Packet Endpnts
DLCI State
Controls how the state of this DLCI is reported to any packet connections within
ATLAS attempting to send or receive data on this DLCI.
Auto Passes the state as reported by the frame relay switch. Set DLCI
State to Auto for normal operation.
Force Active This DLCI disregards the status as reported from the switch and
reports Active to all packet endpoints within ATLAS 830.
Force Inactive Reports status as Down to all packet endpoints within ATLAS 830.
Diagnostic Mode
Controls operation of PVC testing options. To allow the far end to measure delay,
select Echo Far-End Loopbacks. To continuously measure in-band delay, select
In-band delay Measurement. To turn off continuous diagnostic functions, select
Pass-through Diagnostic Packets.
Echo Far-End Loopbacks
Generates and transmits a response on this DLCI to the remote
equipment if an ADTRAN proprietary diagnostic message is
received on this DLCI.
In-Band Delay Measurement
Generates a diagnostic packet to measure delay through the frame
relay network. This process requires that the equipment at the
remote site be ADTRAN IQ compatible.
Pass-Through Diagnostic Packets
Used when ATLAS is acting as a frame relay switch. Transmits a
diagnostic packet out the packet endpoint connected to this DLCI, if
a diagnostic packet is received on this packet endpoint.
