Configuring PVCs
An FRX8000 PVC is a “permanent” connection between two remote subscriber ports.
This allows communication between the attached devices as soon as they are powered
up, without having to first make a call to establish a connection.
To add or change a PVC, press [C] , then [C] again from the Connections and Routing
Paths Selection Menu (or [A], [F], [C], [C] from the Main Menu). When prompted,
enter:
●
Connection ID : 0–9999 , a number unique to this connection.
●
Any other requested information, referring to Table 8-3 .

When Changes Take Effect
When you add a new PVC record, the change will be written to the database as soon
as you enter the final parameter value. When you modify a parameter in an existing
record, the change will be written to the database instantly.
The virtual connection will be established when the nodes at both ends undergo
re-IPL. If you want to establish a connection without disrupting node operation, create
an identical PVC on line. Press
[D] at the Operations Menu (or [B], [D] from the Main
Menu) and enter the requested information, noting the values in Table 8-3 . (This is
described in detail under “ Creating/Deleting a PVC On Line ” on page 8-9.)
