•
To establish virtual circuits over X.25, you must enable device level security (
).
•
You may only configure one X.25 access per CyberSWITCH, and one line per access.
•
Bearer channels used by X.25 accesses can not be shared by other access types.
•
Compression is not available over X.25 connections.

To add an X.25 access, several categories of information must be configured, including basic
configuration information including line information, Link Access Procedure Balanced (LAPB)
parameters (not required for X.25 over a D-Channel), X.25 parameters, and finally, virtual circuit
parameters. A separate section for configuring each of the above categories follows.

Notes: If you are unsure of a value, select the default value if one is provided. If you want to
change an existing X.25 access configuration, select the “change” option from the main X.25
Access menu. A submenu will display the various categories described below. You can
then select to edit individual categories without paging through all of the parameters. It is
important to note that the line used for an existing X.25 access cannot be changed.
Individual characteristics of the line can change, for example, the data rate, bearers, or
Public Packet Switched Network (PPSN) phone number. If another line is to be used, the
existing access must be deleted, and added back in.
