FastPAD Commands

FastPAD Command Introduction

The FastPAD commands are a set of commands concerned with configuring a FastPAD multiplexer for interconnection via your IPX network. FastPADs are interconnected via IPX Frame Relay Service PVCs. FastPAD/IPX interconnection requires the use of an FTC front card and FTI back card on the IPX. The FastPAD is connected to the FTI card installed in the IPX. The FRP/FRI cards provide the adaptation layer to convert data between Frame Relay format and IPX FastPacket format. In addition, since the Frame Relay/FastPAD connectivity is an option, this option must be enabled for your system software.

The FastPAD acts as a feeder into the IPX. The FastPAD encapsulates this traffic into FastPAD type frames and transmits it over frame relay PVCs. These PVCs are transmitted over a FastPAD trunk that feeds into an IPX frame relay port on an FTC/FTI card set. FastPAD connections are mapped to frame relay virtual circuits within the IPX, switched to the remote IPX, and delivered to the remote FastPAD.

There are five types of FastPAD connections: switched voice connections, permanent voice connections, data connections, frame relay connections, and frame forwarding connections. FAX connections are not a separate connection type. They are transmitted over switched voice or voice connections. When a FAX connection is required, the FastPAD automatically detects the FAX transmission and suppresses the use of any voice compression algorithms. A voice, data, or FAX connection from one FastPAD must always terminate on another FastPAD. Frame relay and frame forwarding traffic may be terminated on another FastPAD or on an FRP in an IPX.

The FastPAD connects to an IPX via an FTC/FTI card set on the IPX, where the FTC is the front card and the FTI is the back card. There are four types of FTI back cards: V.35, X.21, T1, and E1.

Initial FastPAD configuration is performed at the FastPAD with either the StrataView FastPAD, FastPAD FP Tools, or by replacing the FastPAD FlashPak. Following this, the FastPAD composite link (to the IPX) configuration and connection configuration is performed by using the IPX commands described in this appendix.

FastPAD Description Summary

The FastPAD always contains a base card and may also contain expansion cards. The base card is designated "b", while the expansion cards are designated 1-5 for the FastPAD Micro and 1-8 on the standard FastPAD. The expansion ports can contain either Voice FAX Cards (VFC-03) or Frame Relay Access Modules (FRAM-01).

The base card on the FastPAD Micro supports a composite port for connection to the IPX, one high-speed data port, one low-speed data port, and an NMS port (for a PC running the StrataView FastPAD NMS application). The base card on the standard FastPAD supports a composite port for connection to the IPX, one high-speed data port, five low-speed data ports, and an NMS port (Figure 17-1). When adding connections to the FastPAD base card ports, the letter "b" is used for slot designation. When adding connections to the FastPAD expansion cards, a number 1 through 8 is used, as applicable.

Voice connections are supported by adding VFC-03 cards. Each VFC-03 card provides the choice of connecting to either a RJ45 or RJ11 connector. On the VFC-03, there are three available modes selectable by software: Off Premise Extension (OPX), Single Line Telephone (SLT), and E & M. The VFC-03 supports Adaptive Transform Coding (ATC) voice compression algorithm. The VFC-03 supports other voice compression algorithms, e.g., CELP. The VFC-01 may not be installed in the same chassis as the VFC-03, and its operating mode must be manually switched between OPX, SLT, and E & M.

The Frame Relay Access Module (FRAM-01) provides three high-speed data ports in addition to the one on the base circuit card. The FRAM has a single DB-68 connector which can be converted to three DB-25 connectors through the use of an adapter cable.

There can be multiple FRAMs, however only one can be configured for a Frame Relay switch. The others can only be used for data connections. On the FRAM used for Frame Relay connections, one port is configured for a composite port, and the other two ports are configured to interface to CPE such as routers with frame relay interfaces, for example (Figure 17-2). One of the ports on the FRAM is used for a composite port since the baseboard composite port data rate is considerably slower. If a FRAM port is defined as the composite port (line interface to the IPX), the base board composite port (line) is disabled.

Configuration Summary

In setting up FastPAD connections across a network, a number of tasks need to be perfomed. These include the following:

Install the FTC card.
Set up Frame Relay parameters for the composite link between the FTC and the FastPAD.
Configure the V.35 and X.21 ports, as necessary.
Up and configure the T1/E1 ports, as necessary.
Configure the composite link between the IPX and the FastPAD.
Add the FastPAD to the local IPX node.
Set up the appropriate connections: switched voice, permanent voice, CELP voice, low-speed data, high-speed data, frame relay, or frame forwarding.
Manage the Bandwidth requirements.

