<div><p>This topic provides information about parameters specifying how
status information is exchanged between the frame-relay network and the systems
attached to it.</p>
<p>The IBM<sup>®</sup> <span><img src="eserver.gif" alt="eServer" /></span> iSeries™ system
uses the local management interface (LMI) to exchange status information between
the frame-relay network (or the frame handler system) and systems attached
to the network (terminal equipment). The LMI uses data link connection identifier
0 (DLCI 0) to provide verification of the physical connection and status for
logical connections.</p>
<p><strong>LMIMODE parameter</strong></p>
<p>Use the LMIMODE parameter on the network interface description to specify
the type of LMI exchange done by the iSeries system. You can configure the iSeries system
as terminal equipment (*TE), or you can configure the iSeries system as terminal equipment
(*ANNEXA). When you specify *TE, you really use ANNEX D, and when you specify
*ANNEXA, you really use ANNEX A.</p>
<p>You can also configure the iSeries system to exchange no LMI information
(*NONE).</p>
<p>Your LMI type must match the values of the network provider. If ANNEX D
or ANNEX A are unavailable, ask the network provider to turn LMI off and set
the iSeries to
*NONE.</p>
<p>When you make a connection without a network (using a modem
eliminator or nonswitched line), you can configure the iSeries system as a frame handler (LMIMODE(*FH)).
In this configuration, the iSeries system responds to LMI messages as an FH.</p>
