Auto Learning the Frame Relay Configuration

The P850 is pre-configured to query the frame relay service to auto-

learn the LMI type and the PVC DLCI numbers. This auto-learn

function allows the P850 to be plugged into the frame relay service

and auto-learn the PVC configuration to become operational without

further manual configuration.
Manual configuration is also allowed by modifying the options within

each Remote Site Profile and the individual link configuration menus.
When the P850 first starts up it will query the frame relay service to try

to determine the LMI type. Once the LMI type is determined, the

PVC configurations will be known from the full status enquiry

messages. If the DLCI numbers of the PVC’s on your service are

determined during this learning process, the P850 will automatically

create a remote site profile for each PVC. The automatically created

remote site profiles will be named “LinkxDLCIyyy” where x is the

physical link number the PVC is on and yyy is the DLCI of the PVC.

If during this learning process the maximum number of remote sites (40)

has been reached, the P850 will prompt you that there are no remote sites

available. A new remote site cannot be auto-created unless one of the

existing remote sites is manually deleted.
