If the Facilities Data Link will be used proceed to the Facilities Data Link (FDL)
paragraphs on page 5-31 to begin the FDL configuration. Otherwise, skip the
FDL
configuration process and proceed to configuring the TDM channels on
page 5-35.
Facilities Data Link
(FDL) The Facilities Data Link is a T1 term specifically relating to Extended
SuperFrame (ESF). ESF increases the standard T1 frame from 12 to 24
consecutive frames of information. This allows for a 4 Kbps link to be used for
the FDL. This link supports the communication of various network information
in the form of in-service monitoring and diagnostics.
Setting up the FDL requires the following conditions and setup screens:
•
The WAN connection must be in ESF mode.
See WAN setup instructions on page 5-24. Also see Figure 21 and Figure
22.
•
Enable the FDL and its source. See Figure 25.
•
Determine if the FDL will be the Default Gateway or if it will need a Static
Route assigned.
•
Configure the IP parameters for the path that the FDL will use.
See Figure 27 and Figure 30.
