3. Verify that the Frames Received and Characters Received counts under the
Frame Relay Link statistics are incrementing, and there are no errors under the
Frame Relay LMI statistics.
– If count increments occur after refreshing the screen, the unit is receiving data.
– If data is not being received, recheck the cable connections, and replace or
repair a damaged cable. Recheck LMI status; you may need to contact your
service provider. Next, check the DLCI’s status.
