FEP-4600 Installation and Configuration

• 265: This is the default value and the smallest frame size that is allowed. All
SDLC platforms are required to support a frame size of 265. Any 3274 or 3276
compatible platform will support this value.
• 521: This is the commonly supported value for a 3174 compatible platform.
• 4105: This value is supported by some platforms (such as a Visara 1174 HSC
card), and is commonly used for a PU 4 connection to a remote 37x5.
Configure a value that is compatible with the type of platform that is connected. Setting a
larger value than that which is supported by the remote platform will result in receive
overrun errors on the remote platform. If the remote platform is unknown, use the default
value initially.
Initial Status: This option determines whether the FEP-4600 should attempt to poll the
SDLC line whenever the it is powered up. If set to Active, the FEP-4600 will attempt to
poll the drop at the configured interval anytime that the FEP-4600 is up. If set to Inactive,
the FEP-4600 will not attempt to bring up the drop.
