NAME
The Name setting allows you to identify each of the endpoints with a discrete name. This
setting is case-sensitive, so a endpoint called “P101” is not the same as one called “p101.”
Circuits are built using these names.
PORT
The Port number identifies the Frame Relay port used for this circuit. This information is input
by the user from the keyboard. Valid entries are C1 to C4 and 1 to 64.
DLCI
The Data Link Connection Identifier is a unique number assigned by the carrier to this
endpoint. The number must be between 1 and 996 (ansi or ccitt), or 1 and 1007 (lmi). The other
numbers within the 1023 range are reserved.
BC(Kb)
The Bits Committed setting defines the threshold for the transmit rate (outgoing frames)
where the card will make every effort to deliver the traffic to the subscriber. The time used to
average rate is determined by the card by dividing the Committed Information Rate (CIR) by
Bc. The number input must be between 0 and 2048.
BE(Kb)
The Bits Excessive setting defines the threshold for the transmit rate (outgoing frames) where
the carrier will admit the frames into the network (in effect, this is the maximum transmission
rate). Frames sent below this threshold but above the BC (KB) threshold are admitted into the
carrier network with the DE (discard eligibility) bit set. If congestion occurs in the network,
these frames are the first to be discarded. The options are 0 to 2048.
Action Function
Refresh Redraws the screen.
New Adds new circuit endpoints for each of the Frame Relay ports
dElete Deletes the highlighted endpoints. The system requires confirmation with a
yes/no question before deleting the circuit.
pgUp Pages through the pages of Frame Relay endpoints from newest to oldest.
pgDn Pages through the pages of Frame Relay endpoints from oldest to newest.
Main Returns to the System Main Screen. If changes are made to settings and not
saved, you will be prompted to save or lose changes.
