Figure 8-2: Logical Ports Dialog

The parameters are described in Table 8-5.

Table 8-5: Logical Ports Dialog Parameters

Parameter	Description

Card Number	Number that identifies the slot the card is in.
Port Number	Port number of logical port for the line.
Line number	Number of the line.
Admin Status	Choose one from the pop-up menu: up down modify add delete
Operational Status	Operational status of the port. Can be active, failed, inactive, looped, or unknown.
Port Speed	Baud rate of the port.
Number of channels	Number of aggregate channels assigned to this logical port (FRI T1/E1 interface only) when the port is added. Get Operation: Subrate—This object is always 1. Single and Multi-line—Number of channels allocated for the logical port. Set Operation: Subrate ports—Illegal. Single-line—Specified when the manager adds a logical Frame Relay port. Together with the port index, this object defines the range of the channels to be allocated, from port to port+frLportAggrChCnt-1. Multi-line—Specified when the manager adds a logical Frame Relay port. Together with frLportStartCh, this object defines the range of the channels to be allocated, from frLportStartCh to frLportStartCh + frLportAggrChCnt - 1. Note Single and multi-line logical ports have different starting channels. Single-line ports start with the port index and multi-line ports stars with a separate object frLportStartCh.
Channel Speed	Channel speed (FRI T1/E1 interface only). Can be one of the following: s56k s64k na For FRI subrate interface this object should be set as na.
Starting Channel	Starting channel number of a logical port. Get Operations: Subrate—Always -1 (not applicable). Single-line T1/E1—Always the port index. Multi-line card—The starting channel number of the logical port as it was added. Set Operations: Subrate and Single-line—Illegal. Multi-line —This object is used by the manager to specify the starting channel when a port is added. This object and frLportAggrChCnt together define a range of channels (frLportStartC-frLportStartCh+frLportAggrChCnt-1) to be allocated for a multi-line port. If not given, the default value is the logical port number specified as part of the index. Note that this default value may not be valid and would likely be rejected if conflicts are found.
IDE to DE Map	Flag indicating whether or not IDE to DE mapping should be performed. Choose yes or no from the pop-up menu.
