The Frame Relay main window

Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 

The Frame Relay main window also has the following links:

•

Modify—Clicking on the Modify link enables you to set-up Frame Relay or to change any configuration 
parameters (see “DLMI Window”  on page xxx). 

•

DLCI—The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) provides each PVC with a unique identifier at both 
the access server and the Frame Relay switch. Within each link (DLMI) there can be multiple Permanent 
Virtual Circuits (PVC). Each of these PVCs are point-to-point links to remote locations, and define the 
data path between the access server and the Frame Relay network. Clicking on the DLCI link displays the 
DLCI window (see 

 on page 176) that enables you to configure PVCs on the access server. 

The Data Link Management Interface number. 

Status: X (framerelStatus)
This specifies LMI Link Status. If the management DLCI (either DLCI 0 or 1023) is established, then the sta-
tus will be UP. If the management channel has not been established, the status will indicate DOWN.

The HDLC statistics on the link are defined as follows:

Transmit (Bits/Sec) (framerelTxOctets)
This statistic shows the transmit rate in bits-per-second.

Receive (Bits/Sec) (framerelRxOctets)
This statistic shows the receive rate in bits-per-second.

No Buffers Available (framerelRxNoBufferAvailable)
The number of packets received when no buffers were available.

Data Overflow (framerelRxDataOverflow)
The number of packets received with overflow (as indicated by hardware).

Message Ends (framerelRxMessageEnds)
The number of packets received with message-correct endings. This value increases each time a valid Frame 
Relay packet is received.

Packets Too Long (framerelRxPacketTooLong)
The number of packets received that were too long.

Overflow (framerelRxOverflow)
The number of packets received with overflow (as indicated by software).

Aborts (FramerelRxAbort)
The number of packets received that were aborted.
