WAN Channel Assignment main screen
The next stage in configuring a Frame Relay link is to set the number of 64-kbps channels on the T1/E1 that
will carry the data. Each channel is 64 kbps in speed and must correspond to the same channels that your pro-
vider is using. Usually your provider will start from channel 1. For example: a 256-kbps link could be divided
into 64-kbps channels numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4.
To set the channel assignment:
1. Click on
T1/E1 Link
under the
Configuration Menu
to display the
T1/E1 Link Activity
main window (see
figure 102 on page 252).
2. Click on
Channel Assignment
in the appropriate Link: x section (for example, if the T1/E1 cable was con-
nected to port 2, you would click on
Channel Assignment
in the Link: 2 section).
3. Click on the appropriate channel’s drop-down menu and select
frameRelay(3)
.
4. Repeat step 3 to configure remaining channels.
5. Click
Submit
.
The link should now be activated on your access server. The next stages will configure Frame Relay and IP
routing.
