Note: Depending upon your product type, this dialog may vary. This help context covers all possible configuration parameters. If your dialog does not contain certain parameters, they don't apply to the product you are configuring.
 

NAU Name

The Network Accessible Unit (NAU) name is optional. It enables you to assign a name to the port. Each NAU name must be unique to the unit.
Range: Up to 8 characters (A-Z, 0-9, @, #, or $)
 

Speed

This speed must match that of the network. If it doesn't, collisions will occur.
Range: 4 or 16 Mbps
 
Some un`its enable you to set this speed via a hardware switch.
 

MAC Address

This parameter defines the LAN port's MAC address. You may use the burned-in address, however, it is not recommended if the unit is configured to answer calls.
Configuring your own MAC address enables you to swap the unit in the event of a failure without having to reconfigure downstream devices with the new destination MAC address.
Range: 400000000001 -- 7FFFFFFFFFFF
 

Send Local Test Frame

If enabled, this feature sends a local test frame to find destinations on the local ring.
Range: Enabled or Disabled
 

Broadcast Type

This field defines the type of broadcast test frame the unit sends to a destination to determine the best route.
Range: None
 
If you select this option, make certain you enable Send Local Test Frame or session establishment cannot occur.
 
All-Routes
Transmits signals to a remote Host through all possible broadcast routes. The remote Host responds with a non-broadcast (specifically routed) frame. select this option if the DLCI to the destination is unknown or not specified.
 
Single-Route
Transmits signals to the remote Host through a single route. The remote Host responds with an all-routes broadcast frame. Select this option if the destination route has a specified DLCI.
 

Ring Number

This value defines the ring number of the LAN to which the unit connects. Bridges and routers attached to this ring must be configured with the same ring number.
Range: 001 -- FFF
Do not use ring numbers 1 -- 3, they are reserved for factory-fresh units.
 

Bridge Number

A unit attached to a Token Ring LAN represents a bridge between the physical LAN and the frame relay network's virtual ring. You must assign a unique bridge number to the physical ring.
Range: 1 -- 8
 

LLC Parameters

These parameters enable you to fine-tune your unit's performance.
 

IP Parameters

If you are using SNMP or IP management, you must configure the IP parameters for each required interface.
 

Default Gateways

This feature enables you to define one or more default gateway.
