PVC Configuration Settings
Description
PVCs are configured using four menu items:
z PVC type —Defines the PVC type as Active , Connect on activity , or Passive .
z Active —Specifies that the PVC attempts to connect as soon as a link goes up.
If an immediate connection is not made, the PVC continues trying to connect
at a specified time interval. This time interval is established by the call timer
setting.
z Connect on activity —Specifies that the PVC connects when data is received.
This PVC remains dormant until it receives a data packet from the network.
z Passive —Specifies that PVCs make no attempt to connect.
z LCN low —Defines the minimum logical channel number for the PVCs you want to
configure.
z LCN high —Defines the maximum logical channel number for the PVCs you want to
configure.
z Timer interval —Defines the timer interval. The timer interval type depends on the
PVC type. The following timer intervals are available:
z Call timer interval —Defines the time interval (in seconds) at which an active
PVC will attempt to establish a connection to a destination.
z Inactivity timer interval —Defines the amount of time (in seconds) after a
connect on activity PVC is started before an inactive call is dropped or
disconnected.
