The P850 is an Ethernet Bridge/Router that supports frame relay
RAW 1490 permanent virtual circuits, frame relay encapsulated PPP
permanent virtual circuits and PPP leased lines. This section will
describe how to set up the P850 using each of its networking
functions.
The P850 may be configured as a simple Ethernet bridge, an Ethernet
IP router, an Ethernet IPX router, or a combination of the three.
When operating the P850 as a combination bridge/router simply
configures each of the components separately.
: The configuration options described within this section are only for initial
set up and configuration purposes. For more information on all of the
configuration parameters available, please refer to the P850 PPP Menus
Reference Manual file on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Important:The P850 uses FLASH memory to store the
configuration information. Configuration settings are
stored to FLASH memory after there has been 30 seconds
of idle time. Idle time is when there is no selection or
modification of the values in the built-in menu system. If
you wish to save the configuration immediately, enter
“=” to jump to the main menu, then select option “6” to
save the configuration.
