Compatible Systems DS3-10/100 - Manual (Page 12)

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration 8
DECnet Protocol
Required for DECnet
The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used,
DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.
• Set DECnet on (globally, and for a port)
• Set DECnet area
• Set DECnet node
CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet:
WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet WAN 0 section.
v Note: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.
In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
Frame Relay Configuration
This section covers the settings required for Frame Relay operation of the DS3 WAN interface.
Internal DS3 CSU/DSU Link Configuration
Required for Dedicated Line Operation
This is the only mode of operation supported via the built-in DS3 CSU/DSU.
• Set Dedicated connection
• Set Frame Relay connection
CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config
WAN 0 section.
Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
Frame Relay DLCI Mappings
If you are connecting to another Compatible Systems router, this information is not required
for Frame Relay operation. Compatible Systems uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution
Protocol) to dynamically generate this information. To connect to other vendors’ routers
which do not support IARP, you must provide DLCI-to-protocol mapping information.
v Note: Many Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) do not support IARP as a default. If your
WAN interface will be connected to an ISP via Frame Relay, check with your ISP technical
staff on whether or not you must manually enter DLCI information.
CV: Use the DLCI Mapping Database window.
TB: Use configure and set the DLCI keyword in the Frame Relay WAN 0 section.