General Considerations

Y-Cable Redundancy

The Y cable redundancy feature is supported for the FTC card, using the addyred, delyred, dspyred and prtyred commands. See the Node Commands chapter for details on setting up redundancy. The FTC/FTI card set supports V.35, X.21, T1, and E1 ports by the use of the corresponding four different FTI back cards

Managing FTC T1 and E1 Ports

Logical frame relay ports are collections of DS0 timeslots that function as a port. They support up to 252 connections. The LMI signalling protocol is simultaneously supported on a maximum of 30 logical ports.

The addftcport and delftcport commands are used to create/delete logical ports. The addftcport command associates a line number and DS0 timeslot to a logical port. Any number of contiguous DS0 timeslots are optionally associated to form a logical port with the restriction of channel 16, which is used for signalling for E1. Logical ports are formed with DS0 timeslots configured for either 56 or 64 Kbps. The cnfftcport command may be used to configure the port.

Line Management for FTC T1 and E1 Lines

FTC circuit line operations are included in the commands upln, upcln, dnln, and dncln. An FTI line can be configured as a network clock source with the command cnfclksrc.

Unassigned Channel Signaling

Unassigned channel signals are transmitted on a channel which is not mapped to a logical port. Data code values 0x7F and 0x54 apply to the T1 and E1 channels. Signalling values 1111 and 1101 apply to T1/E1 ABCD signaling channels.

IPX and FastPAD Control Setup

The FastPAD can be monitored and managed by the IPX through a control connection. This connection is a frame relay PVC connection between the CC on the IPX and the configuration application on the FastPAD. To configure the control connection:

Use the dspftcport command to display the FTC port parameters. Verify that the parameters of the FTC port (speed, clocking, port queue depth, ECN queue depth, and update protocol ID) match those of the FastPAD trunk port.
Use the addfp command to add a FastPAD to the local IPX node. With this command, specify the slot and port of the FTC card connected to the FastPAD, a name for the FastPAD, FastPAD ID, and the source DLCI (used to communicate with the FastPAD).

Initial Setup of FTC card and FastPAD Link

This section describes the steps for setting up the FTC card and FastPAD link.

Activating the FTC port providing the link to the FastPAD.

The ports on the FTC card for V.35 and X.21 interfaces are upped automatically. The ports for T1 and E1 cards must be added using the addftcport command. The T1 and E1 ports are configured for logical channels by specifying groups of DS0s. If the port is not up, use the upftcport command to up it.
Configuring an FTC port with the cnfftcport command. If the port is not up, use the upftcport command to up it. For release 8.4, the cnfftcport command is modified to include the DE threshold. There are two separate sets of syntax parameters, one for all ports except T1/E1 ports and the other for T1/E1 ports. In summary these are:

For non-T1/E1 ports (e.g., V.35, X.21)

cnfftcport FTC_slot.port  speed  port_type  port_ID  port_Q_depth         
           ecnq_thresh  DE_thresh signalling_protocol

For T1/E1 ports, after adding the logical ports with the addftcport command, configure each port:

cnfftcport  FTC_slot.port   txq_depth  ecnq_depth  DE Threshold 
            updt_prot_id

Linking the FastPAD to the IPX. Once an FTC port has been configured, the FastPAD can be linked to the IPX using the addfp command:

addfp FTC_slot.port name ID source_DLCI

where name is up to eight characters to identify FastPAD, and ID must match the value entered at the FastPAD front panel (source DLCI = [S x 16] + P).

Note Once communications have been established between the IPX and a FastPAD, the FastPAD is locked. The FastPAD may be unlocked with a power reset or reboot. Communications must be re-established after changes have been made locally on the FastPAD. This can be done with the restartfp command.

Line Management

The upln and dnln commands are used to bring the line up and down, respectively.

Feeder Management

Managing the FastPAD
- The dspfp command displays the status of the cards in a FastPAD including expansion cards.
- The resetfp command resets the FastPAD. This should be done with caution, as traffic is interrupted.
Configuring FastPAD Data Ports

Two commands are used to configure FastPAD data ports. These are cnfdclk and cnfict. cnfdclk sets the data mode (transparent, H/SDLC, or asynchronous) and the clock mode (internal or external). cnfict allows limited control lead mapping from one data port to another.

