Introduction
The Prestige converts frame relay/HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) frames to ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) cells from the LAN to the WAN and vice-versa via channels. The encapsulation type you
select, when configuring individual channels, determines the how frames/cells are converted.

3.1.1 Configuration Requirements
The VPI/VCI (Virtual Path Identifier/Virtual Circuit Identifier) and DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier)
numbers are similar to telephone numbers in that they specify the channel and destination that traffic will
use. To learn more about channels and the topology of VCs (Virtual Circuits) refer to the Virtual Circuit
Topology Appendix.
