WPIM Line Configuration Fields  
The configuration fields displayed on the WAN Physical Configuration  
screen shown in Figure 3-1 are specific to the T1 mode of the  
WPIM-RT1.  
The service provider (i.e., AT&T, Sprint, MCI, Bell Atlantic, etc.)  
determines the settings for the following fields. Consult the  
NOTE  
service provider for the correct settings.  
T1 Timeslot View (Toggle)  
Displays the status of the Timeslot Configuration Table. This field toggles  
between Active and New. The field comes up with the default setting  
Active. The Active setting displays current Timeslot Configuration table  
settings. The New setting allows you to change Timeslot Configuration  
table settings. The default setting for the Timeslot Configuration table is  
all Timeslots not assigned (000).  
T1 Line Coding (Toggle)  
Displays the line coding for the physical T1 line. This field toggles  
between B8ZS and AMI. The default setting is B8ZS.  
T1 Frame Type (Toggle)

T1 Loopback (Selectable)  
Network Loopback is a testing procedure that segments the line and  
allows the user to isolate faults. The selections for this field are None,  
Line-Loop, and Payload-Loop. In Line-Loop the entire T-1 line is looped  
back, including the framing bits, CRC, and the facility data link. This  
happens before the framer. In Payload-Loop, only the 24 time slots are  
looped back, which happens behind the framer, and does not include the  
framing bits, CRC, and facility data link. The WPIM-RT1 must be in  
Loop-Timing mode to use this option. The default setting is None.  
3.1.3  
WPIM Timeslot Configuration Table  
The WPIM Timeslot Configuration table allows the user to configure the  
way in which the Cabletron WAN module uses the T1 line. The  
configuration table consists of 24 Timeslots. Each Timeslot must be  
assigned an Interface number (for example, 002 for an active Interface  
number or 000 if the Timeslot is not used). When an entire T1 line is  
leased, all 24 Timeslots (the full T1 bandwidth) can be used. If only a  
fraction of the T1 line is leased, the service provider indicates which  
Timeslots to use.  
Timeslots can be utilized in any way chosen. The WPIM-RT1 supports  
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) allowing channelization of circuits  
(Timeslots) within the public network. For example, if the WPIM-RT1  
has access to a full T1 (24 Timeslots), and the user wants to communicate  
with two other sites, the configuration might look like the one shown in  
Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-3 shows a sample configuration for three sites. Of the 24  
Timeslots, Site #1 uses 16 to communicate with Site #2 and the remaining  
8 to communicate with Site #3. This configuration varies tremendously  
depending on how the service provider maps out the T1 Timeslots. The  
service provider indicates which Timeslots are active.

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the [WPIM X] field at the bottom of  
the screen. Press the SPACE bar to select the number of the WPIM to  
be configured, then press ENTER.  
Use the arrow keys to highlight the MgrType field. Configure Protocol  
Manager Type as either FR PtoMP or FR PtoP. There are two settings for  
Frame Relay, Point-to-Point (FR PtoP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PtoMP).  
Frame Relay Point-to-Point has one Interface per DLCI assigned when  
DLCIs are created by the Service Provider. In Frame Relay  
Point-to-Multipoint, there is one interface to multiple DLCIs, and the  
DLCIs are dynamically learned. Backup can only be run on FR PtoP, not  
FR PtoMP.  
When changing from one protocol to another on a WPIM-RT1  
that has been operational, save NONE as the protocol before  
NOTE  
changing to another protocol.  
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight Timeslot View. Press the SPACE bar  
to select New, then press ENTER. The cursor moves to the first  
timeslot available in the Timeslot Configuration Table.

being used. Type the number, press ENTER, then exit this field by  
using the arrow keys. The cursor automatically moves to the T1 Line  
Coding field.  
The value assigned to the timeslots is the interface being used  
for WAN communication. Only one interface can be assigned to  
NOTE  
the timeslot when running Frame Relay.  
The next four steps are based on information supplied by the service  
provider. Consult the service provider for the correct settings.  
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Line Coding. Press the SPACE bar  
to select B8ZS or AMI, then press ENTER.  
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Frame Type. Press the SPACE bar  
to select ESF or D4, then press ENTER.  
6. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Tx Clock Source. Press the  
SPACE bar to select Local (no clock source provided by telephone  
company) or Loop (clock source provided by telephone company),  
then press ENTER.  
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Line Buildout (LBO). Press the  
SPACE bar to select to 0 dB unless the service provider recommends  
another setting, then press ENTER.  
8. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command, then press  
ENTER. The message “SAVE DONE!” displays and Local  
Management saves the changes to memory. “REBOOT IN  
PROGRESS......” displays and the host platform reboots. Re-entry to  
management is necessary for any further configuration.  
9. Proceed to Section 3.5.2 to continue the configuration.

Frame Relay Interface Configuration  
Access the WAN Interface Configuration screen through the WAN  
WAN INT CONFIG command, then press ENTER. Proceed with the  
following steps to configure the WAN Interface.  
1. Set the Interface Number that is being used for the WAN connection  
by typing the same number into the Interface Number field that was  
input into the timeslots in the WAN Physical Configuration screen,  
then press ENTER (see the Notes on page 3-19). For Frame Relay  
PtoP: The interfaces are assigned when DLCIs are created (in this case  
a zero needs to be entered in this field).  
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight FR LMI. Press the SPACE bar to  
select ANSI_94, T1.617-D or Q.933-A, then press ENTER.  
The choice NO LMI under FR LMI is a test mode only and  
should not be used in a practical application.  
NOTE  
3. Make any changes to the available settings as desired.  
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE, then press ENTER. The  
message “SAVE DONE!” displays and Local Management saves the  
changes to memory.  
In FR PtoP, the DLCIs must be entered statically, as they will not come up  
dynamically as in FR PtoMP.  
In FR PtoMP, there is an option to statically enter the DLCIs in  
association with a Protocol Manager, the physical port and MIB II, using  
the DLCI field in the Interface screen. If the DLCI is not static, it will be  
deleted if the Frame Relay switch determines that the DLCI has been  
eliminated. If the Frame Relay switch previously reported status on a  
DLCI, when it does not report the status of the DLCI, the DLCI and its  
associated information is deleted from the platform. Static entries are  
never deleted automatically. They must be deliberately deleted by the  
user. To enter a DLCI, it is set to “Inactive” and saved, but to delete a  
DLCI, it must be accessed and entered as “Invalid” and saved.

Frame Relay Configuration  
The WAN configuration is complete. Communications between the  
WPIM-RT1 and the service provider’s switch takes approximately one or  
two minutes to complete. A status of Inactive displays on a DLCI per  
DLCI basis by default until both ends of the DLCI are configured  
correctly. Once both end devices have negotiated link management with  
the switches, and are configured correctly on a DLCI per DLCI basis, the  
status field displays Active.
