Frame Relay Physical Configuration
Begin the HSIM or CyberSWITCH physical configuration by accessing the WAN Physical
Configuration screen through Local Management (
Configuration screen through Local Management (
). Proceed with the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the [WPIM X] field at the bottom of the screen. Press the
SPACE bar to select the number of the WPIM to be configured, then press ENTER.

2.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the MgrType field. Configure the Protocol Manager Type as
either Frame Relay Point to Multipoint (FR PtoMP), or Point to Point (FR PtoP).
either Frame Relay Point to Multipoint (FR PtoMP), or Point to Point (FR PtoP).
FR PtoMP and FR PtoP are the two settings for Frame Relay. 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. When backing Up a Frame Relay Primary circuit it is best to configure the Frame Relay
protocol manager for Point to Point mode. If the Primary Frame Relay interface has only one
DLCI it can work in Point to Multi-Point mode.

The concept of a Manager for each configured protocol also exists. Each physical connection has
one or more (more if a protocol is encapsulated, such as PPP encapsulated within ISDN) Protocol
Managers that control protocol operation.

Point to MultiPoint Configuration (LM WAN Physical Configuration)
1.
Set the MgrType to FR PtoMP.
2.
If more than 32 DLCIs are required, set the Max VCs value (up to a maximum of 125 on the
CSX400/HSIM-W6).

The next IF will display the value that should be entered into the timeslots, if T1 or E1. This

should be done now.
4.
Configure any other required physical parameters for that interface. Such as: Sync Port Type,
or clock speeds (Sync WPIM), T1 or E1 timeslot configurations etc. REMEMBER: if using the
Sync WPIM, always manually setup the Sync Clock Speeds to match the actual line
configurations.

NOTE
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
more PVCs/DLCIs exist than the default MAX VC value will allow, the MAX VCs may
be changed.
