ACCESS PORT

WAN2 Port

WAN port 2 may be configured for one of the following connections:

Backup Triggers / Timer

Clocking

DSU / CSU ~ Frame Relay

Full Status Polling Count (N391/nN1)

IP Parameters

ISDN Configuration

Link Polling Timer (T391/nT1)

LLC Parameters

LLC2 Frame Format

Local Management Protocol

Multiple Flag Separation

NAU Name

Port Initially Enabled

Signal Control

Speed

Virtual Bridge Number

Virtual Ring Number


 

General Parameters

NAU Name

This optional name enables you to assign a name to the port. NAU names must be unique to the unit.
Range: Up to eight characters (A-Z, 0-9, @, #, $)
 

Port Initially Enabled

This option determines whether or not the port is enabled at system startup. If disabled, the port must be started manually by an operator.
Range: Enabled or Disabled
 

Clocking

This parameter defines the port's clocking.
Internal clocking enables the unit to emulate a physical DCE interface
External clocking enables the unit to emulate a physical DTE interface
Range: Internal, or External
 

Speed

If the port provides clocking, this parameter sets the speed at which the link and attached devices operate.
If clocking is external, the link runs at the speed of the clocking device, up to the unit's maximum rate. For the best line performance, the speed should match that of the actual link.
Range: Any speed available from the pull-down list
 

Signal Control

This option enables you to define the physical settings used to determine the port's status.
 

Multiple Flag Separation

This switch defines whether or not the port will use multiple flag separation.
Range: Enabled or Disabled
 

Virtual Ring Number

This value defines the virtual ring number assigned to the frame relay WAN. This value must be unique to the network. If possible, leave it set to 2. If you assign another number, factory-fresh units will have an additional hop.
Do not assign numbers 1 or 3, they are reserved for factory-fresh units.
Range: 001 -- FFF
 

Virtual Bridge Number

In most cases, this value should not be changed. It defines the virtual bridge number for the WAN.
Range: 1 -- 15
 

Local Management Protocol

This protocol must match the one used by the network.
Range: Annex A, Annex D, or LMI
 

Link Polling Timer (T391/nT1)

This timer determines how frequently the unit sends a full status inquiry message to the frame relay network.
Range: 5 -- 30 seconds (in increments of 5)
 

Full Status Polling Count (N391/nN1)

This value defines the number of polling intervals that must expire before transmitting a Full Status request message.\
Range: 1 -- 255 intervals
 

LLC Parameters

These values may be adjusted to fine-tune the ports performance.
 

LLC2 Frame Format

This parameter enables you to specify which LLC2 frame format the frame relay link can use.
Range: Token Ring, Ethernet Version 2, IEEE 802.3, or All
 

IP Parameters

These parameters must be defined if you intend to use IP or SNMP.
