There is a large chapter on it in the manual.

Circuit
Description: Specifies an alphanumeric name for a DLCI endpoint. When
combined as a circuit, the two DLCI endpoints act as a tunnel-data received
on one DLCI bypasses the Ascend router and is sent out on the other DLCI.
A circuit is a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) segment that consists of two
DLCI end points and possibly two Frame Relay profiles. It requires two and
only two DLCI numbers: data is dropped if the circuit has only one DLCI and
if more than two are defined, only two are used. Circuits are defined in
two Connection profiles. Data coming in on the DLCI configured in the first
Connection profile is switched to the DLCI configured in the second one.
Usage: Specify a name for the circuit, up to 16 characters. The other
end-point of the PVC must specify the same name in its Circuit configuration.
Example: Circuit=circuit-1
Dependencies: This parameter applies only to FR_CIR-encapsulated calls.
