After packet endpoints are defined, they are connected in the packet con-
nects (P
ACKET

)map.P
ACKET
C
NCTS
connects upper layer protocols
from packet endpoint to packet endpoint. You can think of it as a dedicated
map for virtual ports rather than physical ports.
FROM:PEP
Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
Selects one packet endpoint for the packet connection. Packet endpoints
created in the packet endpoint configuration are visible on a pull-down
menu which includes the R
OUTER
option. Additionally, a router option is
available in this pull-down menu. The router is the internal the ATLAS 550
router and can be used multiple times within the P
ACKET

NCTS
menu.

available in this menu. In frame relay, this is the PVC from which you are
selecting to groom data.

Selects the other packet endpoint for the packet connection. Refer to FROM

If the T

shown within this menu, which includes the R
OUTER
option.
PROTOCOL
Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
Selects the protocols for this packet connection. Selecting the protocols on
each individual connection allows the mixing of data from multiple sources
onto a single PVC. Available protocols include the following: A
LL
, IP,
P
ACKET VOICE
, SNA - LLC2, SNAP,andT
RANSPARENT PROTOCOLS
(TBOP
and TASYNC).
Keep in mind the following:
1. If A
LL
is selected, additional connections from that
PVC are not allowed.
2. If R
OUTER
is selected as one packet endpoint, IP is
automatically set as the P
ROTOCOL
.
3. If a TBOP packet endpoint is selected as one packet
endpoint, T
RANSPARENT
is automatically set as the
P
ROTOCOL
.
