Introduction
UNDERSTANDING FRAME RELAY
Frame relay is a wide area network (WAN) service designed to
minimize physical connections. This is accomplished by using
virtual connections within the frame relay cloud and accessing
these virtual circuits with normally one physical connection at each
location to the frame relay service. Virtual circuits are addressed
using header information at the beginning of each frame. These
frames are formatted by the user's CPE equipment such as the
ADTRAN Express 5210.
ANSI standards describe how each frame must be constructed to
provide interoperability between CPE equipment and frame relay
switching equipment. Each frame must contain a header, at least
one byte of information data, two bytes of CRC16, and a trailing
flag 0x7E.
This header information contains a virtual circuit addr ess known as
a DLCI (data link connection identifier). The header information
also contains bits used for network congestion control.
Frame relay virtual circuits may be defined as permanent (PVC) or
switched (SVC). PVCs have the same DLCI for a given path each
time a user protocol session is established. The network service
provider assigns these DLCIs at subscription time. SVCs, on the
other hand, have DLCIs dynamically assigned each time a user
protocol session is established. The CPE equipment must request a
call and the DLCI is assigned by the network switching equipment.

Chapter 1. Introduction
This DLCI is valid until the call is disconnected and may be
assigned a different value each time a call is requested.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ADTRAN Express 5210 is a standalone frame relay access
device (FRAD) that provides a cost-effective means of transporting
voice and multi-protocol data over frame relay or DDS networks.
The Express 5210 provides an easy-to-use interface for customers
migrating existing services or developing new applications for
operation over frame relay networks.
The Express 5210 provides high-quality voice and fax capabilities
to remote locations without expensive toll charges. In frame relay
networks, the Express 5210 allows voice and data to share the same
PVC, eliminating unnecessary PVC charges associated with other
vendors’ voice and data frame relay products. Two voice ports are
provided when configured with a voice option card. Options
include: Dual FXS, Dual FXO, and Dual E&M.
The Express 5210 provides a DTE interface for connecting a nonframe relay device to the frame relay network. This port can be
configured for either EIA-232 or V.35 signal specifications.
Synchronous protocol speeds up to 512 kbps and asynchronous
protocol speeds up to 57.6 kbps are supported. See the appendix
Pinouts on page A-1 for the pin assignments.
The Express 5210 handles each frame of the user data in a threestep manner. The first step is terminating the user protocol. The
layer at which this termination occurs varies, depending on the
user protocol selection for a given port. The next step is examining
the user protocol destination address and ro uting to the destination
port and virtual circuit. The last step involves encapsulating the
information field of each frame and re-encapsulating based on the
destination port configuration. A similar process is used for frame
relay frames received on the network port.
The major features of the Express 5210 are as follows:
• Dual voice port support; options include Dual FXS, Dual FXO,
and Dual E&M

DDS Operation
DDS is a nationwide service that allows interconnection and
transportation of data at speeds up to 64 kbps. The local exchange
carriers provide the local loop service to DDS customers and may
provide data for routing Inter-LATA to an interexchange carrier.
The integrated 56/64 DDS DSU supports the 56/64 kbps DDS
service rate.

Chapter 1. Introduction
SNMP
The Express 5210's embedded SNMP feature allows the unit to be
accessed and controlled by a network manager through one of the
following:
• the network interface
• a DTE port running frame relay, SLIP, or async PPP protocol
• the 10BaseT LAN port
The Express 5210 supports the MIB-II standard, RFC 1213, and the
ADTRAN Enterprise Specific MIB.
MIB files are available from ADTRAN in the support section of the
ADTRAN Web page at www.adtran.com.
The term SNMP broadly refers to the message protocols used to
exchange information between the network and the managed
devices, as well as to the structure of network management data
bases. SNMP has three basic components:
Network Manager
Control program that collects, contr ols, and pr esents data pertinent
to the operation of the network devices. It resides on a network
management station.
Agent
Control program that resides in each network device connected.
This program responds to queries and commands from the
network manager and returns requested information or invokes
configuration changes initiated by the manager.
MIB
Index to the organized data within a network device. It defines the
operation parameters that can be controlled or monitored.
Telnet
TELNET provides a password-protected, remote login facility to
the Express 5210. TELNET allows a user on a network manager to
1-4 Express 5210 User Manual 61200208L1-1
control the Express 5210 through the terminal menus. See the
section TELNET Utility on page 4-1 for more information on setting
up a TELNET session.
Voice Compression
The Express 5210 voice option cards employ voice compression
technology to provide toll-quality voice using significantly less
bandwidth than traditional voice channels. In addition to
supporting voice calls, the cards support group 3 facsimile up to
14.4 kbps. The Express 5210 dynamically allocates bandwidth to
voice and data applications. This results in al l bandwidth being
available for data applications in the absence of voice or fax.
For information on configuring these options, see the chapter Voice
Configuration on page 8-1. The three available voice options are
described in the following sections.
FXS Module
The FXS module provides two 2-wire compressed voice interfaces
and serves as the source of line current and ringing voltage. The
FXS serves as the station side of a foreign exchange FXS/FXO
application. The FXS may also be paired with another FXS to
provide private line automatic ringdown (PLAR) function across
the WAN.
Chapter 1. Introduction
FXO Module
The FXO module provides two 2-wire compressed voice interfaces
and provides a load for line current. The module includes a ring
detector and a line current detector. The FXO serves as the office
side of a foreign exchange FXS/FXO application.
E&M Module
The E&M module provides two 2- or 4-wire compressed voice
interfaces for use in E&M applications.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Dial Backup Operation
The Express 5210 supports dial backup of point-to-point DDS
circuits or frame relay circuits. For DDS backup, the Express 5210
enters dial backup based on physical line faults. During dial
backup, the Express 5210 monitors the main line integrity and
drops the dial backup call when the main line is restored.
For frame relay dial backup, the Express 5210 monitors the physical
line condition as well as the signaling state of the frame relay
circuit. Once the configured DBU criteria have been met, the
Express 5210 initiates a DBU call. The Express 5210 receiving the
call qualifies the incoming call and re-routes the PVCs affected by
the outage while continuing to service other PVCs on the network
interface.
During dial backup, the Express 5210 constantly monitors the
physical state of the network. It als o a ttempts to re-establish
signaling on the main line. Once both the physical integrity and the
signaling state are restored, the unit drops the dial backup call and
reverts to the main line.
The 4-wire SW56 DBU card is compatible with AT&T Accunet and
Sprint SW56 type services. The V.34 DBU card allows switched
backup over the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The
ISDN 1B+D card supports a U- interface to the Basic R ate ISDN and
is compatible with National ISDN and AT&T DMS.
The Express 5210's unique DBU cards are field-installable by the
customer. See the section DBU and Voice Interface C ard S lo ts on page
2-4 for information on installing DBU cards. Also see the chapter
Dial Backup Configuration on page 10-1 for information on
configuring DBU options.
The backup options are described in the following section. Contact
the local telco provider to determine which services ar e ava ilable in
your area.
