by hardware).
