5 - EIR
The Excess Information Rate (EIR) option specifies the data rate that the Frame Relay service indicates may be available
for this PVC.
This value must be set to the same as the value provided by the Frame Relay network provider.
Default:
["link_speed"]
Range:
0 to 2048 Kb, "link_speed"
Considerations:
When changing the EIR option for this PVC, the PVC must be be toggled (disable – enable option 8. State) before
the new value will take effect.
When EIR = 0, no excess burst data is allowed to be transmitted. If EIR is non-zero, bursting is allowed.
The only restriction is that CIR + EIR > 0
6 - Time Interval
The Time Interval option specifies the time period (in 10ths of a second) that the P1700 uses for monitoring PVC
bandwidth.
This value must be set to the same as the value provided by the Frame Relay network provider.
Default:
[10 1/10
Range:
10 to 40 1/10
7 - PPP Encapsulation
The PPP Encapsulation option enables the P1700 to send data to this remote site using the Point to Point Protocol
(PPP) over frame relay. When this option is disabled, the P1700 will send data to this remote site using standard RFC-
1490 frame relay frames.
Default:
[disabled]
Considerations:
When this P1700 is configured with PPP Encapsulation disabled and the remote site router has PPP enabled, this
P1700 will bring the PVC up and there will be no indication that the connection negotiation is not proceeding.
This local P1700 will indicate that the PVC is up, however there will be no traffic sent over the PVC. If the remote
site router is an router, the remote site router will continue to display the alarm "PPP connection attempt to
remote site n" until the connection is established.
8 - State
The State option toggles between [enabled] and [disabled] to activate the PVC or take the PVC out of service. You must
confirm that this is the action you wish to take by typing "yes" at the prompt.
Default:
[enabled]
