This read-create value configures the VCI of the peer endpoint that this connection is meant to reach, forming part of the peer's unique network identifier along with the remote VPI and NSAP address. An admin sets this when provisioning a point-to-point SPVC to specify exactly which remote channel the connection should terminate on, noting it must not be set if cwaChanP2MP is true. For example, when manually configuring a permanent virtual circuit between two switches, the admin would set this remote VCI to match the VCI expected by the peer endpoint, unless the connection is instead configured as point-to-multipoint.
