Configuration with QuickSET

62 QuickSET Configuration Guide

The Compression and Congestion window lets you to enable data compression on each interface.

Data compression reduces the size of the data being sent on a WAN link, effectively extending the

link bandwidth. The type of compression in use (hardware or software) is displayed in the

Compression and Congestion window title bar.

To use data compression, the CyberSWITCH or HSIM must ﬁrst be fully conﬁgured and

connected to a live WAN link, and compression must be conﬁgured on any remote WAN device(s).

Using software compression, the CyberSWITCH or HSIM supports up to four DS0s (256 Kbps)

per WPIM. With the optional hardware compression module installed, the CyberSWITCH or

HSIM supports data compression on all DS0s, which is equivalent to two full T1 lines.

The Modify Compression and Congestion Window (Figure 69) displays when you click the

odify button in the Compression and Congestion window. Click OK when you have ﬁnished

modifying the compression settings.

The deﬁnitions of the Compression and Congestion data ﬁelds are listed below:

Interface — Displays the available, pre-conﬁgured interface numbers.

Compression — Displays the status of data compression for a speciﬁc interface. Options for this

ﬁeld are either on (box shows a check mark) or off.

The following deﬁnes the ﬁelds for Frame Relay only:

Committed # Burst — Displays the Committed Burst size, which is the maximum amount of
