How To Configure Frame Relay for Internet Access

4.3.1

Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following methods.
RFC 1973 (PPP in Frame Relay)
RFC 1973 describes the use of Frame Relay for transporting PPP encapsulated packets. Please refer to RFC 1973
for more information.
RFC 1490
RFC 1490 describes Multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay encapsulation which is an encapsulation method
for carrying network interconnect traffic (both bridging and routing) over a frame relay network. It also describes a
simple fragmentation procedure for carrying large frames over a frame relay network with a smaller MTU
(Maximum Transmission Unit).

Choose User if the Prestige is on the user side
of the UNI (User Network Interface: defines the
connection between user equipment and the
Frame Relay network), i.e. if your Prestige is
connected to a service provider. Choose None
to disable Frame Relay.
Press the [SPACEBAR] and then [ENTER] to
select which standard is compatible with your
Prestige. Both the Prestige and the peer must
use the same standard. The standard defines
functions that are responsible for monitoring the
up/down status and error performance of an
individual link. If failure occurs, recovery actions
are initiated for the restoration of the failed link.
