==============================

Pre requisites
--------------

1. A Linux kernel source must be available.
   Usually in /usr/src/linux directory.
   
   Furthermore, the linux source version must
   match the currently running image.

   i.e. Output of 'uname -r'
        must match the source version
	number in /usr/src/linux/Makefile.

   Note: The Setup installation script checks
         for this condition and will take
	 appropriate steps to resolve the
	 name mismatch.




Installing WANPIPE with Frame Relay support
--------------------------------------------

The Frame Relay support is installed by default
during WANPIPE installation process. 

	./Setup install 

After successful installation proceed to 
configure the card for Frame Relay Protocol 
/usr/sbin/wancfg  GUI configurator.


Installation Verification
-------------------------

Run wanpipe hardware probe to
make sure that the kernel modules
are working fine:

Run:	wanrouter hwprobe


	In case of error:

Configuring Frame Relay
------------------------

NOTE:  Wanpipe drivers support two versions
       of frame relay:

       
       o FRAME REALAY
         Original frame relay that runs
         on the card and is supported
         on a single PRIMARY port.

       o MULTIPORT FRAME RELAY
         Kernel based frame relay that
         can run over both PRIMARY and
         SECONDARY ports.



Run: /usr/sbin/wancfg

1. Create new device

2. Select wanpipe1

3. Protocol Section
	Select Protocol: Frame Relay Protocol  OR
	                 MultiPort Frame Relay 

4. Hardware Section
	Select Probe Hardware
	       
       	Frame Relay Protocol
		Select your adapter PRI port.

	MultiPort Frame Relay 
	        Select your adapter for PRI or SEC
		port.
	

5. Interface Section
	
   Select number of interfaces/DLCI's you wish to configure
   (Default=1)

   For each network interface/DLCI do the following:
   
	Specify interface name.
	(Leave it default)
	
	Operation Mode:  
	
		WANPIPE	used to run IP protocols
		        on top of frame relay.

		BRIDGE	used to run Bridge/Ethernet over Frame Relay
		        The interface will have no IP addresses
			since it should be bound into the
			Ethernet bridge.

		BRIDGE NODE
			used to run IP/Ethernet over Frame Relay.
			THe interface will have IP addresses.

		API 	used to develop custom applications  
	            	on top of frame relay

	
	Ignore Modem Status:
		(Only available in WANPIPE operation mode)

		Option used to monitor the front end T1/E1
		status.  If the front end looses sync the
		link will be declared down.

		NO:  Run front end monitoring (default)
		YES: Ignore front end state.
		

	IP Setup:
		(Only available in WANPIPE operation mode)

		Specify IP info for network interface

6. End of configuration, exit and save



Start Frame Relay Protocol
---------------------------- 

Run: wanrouter start


	In case of errors:
	------------------
	Run: 	wanrouter messages
       	
		It will display kernel error
		messages.

Startup Confirmation
--------------------

Run: wanrouter messages

	Make sure no error messages are dispalyed.

 	Confirm the state of Front End (T1/E1/V35)
	Confirm the Link state

	Check for any error events.
