Quick Start Frame Relay
Since the P1705 & P1730 auto-learns the frame relay configuration, only a couple of
parameters need to be configured before the unit is fully operational as an IP router for
frame relay.
Upon initial start up, the P1705 & P1730 are pre-configured to query the frame relay
service to auto-learn the LMI type and the PVC DLCI numbers. The P1705 & P1730
will then automatically create a remote site profile for each PVC.
Within each of the remote site profiles automatically created Bridging, IP routing, and
IPX routing are all set to “enabled”. Because each of these options are enabled by default
and the automatically created remote site profiles will establish a PVC connection to the
remote site routers, the P1705 & P1730 will bridge and IPX route data without any user
configuration. Because an IP router requires an IP address, the router must be
configured with an IP address before IP routing is fully operational.
To configure an IP address for the P1705 & P1730, use the IP address option.

If security is required for the PVC connection refer to the Configure PPP Security section
for information on setting the security passwords and user names for PPP.
By default, PPP is disabled for each of the newly created remote site profiles. If PPP
encapsulation is desired, for example to use security, the PPP encapsulation option
should be set to “enabled”. By default, when PPP encapsulation is enabled multilink is
also enabled.
