31) LMI Procedure Type

This field specifies the Local Management Interface (

LMI

) procedure type for this Frame Relay

port. You have three choices for the

LMI

procedure type. The letters used in the

frmodify

screen correspond to the following:

B

Bidirectional

U

User (the default)

N

Network

Enter your choice by specifying the letter corresponding to your choice.

4) Polling Interval T391/nT1

This interval is the time in seconds between

WSX

port polls of the Frame Relay network. The

WSX

port polls the network by sending

STATUS ENQUIRY

messages, which check the link

integrity of the Frame Relay connection. By default this interval is set to 10 seconds, but you
can increase or decrease it. The default is the standard Frame Relay value. Increasing the poll-
ing interval lightens the data load on the port, as it does not have to poll as often. The inter-
val may range from 1 second to 4 minutes and 15 seconds (255 seconds).

Important Note

This option should only be modified by experienced
Frame Relay network administrators.

5) Full Status Interval N391/nN1

This interval is the time in seconds between

FULL STATUS ENQUIRIES

initiated by the WSX to

the Frame Relay network. The Frame Relay network returns a list of all virtual circuits and
whether they are active or inactive. You can set this interval from 1 to 10 seconds. By default,
this interval is set to 6 seconds, which is the standard Frame Relay default value.

Important Note

This option should only be modified by experienced
Frame Relay network administrators.
