Time to Hold Data While Waiting
is the time the node will queue data while waiting for a backup DLCI to become
active. If neither a backup nor the primary has not become active when this timer
expires, the data will be discarded.
Configuring Frame Relay PVCs Across the Node
A SmartSwitch 1800 PVC is a "permanent" connection between two physical ports in
the node. This allows communication between the attached devices as soon as they are
powered up, without the need to first establish a connection.
To display a list of current PVCs, press [A] at the PVC Configuration Menu (or [A], [D],
[E], [A] from the Main Menu). The display will list PVCs of all supported types: frame
relay, X.25, async, and async-to-X.25.
To add or change a PVC, press [B] at the PVC Configuration Menu and enter a 1–4
digit Connection ID , which is simply a number unique to this connection, that identifies
the PVC.

It does not matter which end of the PVC is configured first.
