Overview The Motorola Vanguard 100 Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) connects serial

devices to a Frame Relay network. This FLASH-based Vanguard is available either
with or without an integral DSU daughtercard, DIM Site daughtercard, ISDN
daughtercard, or Voice daughtercard, in a desktop-size standalone enclosure, as
shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Motorola Vanguard 100

The Vanguard 100 can be ordered in mono FRAD or duo FRAD configurations with
either two or three serial ports, respectively.

You can use the optional second port for dial backup or as a second user port,
permitting two applications with different protocols share the same Frame Relay
circuit.

Features

Memory The board contains 1 Mbyte of FLASH memory and 2 Mbytes of DRAM.

Default Report Log
Size

On software releases prior to 4.35, 140 data buffers were allocated for reports, for a
total of 200 reports.

For the 4.35 software, 10 data buffers are allocated for reports, for a total of 20
reports that can be logged on the Vanguard 100, thereby saving 130 data buffers.

There is no additional configuration required to recover these buffers.

Support for 57.6
Kbps

The SLIP and PAD ports on the Vanguard 100 now support a baud rate of 57.6 kbps.

Note

The 6525 and Vanguard 200 do not support 57.6 kbps.

Memory DRAM Recovery

Memory DRAM Recovery

Introduction On software prior to Release 4.35, 65 kilobytes was allocated for configuration

memory size internally, which is identical to the allo tment for the 6525.
For the Vanguard 100, 65 kilobytes is unnecessary, since configuration memory si ze

is only 8 kilobytes.
The software has changed to use some of this memory for new protocols. Vanguard

configuration memory is reduced to 16 kilobytes, saving approximately 220 data
buffers or 48 kilobytes of RAM.

Recovery
Conditions

Consult the following table concerning conditions for memory resource recovery.

Recovery
Procedure

Use the following procedure to recover memory DRAM.

If... Then...

You purchased a node with 4.35
software already installed

No upgrade is required

The first page of the Node Stats
Record shows the decompressed
configuration memory ( DRAM) to be
16384 bytes

No upgrade is required

Release 4.23 software is running Use one of these two options:

• Take no action: the Release 4.35
functions with the 65 kilobyte
configuration memory size that
Release 4.23 initially set up

• Upgrade the node to recover
memory DRAM

Step Action

1

Save your configuration memory using a TFTP or kermit transfer.

2

Default th e node CMEM using the Control Terminal Port.
(i.e., entry 13 in the Main menu).

3

Restore the saved configu ration memor y. (Booting the node is not
necessary.)

Pre-Installation Procedures

Pre-Installation Procedures

Site Preparation Ensure that the select ed site i s free of a ccumulated dust and environmental extremes.

Caution

All Motorola Vanguard 100 devices should be used in environments designed for
computers and electronic equipment. In areas susceptible to lightning, take
precautions to prevent damage to electronic equipment. Contact your telephone
company, or an electronic accessories vendor, for information on lightning
protection equipment.

Power Source Choose a site that is within an ap propri ate di stance of a power source. Depending on

your application and the country in which you operate the Motorola Vanguard 100,
this must be a grounded 100 to 240 VAC outlet.

Warnings and
Cautions

The following special notices apply to all equipment handling procedures in this

operator’s guide.

Warning

Motorola Vanguard 100 daughtercards and DIMs are sensitive to electro-static
discharge, which can damage components. Only trained, qualified technicians
should perform procedures outlined in this guide to ensure proper handling and
grounding procedures.

Connecting Ports

Warning

Ports that are capable of connecting to other apparatus are defined as SELV. To
ensure conformity with the EN60950 standard - check that these ports are only
connected to ports of the same type on other apparatus.

Attention

Les ports qui sont susceptibles d’être connectés à des équipements sont désignés
comme TBTS. Pour garantir la conformité à la norme EN 60950, n’interconnecte
ces ports qu’avec des ports du même type sur des autres matériels.

Achtung

Anschlusse, die mit anderen Geraten verbindet werden konnen, sind als SELV
beschrieben. Um Konformita t mi t EN 60950 zu versichern, sichern Sie es, daß di es e
Anschlusse nur mit den des selben Type auf anderen Geraten verbindet werden.

FCC Part 68 and T elephone Company Pr ocedures and
Requirements for DSU

Before You Begin Before the Motorola Vanguard 100 can be connected to the network, you must:

• Provide the local telephone company with the equipment’s registration
number

• Order the proper connections

How to Order
Connections

To order the proper connections, provide the telephone company with the following
information:

• Interface type

• Required USOC jack connector number

• Service code

• Facility interface cod es

Troubleshooting
Your Connection

If any of your equipment is not operating correctly, immediately remove it from the
telephone line before damaging the network. If the telephone company is aware of
the problem, they may temporarily disconnect your service. Whenever possible, the
telephone company notifies you in advance of the disconnection.

If advance notice is not feasible, you are notified as soon as possible. Once notified,
you can correct the problem. If nece ss ary, it is your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.

Equipment

FCC regulations and telephone company procedures prohibit connection of
customer-provided equipment to telephone company-provided coin service (central
office-implemented systems). Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

Occasionally, the telephone company may make changes in their equipment,
operations, or procedures. If these changes can affect your equipment or service, the
telephone company provides written notice so that you can make the necessary
changes to maintain uninterrupted service.

Contact your telephone company if you have any questions about your telephone
line.

In some circumstances, the telephone company may ask you for information about
the equipment tha t is co nnected to the telephon e line. W ithi n the United St ates (a t the
request of the telephone company), you should provide your equipment’s FCC
registration number. This number is located on the unit’s label.
