FRN configuration options
The Frame Relay Network Interworking functions on the Patton Electronics Model 3086FR are defined by
ports and channels. It is important to understand the implementation of FRF.5 in the Model 3086FR. There
are 8 ATM Ports (called VCC or channel in FRF.5). Each port can be configured to have one channel (DLCI)
or up to 8 channels (DCLIs). The Mux Mode variable controls the selection of one-to-one or many-to-one mul-
tiplexing. When the connection multiplexing is configured for one-to-one, each port can carry one channel
(DLCI or PVC). However when many-to-one is selected, up to 8 channels (DLCIs) can be carried in one ATM
port. Since each of the 8 ports may be configured to have 8 channels, up to 64 channels (DLCIs) can be trans-
ported over the ATM network.
Figure 17 shows the organization of the ports and channels with the associated
variables in the Model 3086FR.