Note The cnfdclk and cnfict commands are used to configure the parameters most often changed by the user. The superuser command cnffpport allows changing of all FastPAD data port parameters.

Configuring FastPAD Voice Ports and Channels

Two commands are used to configure FastPAD voice ports and connections. These are cnfvchtp and cnfchgn. The cnfvchtp command defines interface type, signalling, SLT timeout period, and DTME detect timeout. The cnfchgn command configures the input gain and output gain values.

Note The cnfvchtp and cnfchgn commands are used to configure the parameters most often changed by the user. The superuser command cnffpport allows changing of all voice channel parameters.

Configuring and Displaying FastPAD Frame Relay Ports. Frame Relay connections can be made between a FastPAD and another FastPAD via FTCs over an IPX network, or between a FastPAD via an FTC over an IPX Network to an FRP termination on an IPX. FastPAD frame relay ports are configured on the FRAM-01 card. Typically, of the three ports on the FRAM-01 card, up to two may be connected to Frame Relay routers, and the third is used as the composite link to the IPX. Multiple FRAM-01 cards may be installed, but only one may be configured with Frame Relay ports for Frame Relay connections. Applicable commands for configuring and displaying FastPAD Frame Relay ports on a FRAM-01 are: cnffrport, dspfrport, upfrport, and dnfrport. Their syntax is summarized in the following:

cnffrport  FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port  [port_speed  rcv_clk_type
           xmt_clock_type  signalling_protocol  protocol_parameters
           data_coding
dspfrport  FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port 
upfrport   FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port 
dnpfrport  FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port

Setting Up FastPAD Switched Voice Connections

Before two FastPADs can establish switched voice connections, they must be paired or associated to each other. Once paired, a PVC is created within the two FastPADs. Switched voice connections or sessions are established over this PVC. Each switched voice session does not have a dedicated PVC. Any FastPAD voice channel that has not been assigned a dedicated or permanent voice connection can be used for a switched voice connection. To set up a FastPAD switched voice connection:

First configure the voice channel at each FastPAD. The channel is expressed as FTC_slot.port where FTC_slot is the FTC card slot and port is the FTC port connected to the FastPAD. The configurable parameters and their associated commands are as follows:

	cnfchgn	Configures the channel gain. This command allows the gain inserted in the receive and transmit directions to be adjusted to between -31 dB to +6 dB in 1 dB increments.
	cnfchutl	Configures the channel utilization. See the Routing and Bandwidth commands chapter.
	cnfvfpchtp	Configures the FastPAD voice channel interface type. This command configures the telecommunications interface type.

Use the addcon command.

Setting Up FastPAD CELP8K or CELP 4.8K Voice Connections

Rel. 8.4 supports CELP-based voice connections that terminate on a pair of VCF03s and CELP-based switched voice connections between a pair of FastPADs. The compression type, e.g., CELP-8k is not configurable from the IPX.

FastPAD Data Rate Summary

FastPAD Data Traffic

The base board low-speed data ports support the following:

Asynchronous rates between 300 and 9600 bps
Synchronous data rates between 1.2 and 19.2 kbps
DCE RS-232 Interface

The base board high-speed data port supports the following:

Synchronous data rates between 1.2 and 64 kbps
DCE or DTE compatibility
RS-232, RS-449, V.34, and V.11 interfaces

The optional FRAM high-speed ports support the following:

Synchronous data rates between 1.2 and 512 kbps
DCE or DTE compatibility
RS-232, RS-449, V.35, and V.11 interfaces
Frame Relay Traffic (one port used for connection to IPX, two used for connection to CPE)

Setting Up FastPAD Permanent Voice Connections

To set up a permanent FastPAD voice connection, you merely pair two FastPAD voice channels.

First configure the voice channel at each FastPAD. For permanent voice connections, the channel is expressed as FTC_slot.port.FP_slot, where FTC_ slot is the FTC card slot; port is the FTC port connected to the FastPAD; and FP_slot is the voice expansion card slot on the FastPAD. The configurable parameters and their associated commands are as follows:

	cnfchgn	Configures the channel gain. This command allows the gain inserted in the receive and transmit directions to be adjusted to between -31 dB to +6 dB in 1 dB increments.
	cnfchutl	Configures channel utilization. See the Routing and Bandwidth Commands chapter.
	cnfvfpchtp	Configures the FastPAD voice channel interface type. This Command configures the telecommunications interface type.

