In Line-Loop the entire T1 line is looped back, including the framing bits, CRC, and the facility data link. This happens before the framer. In Payload-Loop, only the 24 time slots are looped back, which happens behind the framer, and does not include the framing bits, CRC, and facility data link. The WPIM-T1/DDS must be in Loop-Timing mode to use this option. The default setting is None.

3.1.3 The WPIM Timeslot Conﬁguration T able

The WPIM Timeslot Conﬁguration table allows the user to conﬁgure the way in which the Cabletron Systems WAN module uses the T1 line. The conﬁguration table consists of 24 Timeslots. Each Timeslot must be assigned an Interface number (for example, 002 for an active Interface number or 000 if the Timeslot is not used). When an entire T1 line is leased, all 24 Timeslots (the full T1 bandwidth) can be used. If only a fraction of the T1 line is leased, the service provider indicates which Timeslots to use.

WPIM-T1/DDS User’s Guide 3-5

Page 30

Chapter 3: Local Management for T1 Service

Timeslots can be utilized in any way chosen. The WPIM-T1/DDS in T1 mode supports Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) allowing channelization of circuits (Timeslots) within the public network. For example, if the WPIM-T1/DDS has access to a full T1 (24 T imeslots), and the user wants to communicate with two other sites, the conﬁguration might look like that shown in Figure 3-2.

screen. Press the SPACE bar to select the number of the WPIM to be configured, then press ENTER.

Use the arrow keys to highlight the MgrType field. Configure Protocol Manager Type as either FR PtoMP or FR PtoP. There are two settings for Frame Relay, Point to Point (FR PtoP) and Point to Multipoint (PtoMP). Frame Relay Point to Point has one Interface per DLCI assigned when DLCIs are created by the Service Provider. In Frame Relay Point to Multipoint, there is one interface to multiple DLCIs, and the DLCIs are dynamically learned. Backup can only be run on FR PtoP, not FR PtoMP.

NOTE

When changing from one protocol to another on a WPIM-T1/DDS that has been operational, save NONE as the protocol before changing to another protocol.

2. Use the arrow keys to highlight Timeslot View. Press the SPACE bar

to select New, then press ENTER. The cursor moves to the first timeslot available in the Timeslot Configuration Table.

3.5.2 Frame Relay Interface Conﬁguration

Access the WAN Interface Conﬁguration screen through the WAN Physical Conﬁguration screen, by using the arrow keys to highlight the WAN INT CONFIG command, then press ENTER. Proceed with the following steps to conﬁgure the WAN Interface.

1. Set the Interface Number that is being used for the WAN connection

by typing the same number into the Interface Number field that was input into the timeslots in the WAN Physical Configuration screen, then press ENTER (refer to the Note on page 3-19). For Frame Relay PtoP, the interfaces are assigned when DLCIs are created (in this case a zero needs to be entered in this field).

2. Use the arrow keys to highlight FR LMI. Press the SPACE bar to

select ANSI_94, T1.617-D or Q.933-A, then press ENTER.

NOTE

The choice NO LMI under FR LMI is a test mode only and should not be used in a practical application.

3. Make any changes to the available settings as desired.

4. Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE, then press ENTER. The

message “SAVE DONE!” displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory.

In FR PtoP , the DLCIs must be entered statically, as they will not come up dynamically as in FR PtoMP.

In FR PtoMP, there is an option to statically enter the DLCIs in association with a Protocol Manager, the physical port and MIB II, using the DLCI ﬁeld in the Interface screen. If the DLCI is not static, it will be deleted if the Frame Relay switch determines that the DLCI has been eliminated. If the Frame Relay switch previously reported status on a DLCI, when it does not report the status of the DLCI, the DLCI and its associated information is deleted from the platform. Static entries are never deleted automatically. They must be deliberately deleted by the user. To enter a DLCI, it is set to “Inactive” and saved, but to delete a DLCI, it must be accessed and entered as “Invalid” and saved.

Frame Relay Conﬁguration

The WAN conﬁguration is complete. Communications between the WPIM-T1/DDS and the service provider’s switch takes approximately one or two minutes to complete. A status of Inactive displays on a DLCI per DLCI basis by default until both ends of the DLCI are conﬁgured correctly. Once both end devices have negotiated link management with the switches, and are conﬁgured correctly on a DLCI per DLCI basis, the status ﬁeld displays Active.
