Management PVC
Minimally, enter the following options:
– Name for the management PVC

– Primary Link for this Management PVC (the user data port)
– Primary DLCI (i.e., the data port DLCI)
4. Save the configuration.
Automatic Configuration
The FrameSaver unit provides several automatic configuration features. Frame Relay
Discovery and configuration is one of these features.
Main Menu

Auto-Configuration
The default discovery mode is 1MPort. In this mode, for each DLCI discovered on the
network, a multiplexed network DLCI and a standard data port DLCI will be configured
and connected, and a Management PVC will be embedded in the network DLCI.
NOTE:
When auto-configuration creates a multiplexed DLCI, but a standard DLCI is
needed, change the DLCI to standard from the network DLCI Records screen:

Other modes can be selected. See
Setting Up Automatic Configuration in Setup of the
User’s Guide for information about other modes and how the Frame Relay Discovery
Mode can be changed.
No automatic configuration occurs until the network cable is connected. If you do not
want management links configured or automatic configuration, change the default
setting for the Frame Relay Discovery feature.