Use the addcon command. The above configuration must have been completed at each end before the connection can be added.

Setting Up FastPAD Data Connections

To set up a permanent FastPAD data connection, perform the following tasks.

First configure the data channel at each FastPAD. The channel is expressed as FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port, where FTC_slot is the FTC card slot; port is the FTC port connected to the FastPAD; FP_slot is the card slot on the FastPAD; and port is the data channel on the FastPAD card. The configurable parameters and their associated commands are as follows:

	cnfcondsc	Configures the connection descriptor.
	cnfdclk	Configures the clocking for the data channel.
	cnfict	Configures the interface control template that determines the output lead behavior for data channels. Output leads can be configured as steady state (on or off) or can be programmed to follow an input lead. For the FastPAD, there is only one template-the active template.
	cnfchutl	Configures channel utilization. See the Routing and Bandwidth Commands chapter.

Use the addcon command. The above configuration must have been completed at each end before the connection can be added.

Setting Up Normal Frame Relay Connections

The FastPAD, in conjunction with the IPX, provides frame relay connections of CPE (routers, bridges, packet switches, etc.) via PVCs. The CPE is connected to the FRAM-01 card that supports Frame Relay. The FTI back card (V.35, X.21, T1, or E1) performs the adapter layer function to convert between the FastPAD special frame format and FastPackets.

The CPE transmits data to the FRAM-01 based upon the core functions of Q.922 (LAPD). The FastPAD scans the first two octets of the DLCI and forwards the frame to the destination CPE via the IPX.

For adding/deleting connections, the following commands are used:

addcon
delcon

Use the addcon command to add the desired frame relay connections to the FRAM-01 card, using the appropriate frame class and configuring the bandwidth parameters as applicable.

addcon  local_chan(s)  node  chan  class  [frp_bw  avoid]
chan(s) = FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port.DLCI
frp_bw = MIR/MIR  VC-Q/VC_Q  PIR/PIR  Cmax/Cmax  ECNQ_thresh/ECNQ_thresh
         QIR/QIR  FST  %util/%util

Note These parameters have the same value options as defined for the cnffrcls command currently supported for FRP ports.

delcon  channel(s)
channels = FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port.DLCI

For a large number of connections with similar bandwidth configuration, it may be useful to use the cnffrcls command to set up a class of frame relay bandwidth parameters applicable to these connections. See also dspfrcls.

Frame Forwarding Connections

Frame forwarding connections allow the connection of non-frame relay frames (HDLC and SDLC). Frame forwarding for FastPAD to FastPAD may be configured on either the FastPAD base card or FRAM-01 expansion card. However, for Rel. 8.4, frame forwarding from FastPAD to FRP is limited to the data ports on the FRAM-01 expansion card.

NOTE: The FTC port ID cannot be changed to a different value if a frame forwarded connection exists between the attached FastPAD and an FRP. This is because the FTC port ID is used as a unique identifier in the FTC card's logical connection entry.

Managing Bandwidth

The following commands assist in managing bandwidth to achieve satisfactory traffic patterns.

cnfcos	Specifies a class of service (COS) for a data or voice channel. The COS is a number from 0 to 15 that determines the channel's priority for rerouting in a trunk fails.
cnfpref	Specifies preferred routing for intra-domain connections. This command can be used to assist in balancing the load on the network's trunks.
dsprts, prtrts	Displays/prints the current connection routing information. Used in conjunction with the cnfpref command. The display of the connection routes terminates at the IPX.
dncon, upcon	Temporarily downs/ups connections of a specified COS, thus releasing bandwidth for other services. Often it is possible to down some voice connections to provide more bandwidth for data and frame relay connections.

Monitoring Alarms and Statistics

Displaying Alarms. The dspalms command display includes failed connections and card failures. Line alarms are mapped to FTC port/FastPAD alarms. LMI failures show minor alarms on connections.
Statistics: For Release 8.4, FastPAD level statistics are not integrated in the IPX's statistics collections. The FTC card does collect statistics on the PVCs associated with the feeder channels within the IPX. The following statistics are available:

Frames received and transmitted, packets received and transmitted, bytes received and transmitted, receive and transmit frames discarded, receive and transmit packets discarded, and receive and transmit bytes discarded.

Applicable commands are: cnfchstats, dspchstats, clrchstats, dspchstatscnf, dspchstathist. The format is the same as in previous releases, except that the target frame relay port is specified as:

FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port.DLCI

General FastPAD Information

FastPAD Data Types

There are three data channel types and one Frame Relay Type on the FastPAD (Figure 17-3).

