2.2.2.1 - Auto Learning the Frame Relay Configuration

The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are 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 IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO to be plugged into the frame relay service and auto-

learn the PVC configuration to become operational without further manual

configuration. IOLINK router auto-learning conforms to RFC1490.

Manual configuration is also allowed by modifying the options within each Remote Site

Profile and the individual link configuration menus.

When the IOLINK-520 or IOLINK-PRO first starts up it will query the frame relay

service to try to determine the LMI type on each of the frame relay links. 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
