Configuration: Frame RelayLocal Management User’s Guide2-25Frame Relay Physical ConfigurationBegin the HSIM or CyberSWITCH physical configuration by accessing the WAN PhysicalConfiguration screen through Local Management (Figure 2-6). Proceed with the following steps:1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the [WPIM X] field at the bottom of the screen. Press theSPACE 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 aseither 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 oneInterface per DLCI assigned when DLCIs are created by the Service Provider. In Frame RelayPoint to Multipoint, there is one interface to multiple DLCIs, and the DLCIs are dynamicallylearned. When backing Up a Frame Relay Primary circuit it is best to configure the Frame Relayprotocol manager for Point to Point mode. If the Primary Frame Relay interface has only oneDLCI it can work in Point to Multi-Point mode.The concept of a Manager for each configured protocol also exists. Each physical connection hasone or more (more if a protocol is encapsulated, such as PPP encapsulated within ISDN) ProtocolManagers 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 theCSX400/HSIM-W6).3. The next IF will display the value that should be entered into the timeslots, if T1 or E1. Thisshould 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 theSync WPIM, always manually setup the Sync Clock Speeds to match the actual lineconfigurations.NOTEThe MAX VC value associated with a physical WAN interface is set to a default valuebased on the number of possible ports available and the protocol manager selected. Ifmore PVCs/DLCIs exist than the default MAX VC value will allow, the MAX VCs maybe changed.
