Appendix E - IR-IP Interface Module HCD-E1
Installation & Operation Manual
E-16 Advanced Setup Menu
WAN Status
Used to enable/disable the flow of packets through the WAN interface:
•
Open – the flow of packets is enabled.
•
Closed – the flow of packets through the WAN interface is disabled. As a
result, IR-IP does not accept from, nor sends packets to the WAN.
However, the LAN interface of the IP router is still active.
WAN Throttle
This parameter specifies the maximum data rate at which frames are sent to
the WAN (i.e., to the HCD-E1 HDSL link).
The available selections are:
•
64 kbps
•
128 kbps
•
128 kbps
•
512 kbps
•
1024 kbps
•
Full (no restriction on the rate).
Since the IP router buffers have a limited capacity (256 frames), it is
recommended to select the WAN Throttle parameter in accordance with
the line rate.
Aging Timeout
Used to specify the time after which inactive LAN stations are removed from
the IR-IP ARP table.
A station is defined as inactive when no IP traffic is received from it by the
IR-IP LAN interface.
WAN Protocol
Parameters –
Frame Relay
Protocol Menu
The Frame Relay Protocol Parameters menu is used to configure the
parameters Frame Relay WAN for protocol (the WAN protocol is selected
by means of the Quick Setup Menu) in Figure E-6.

Self Learn
Used to specify whether the Frame Relay DLCI and maintenance protocol is
learned automatically (ENABLED), or is manually entered (DISABLED).
Maintenance Protocol
When the Self Learn parameter is DISABLED, use this parameter to specify
the desired maintenance protocol.
