Configuring WAN Connections

Configuring Frame Relay connections

Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 1-29

Specify the link management protocol used between the Pipeline and the

Frame Relay switch.

For example:

Link Mgmt=T1.617D

If you specify Link Mgmt=T1.617D, set the following additional

parameters:

N391

DTE N392

DTE N393

T391

T392

N391 specifies how many polling cycles the Pipeline waits before requesting

a full status report. DTE N392 is the maximum number of error events that

can occur in the sliding window defined by DTE N393. DTE N393 specifies

the width of the sliding window used by the DTE N392 parameter.

T391 specifies the number of seconds between Status Enquiry messages.

T392 specifies the number of seconds that the Pipeline waits for a Status

Enquiry message before recording an error.

See the Reference Guide for more details.

Close the Frame Relay profile.

Configuring a gateway connection

This section shows how to configure a Frame Relay gateway connection. Routing

and bridging parameters must also be configured to have a working connection.

To configure a Frame Relay gateway connection to Customer Premises

Equipment (CPE) on the Frame Relay network:

Open Ethernet > Connection > any profile.

Specify the name of the CPE.

For example:

Station=CPEA

Activate the profile.

For example:

Active=Yes
