Bridged Frame-Relay.

Note:

Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 now suppor ts additional Frame Relay configuration

options when the Netopia device is operating in bridged mode.
Bridged Frame Relay (RFC 2427) is an extension of the existing onboard Frame Relay capability. Frame
Relay-capable Netopia routers (ex: T-1, IDSL) may be run in bridged mode, with the WAN handling Frame Relay
packets that are bridged to the Ethernet inter face. For these models, LMI, multiple DLCIs, etc. can be
configured.
If you choose to run the router in bridged mode, and select Frame Relay as the data link encapsulation method
in the WAN (Wide Area Network) Setup menu, the WAN Configuration menu now offers options to configure
Frame Relay and Frame Relay DLCIs.
