IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO Installation & Applications Guide — 2.23

2.2.2.3 - Quick Start Frame Relay

Since the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO auto-learns the frame relay configuration, only

a couple of parameters need to be configured before the unit is fully operational as an IP

router for frame relay.

Upon initial start up, 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. The

IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO will then automatically create a remote site profile for

each PVC.

Within each of the remote site profiles automatically created Bridging, IP routing, and

IPX routing are all set to “enabled”. Because each of these options are enabled by default

and the automatically created remote site profiles will establish a PVC connection to the

remote site routers, the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO will bridge and IPX route data

without any user configuration. Because an IP router requires an IP address, the

IOLINK router must be configured with an IP address before IP routing is fully

operational.

To configure an IP address for the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO, use the IP address

option.

If security is required for the PVC connection refer to the Configure PPP Security section

for information on setting the security passwords and user names for PPP.

By default, PPP is disabled for each of the newly created remote site profiles. If PPP

encapsulation is desired, for example to use security, the PPP encapsulation option

should be set to “enabled”. By default, when PPP encapsulation is enabled multilink is

also enabled.
