FEATURES
Based on ITU Q.933 Annex A and T1.617 Annex D Standards for Frame Relay Service and Additional Pocedures for Permanent Virtual Circuits(PVCs). Optional Transparent Mode (no LMI Protocol Processing - all frame data received). Local Management Link Protocol with optional Bi-directional message processing. Detects and indicates service-affecting errors in the timing or content of events. Programmable Timers/Counters: nT1/T391, nT2/T392, nN1/N391, nN2/N392, nN3/N393 and dN1 for the LMI/LIV channel. Provides Error Counters for the LMI channel and Congestion Statistics for all the active channels. LMI/LIV Frames can be transmitted/received on DLCI 0 or 1023. Supports reception of up to 4 octets of address field with a maximum of 8192 active channels or DLCIs (Data Link Connection Identifiers) Priority DLCI scheme for channels requiring higher rate of service. Buffer Management includes: - Initialization Block - Address Look Up Table - Context Table - Separate Receive and Transmit Rings of variable size for each active channel On chip DMA control with programmable burst length.
