3-8 WPIM-RT1 User’s Guide
Active Protocol (Read-Only)
Displays the active OSI layer protocol (Protocol Manager) chosen for the
WPIM-RT1. There is one set of parameters displayed for FR, and one set
for PPP. Refer to
Section 3.2.1.1 for information on the Active Protocol
set to Frame Relay, and Section 3.2.1.2 for PPP information.
3.2.1.1 Frame Relay as the Protocol Manager
Refer to Figure 3-4 for the following parameters displayed for FR.
FR LMI (Selectable)
Frame Relay Link Management Interface. This field displays ANSI_94,
NO LMI, T1.617-D or Q.933-A. The NO LMI setting is for specialized
applications in which no Frame Relay Link Management is available or
required.
DLCI Address (Modifiable)
Data Link Connection Identifier given by the Service Provider. Can be set
to values from 0-1023, depending on the protocol, when available for
modification with certain protocol modes. The values 0-15 and 1008-1022
are reserved DLCI addresses. When using FR PtoMP as the Protocol
Manager, the WPIM-RT1 can learn the DLCIs dynamically from the
switch.
DLCI DCP En (Toggle)
Enables the user to turn Data Compression Protocol On or Off on an
application port per application port basis when available. The DLCI port
must be entered to change compression.
DLCI DCP Stat (Read-Only)
Displays the current negotiated status of compression.
Comp Ratio (Read-Only)
Displays the Compression Ratio, which is the ratio of uncompressed to
compressed data.
Circuit State (Selectable)
The field initially displays the state of the DLCI circuit, and can be
modified. Steps through Active, Inactive and Invalid.