Table 17-1: Port and Channel Types

Port Type	Transparent	H/SDLC	Asynchronous	Frame Relay
Base-board low speed	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Base-board high speed	Yes	Yes	No	No
FRAM high speed	No	Yes	No	Yes

Transparent: The transparent mode is used for synchronous data applications. In order to reduce bandwidth utilization on the Composite Link, the FastPAD suppresses repeating patterns. After a synchronous data frame is built, the FastPAD searches for repeating patterns within the frame. The first occurrence of a repeating pattern of at least five in length is reduced to three octets and the smaller frame if sent out across the Composite Link. This process is called Run Length Compression (RLC).

H/SDLC: High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC)_ are synchronous data protocols. SDLC is a subset of HDLC that was developed for use on SNA networks. The FastPAD recognizes HDLC frames and arranges them into 65 byte segments to be packetized into frame relay frames. All HDLC frames are separated by hexadecimal 7E flags. The FastPAD suppresses inter-HDLC frame idle flags to reduce utilization on the composite link.

Async: In asynchronous mode, the data channel protocol is preset to 8-bit characters with no parity and one stop bit, which cannot be changed. However, 7-bit protocols with parity can be used and the FastPAD forwards the parity bit as the eighth data bit. In order to reduce bandwidth use, frames are not generated during idle periods, and start and stop bits are not included in the frame. There is a configurable time period that the FastPAD waits to receive data from an asynchronous device before sending a frame that is 66 bytes long. This ensures propagation through the network with minimal delay.

Data Frame Format

The data traffic on the composite link of the FASTPAD is encapsulated into frames. FastPAD frames with synchronous data contain 65 data bytes, and frames with asynchronous data contain data bytes. Data frames may be shorter in some cases. Data frames may be marked as discard eligible.

The composite link can connect a FastPAD to a wide area network (e.g. IPX) or to another FastPAD. The Frame Relay network can be either public or private.

The standard frame relay format is shown in Figure 17-3. The standard frame relay format can be between 5 and 4096 bytes in length. There is at least one hex 7E lag between consecutive frames. On the composite link, the frame lengths used by the FastPAD can have up to 65 bytes of synchronous data, 66 bytes of asynchronous data, or between 5 and 4096 bytes of frame relay connection data.

addcon

Adds channel connections between entities in the network. The same command with differing syntax may be used to add voice connections, data connections, frame relay connections or FastPAD voice, switched voice, or data connections. This command establishes channel connections between entities in the network. This format of the command adds a FastPAD voice, switched voice or data connection. The same command with differing syntax can be used to add different types of network connections. After a connection is added with the addcon command, the connection is routed automatically by the system.

The node where the addcon command is entered is considered the "owner" of the added connections. The concept of ownership is important because automatic rerouting and preferred routing information for a connection must be entered from the node that owns the connection. See the cnfpref and cnfcos commands for more information on automatic rerouting. Before a connection is added, the proposed connection appears on the screen and you are asked to confirm the addition.

For frame relay connections, the addcon syntax is:

: addcon local chan(s) node chan class [optional params = frp_bw avoid]

The frp_bw parameters have the same parameter values options as defined in the cnffrcl command for the frp ports. These are:

frp_bw = MIR/MIR VC_Q/VC_Q PIR/PIR Cmax/Cmax ECNQ_thresh/ECNQ_thresh

: QIR/QIR %util/%util descr

avoid = s/z

local chan = the local FastPAD frame relay channel with format:

: FTCslot.FRCport.FastPADsubslot.FastPADsubport[.DLCI | .*]

node = remote node name

chan = frame relay channel at the other end of the connection and has the following syntax

: For FastPAD destination:
: FTC_slot.port.FP_slot.port [.DLCI | .*
: For FRP destination:
: FRP_slot.port [.DLCI | .*

Note If the connection is from FRP port to FastPAD, reverse the chan and local channel parameters in this example.

class = Class of Service

addfp

Adds a FastPAD to the IPX network. This enables the local IPX to map the FastPAD to an FTC port and communicate with it over a frame relay PVC to establish a control session. The addfp command defines the IPX slot and port to which the FastPAD is connected and assigns the FastPAD a unique name and ID. (The name and ID must be unique to the local node, and ID must match the value entered at the control panel of the FastPAD). This command also assigns a source (FastPAD) DLCI to identify the PVC connection over which the devices communicate. If the port speed and related parameters on the FTC card match those of the composite link of the FastPAD, the IPX establishes a control session with the FastPAD, allowing configuration management to be performed over this session.

