WAN Physical Configuration Screen Fields
The following sections describe WAN Physical Configuration screen fields and provide
instructions for setting them. The WAN Physical Configuration screen lets you configure the
WPIM or “Physical Interface.”
To select the WPIM you wish to configure, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the WPIM X command field at the bottom of the screen.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select the appropriate WPIM, then press ENTER. The WAN
Configuration screen automatically displays unique configuration fields for each WPIM as
shown in Figure 2-1.
The WAN Physical Configuration screen displays the following information for each WPIM:
WPIM 1-2 (Read-Only) — Displays configuration information for up to two different WPIMs.
Type (Read-Only) — Displays the type of WPIM installed in the slot.
WPIM # (Read-Only) — Displays the number of the slot in which the WPIM resides.
Mgr Type (Selectable) — Used to select the type of protocol manager. The available options are
PPP, FR PtoMP, FR PtoP, HDLC and NONE. The field defaults to NONE.
Max VCs (Modifiable) — Displays the maximum number of virtual circuits (interfaces) available
to be configured. The default number displayed depends on the Protocol Manager chosen. The
MAX VC value associated with a physical WAN interface is set to a default value based on the
number of possible ports available and the protocol manager selected. If, in the case of Frame
Relay or ISDN BRI, more PVCs/DLCIs exist than the default MAX VC value will allow, the
MAX VCs may be changed.
Next IF (Read-Only) — Displays the next interface available to be used.
Command Fields:
SAVE (Command) — Saves the chosen configuration.
[WPIM X] (Toggle) — Enables the user to select the WPIM to be configured. Once it is selected,
the user can enter the screens of the WPIM selected to modify the data.
