At times it is necessary to connect a LAN2LAN router to a Cisco IOS router. Use the following guidelines:

Minimum software version requirements:

LAN2LAN: v.3.30
IOS: 10.2

Settings in the LAN2LAN:

From WNIC Management, select the WNIC, then select Frame Relay. From Frame Relay Management, select PVC Parameters, and press return to configure a PVC, with the appropriate CIR, EIR, etc.

Under PVC Parameters make sure that this is set:

     Connecting router is LAN2LAN? = NO
Then go to Link Parameters and set:
     Line State enabled or disabled? = Enabled
Sample config for Cisco IOS router:

LAN2LAN will not respond to and inverse ARP, and so you need to use point-to-point subinterfaces to connect to the LAN2LAN. Make sure you include in your Frame Relay encapsulation statement IETF to support RFC 1490. Also, the lmi-type must be set to ansi.
