7 Frame Relay Setup
7.1 Overview
When a Loop IP-6610 runs Frame Relay on its WAN Port, it can support up to 10 Permanent Virtual Circuits
(software-defined logical connections in a network). Each of those 10 PVCs can connect to a remote Frame
Relay device that resides in a branch office. Figure 7-1, below, illustrates a Frame Relay setup. The
dashed lines in the diagram represent Frame Rely PVCs.
Note: IP 6610 units only support user site protocol and cannot communicate directly with each other. They
must be connected to a Frame Relay network that includes devices that run on FR network protocol. The
Loop-AM 3440-A can be used as such a device.
