4.7.2.2.1 Flow ID Number Rules
4.7.2.2.2 Cross Connecting Rules and Guidelines
Follow the Flow ID Number Rules carefully to prevent loss of traffic.
The Flow ID number entered by the operator on the P32E1DS1/P2E3DS3 (DS1/DS3) pro-
visioning screen is one of the parameters the software management uses to determine
source, destination, and direction of the DS1/DS3 port when the data is switched in the
CSM. The following rules apply to the Flow ID:
1.
Number is unique to the entire network. It cannot be used in any other
radio or hop in the network.
2.
Range of Flow ID numbers from which to choose is determined by total num-
ber of Flow ID's in the network. Refer to
there are fewer than 256 crossconnects in the network, select Flow ID from
the Less Than or Equal To 256 Range. If there are more than 256 but less
than 512 crossconnects, select Flow ID from the More Than 256, Less Than
512 Range.
