DLCI Records
Typically, DLCI Records only need to be configured when building Management
PVCs between the NOC and the central site unit; the unit automatically
configures non-management DLCI Records and PVC Connections.
Table 4-8. DLCI Record Options (1 of 3)
DLCI Number
Possible Settings: 16 – 1007
Default Setting: Initially blank; no default.
Specifies the number for the DLCI in the DLCI record. The parameter determines which
DLCI record is used for transferring data on a particular frame relay interface. DLCI
numbers range from 0 to 1023. However, the numbers 0 – 15 and 1008 – 1023 are
reserved. Entry of an invalid number results in the error message
Value Out of
Range (16 – 1007) . If the DLCI number is part of a connection, this field is read-only.
NOTES: – If a DLCI number is not entered, the DLCI record is not created.
– The DLCI number entered must be unique for the interface.
– Changing settings for this configuration option causes the FrameSaver
unit to abort any active frame relay tests.
16 – 1007 – Specifies the DLCI number.
DLCI Type
Possible Settings: Standard, Multiplexed
Default Setting: Multiplexed
Specifies whether the DLCI is standard or multiplexed. This field is read-only when the
selected DLCI is used in a PVC or Management link connection and the DLCI Type is
Standard.
Display Conditions – This option does not appear for the user data port, and it cannot
be changed if the DLCI is specified as the TS Management Link.
Standard – Supports standard DLCIs as specified by the Frame Relay Standards. Use
this setting when a non-FrameSaver unit is at the other end. For user data port DLCIs,
this is the only selection available.
Multiplexed – Enables multiplexing of multiple connections into a single DLCI. Allows a
single PVC through the frame relay network to carry multiple DLCIs as long as these
connections are between the same two endpoints (proprietary). Do not select
Multiplexed unless there are FrameSaver units at both ends of the connection.
