chart shows how the ports and channels are viewed by the system:
Set Configuration Variables associated with the channels
Command: frn set port# channel # <variable> <value>
The frn set port# channel # command allows the user to set channel level variables. Note that the port num-
ber must be specified along with the channel # as described in the above chart. The following screen capture
shows the setting of the DLCI for port #5 channel #1. Note that after the channel number was input the
? key
was used to request that the system displays the possible variables that the user has access to.

Frame Relay Service Interworking (FRF.8)
FRF.8 is a conversion mechanism by which Frame Relay networks can communicate directly with ATM-based
networks. Neither the ATM nor the Frame Relay networks require any understanding of the other network
protocols involved. This conversion is performed within the Model 3086FR’s IWF at the transport service
level. Frame Relay Service Interworking functions are defined by the Frame Relay Forum specification