channel	Specifies the data channel to configure. Data channels are specified in the format slot.port.subslot.subport, where slot and port are the slot/port of the FTC card, subslot is the FastPAD card slot (1-8 for expansion, b for the base card), and subport is the port/channel on a FastPAD data card. The base card supports six ports/channels (1-5 are low speed, 6 is high speed). Other data cards support three ports/channels (1-3).
data mode	Specifies the data transmission mode as either: TRANS transparent data transmission DLC H/SDLC data transmission ASYNC Asynchronous data transmission
clock type	Specifies a clocking type to assign to each channel. Valid clock types are: i Internal (FastPAD provides transmit/receive clocks.) e External (FastPAD provides transmit/receive clocks.)

cnffrport

Configures the parameters of a frame relay port. When configuring a frame relay port on a FastPAD, the user is prompted for each parameter. Pressing the Return key keeps the current value for the parameter. The screen display is shaded for parameters not configurable for some applications. The data rates for each of the four ports may be mixed and matched freely if the total for all four ports does not exceed the maximum data rate allowed (up to 512 Kbps.).

The rules for assigning data rates to the four ports when using the 1 Mbps FRI are as follows:

If a data rate of 672 Kbps or above is used in any port, no other port may be used.
If a data rate of between 384 Kbps and 512 Kbps is used in any port, a second port may be used at an available data rate of 512 Kbps or below.
If a data rate of 336 Kbps is used in any port, two other ports may used at any available data rates of 336 Kbps or below.
If the data rate of any port does not exceed 256 Kbps, all four ports may be used at any available data rates of 256 Kbps or below.

monitored events count	Specifies the number of monitored events for the "keep alive" process. It has an accepted range of 0-255 and a valid range of 1-10. A port communication fail condition is cleared after this number of successful polling cycles. A value of 0 defaults to 1, and a value more than 10 defaults to 10.
communicate priority	Specifies whether the connections SNA priority (H or L) should be communicated to the user device attached to the port. Valid entries are y (yes) or n (no); default is no.
upper/lower RNR threshold	Specifies the receiver not ready thresholds. Upper threshold is the number of receiver not ready indications from the user equipment before alarm is generated for this port. The lower receiver not ready threshold is the number of indications from the user equipment before an alarm is cleared. Valid values are 1-255; defaults to 75 for upper, 25 for lower threshold.
min. flags/frame	Specifies the minimum number of flags between frames. All values greater than 0 are valid and the default is 1.
OAM FastPacket threshold	Specifies the OAM FastPackets are used within the local IPX network to transmit the NNI status from the remote network. This counter allows the user to define the number of dropped OAM packets before setting A-bit transmitted to the user device to 0 to indicate connection failure. This can be set from 0 to 15 packets and the default is 3 packets. A 0 disables this function. Set for both UNI and NNI ports.
link integrity timer (T391)	Specifies the interval to send Status Inquiry messages across the NNI port. This will result in a report of all failed connections. This can be set for 5-30 seconds and the default is 6 sec. Both networks must have the same value set for T391.
full status polling cycle (N391)	Specifies the interval to send the Full Status Report request for all PVCs across the NNI port. This can be set for 1-255 polling cycles and the default is 10 cycles. The Full Status reports the status of all the connections, failed or not, across the NNI.
card type	Specifies the card type (within a job only). This parameter is entered just after slot.port. The valid entries include V.35, X.21, port, and LINE with LINE indicating a T1 or E1 line. This parameter is not required in normal use of the command.
CLLM status Tx Timer	Specifies the interval to send ForeSight congestion messages across the NNI port. Can be set for 40 to 350 ms. and the default is 100 sec. Both networks must be StrataCom networks.

delcon

Deletes a FastPAD connection. All FastPAD connection types can be deleted with this command, including switched voice, voice and data connections. When you enter the delcon command, a prompt appears asking you to confirm the deletion. Connections can be deleted from the IPX node at either end of the connection. Do not delete a connection when the node at the other end of the connection is unreachable. The unreachable node will not recognize the deletion. It is especially important not to delete a connection to an unreachable node and then connect that channel to another node. Channel connections are added to the network with the addcon command.
