7-2 Chapter 7 Introduction Emulex X.25 software operates in a NetWare server or NetWare router/bridge PC environment and provides services for NetWare products and other applications (including i ndependent develope r applications) requiring wide area connectivity Emulex X.
X.25 Configuration 7-3 Virtual Circuit Service X.25 uses two mechanisms, providing a logical path between end points, called virtual circuits. A virtual ci rcuit provides a connection-oriented service, similar to that of circuit switching but with the following exceptions: • Limited to a connection between two end points.
7-4 Chapter 7 Logical channels differentiate the virt ual circuits supported by the packet level. Each packet is associated with a logical channel which is mapped to the appropriate destination of the virt ual circuit. Multiple connections are provided simultaneously by multiplexing virtual circuits over the access line.
X.25 Configuration 7-5 Diagramming Your X.25 Network To ensure that all connections to the X.25 network are properly diagrammed, complete these step: 1) Diagram the existing X.25 network showing all router access points and mark the X.25 addresses. 2) Draw each type of connection from the local router to its corresponding partner.
7-6 Chapter 7 Maximum Frame Size (Nl) - Determines the maximum frame size (in octets) allowed to be received on the li nk. It is automatically configured from the packet size and maxim um packet size information.
X.25 Configuration 7-7 When establishing a connection to an X.25 network, you must set this parameter to DTE (the default valu e) if you are connecting to a X.25 service provider. Default Inbound/Outbound Packet Size - The Inbound Packet uses the default packet size for a inbound call unless another packet size is specified.
7-8 Chapter 7 T25 (Data Packet Retransmission Timer) - Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the DTE waits for the appropriate acknowledgment after transmitting a data packet. If the T25 timer expires, the packet layer resets the virtual circuit.
X.25 Configuration 7-9 Tw o Way SVC, Number of LCNs - Determines the lowest LCN that can be used for two-way SVCs. This number must agree with your network subscription. Outbound, Low est LCN - Determines the lowest LCN that can be used for outgoing logical channels for SVCs.
7-10 Chapter 7 Reverse Charging Calls - Offers the equivalent of a collect call. It is allowed on a per-call basis and is speci fied in the Call Request packet by the calling DTE. Closed User Group (CUG ) - Allows the configuration of one or more virtual private networks within a larger public network.
