There are generally two modes of operation for frame relay:

Virtual Link: Permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) between Integration

units which carry traffic terminated or switched at each node. The

DLCI's Level 2 Protocol must be configured for

virtual

PassThrough PVCs (permanent virtual circuits): A connection

involving two or more DLCIs which supports frame relay access

devices (FRADs). The DLCI's Level 2 Protocol must be configured for

either

Transparent

Fragmented

. Refer to PassThrough

Applications on page 433 for additional information.

In this application, there are two DLCIs for each PVC. These may be increased if

the number of virtual links is decreased.

Note: The maximums given are for a frame relay only application. In a hybrid network

(frame relay and interconnect links) the numbers may vary. Contact your MI-
COM Certified Distributor for additional information.
