to the unit for out-of-band management and automatic dialing out of SNMP
traps.
Modem PassThru.
Provides access to another device’s VT100-compatible
user interface over a dial connection. When this feature is enabled, a logical
connection between the unit’s modem and COM ports is created, allowing
access to a collocated device’s serial port via the FrameSaver unit’s internal
modem. This feature is sometimes referred to as the Router Assist feature.
Configurable FTP Transfer Rate.
Allows you to control the transmit rate
when downloading firmware into the FrameSaver unit and uploading user
history statistics to an NMS (Network Management System) via the COM port
connection or a management PVC so the data can be transferred as a
background task using the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over
extended periods of time using low bandwidth.
RMON User History Performance Statistics via SNMP Polling.
Provides
access to the physical interface and basic frame relay performance statistics
by polling the FrameSaver unit using SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). These statistics are available real-time via the Enterpri se MIB and
historically as an RMON2 User History object.
Frame Relay Traffic P o li cing.
Ensures proper alignment and correlation of
CIR (Committed Information Rate) values between the Fram eS aver unit and
the network switch. When this feature is enabled, the unit can enforce CIR and
EIR (Excess Information Rate), marking frames that exceed CIR as DE
(Discard Eligible) using the same method used by the switch.
Service P rovider S upport.
Provides information and tools useful to network
service providers, which includes the following:
— IP Routing Table – Shows the IP routing table for the FrameSaver unit,
with network as well as host routes, the number of hops to the destination,
the method by which the route was added to the table, the interface used
to get to the destination, and how long the route has been in existence.
— Tr ap Event Log – Displays the SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) trap event log for the F rameSav er unit fr om the menu-driven user
interface, with the most recent events first, keeping a running total for all
trap events stored, the amount of time since the event was logged, plus a
description of the trap.
— Troubleshooting PVC – Provides a dedicated troubleshooting
management link that helps service providers isolate problems within their
network.
AT M VPI/VCI and DLCI Correlation.
For networks with both ATM and frame
relay-access endpoints, allows the FrameSaver unit to report the origina ting
Virtual Path and Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) in the far-end ATM-access
endpoint where the local DLCI is mapped so they can be correlated for
OpenLane SLV reports.
Dual Flash Memory.
Allows software upgrades while the unit is up and
running. Two software loads can be stored and implemented at the user’s
discretion.

1. About the FrameSaver SLV
DSX-1 Drop/Insert Port.
Allows DTEs/PBXs that support the DS1 signal
format to share the T1 network with other high-speed equipment so that voice
traffic can share the same local access circuit as the frame relay data.
Back-to-Back Operation.
Allows two FrameSaver devices to be connected
via a leased-line network or simulation so a point-to-point configuration can be
implemented.
Enhanced Ping Operation.
FrameSaver devic es can check connectivity and
roundtrip response time to any remote device in either direction, via the
FrameSav er internal management network or the data path.
Payload Management.
Any standard, non-management DLCI can be
designated as payload managed, providing management directly from a user
data PVC, and support for Telnet, ping, SNMP, and FTP.
Optional ISDN Backup.
FrameSaver SLV 9126 and 9126-II CSU/DSUs can
be equipped with a BRI DBM, which supports up to two channels. The
channels may have different destinations. The DBM may be field-installed in
the FrameSaver SLV 9126 CSU/DSU, and must be factory-installed in the
9126-II CSU/DSU.
FrameSaver SLV 9128-II 1-slot units can be equipped with a PRI DBM, which
supports up to 23 B-channels, or a BRI DBM. Carrier-mounted FrameSaver
SLV 9128-II NAMs support a PRI DBM only.
When an ISDN BRI or PRI DBM (Basic Rate Interface or Primary Rate
Interface Dial Backup Module) is installed, the following ISDN backup features
are provided:
— Provides automatic dial backup through the ISDN for data when primary
frame relay network or access line failures occur, then automatically
restores data to the primary route when service returns to normal. Backup
is supported regardless of whether or not Caller ID is provisioned on the
ISDN circuit. A secondary backup phone number is also available to call
when a backup link cannot be established with the primary backup site.
— Supports simultaneous origination, answering, or origination and
answering backup calls, as needed, based upon how the ISDN Link
Profile is set up. This feature is also known as peer-to-peer calling.
— Provides automatic configuration of an alternat e route and DLCI for
automatically created PVCs at either the remote site or central site based
upon the learned far-end DLCI number. When the automatic backup
feature is enabled, backup and restoration occur automatically.
— Provides backup timers that can be configured to better control the
amount of time required before backup is initiated, when a backup call will
be terminated once the failure condition clears, and a delay before normal
service is restored. These features are useful during periods of frequent
service disrup tion.
In addition, round trip latency thresholds can be configured that will initiate
backup when configured thresholds are exceeded.
— Supports backup call groups, where redundant PVCs can be assigned to
a specified call group. Using this feature, the unit only goes into backup
when
soon as
PVCs in the group are down, and it returns to norm al service as
all
PVC in the group is operational again. This feature is useful

1. About the FrameSaver SLV
— When the SLV Sample Interval is set to 10 seconds, provides advance
detection of network problems before a DLCI Down indication is received,
to minimize data loss.
— Provides customer premises equipment (CPE ) with a Backward Explicit
Congestion Notification (BECN) when backup bandwidth is not sufficient
for the traffic, allowing the CPE time to slow traffic to the ISDN before the
network starts discarding data.
— Supports Frame Relay Forum Multilink Frame Relay Implementation
Agreement – FRF.15 so backup bandwidth can be increased by
aggregating multiple B-channels over the ISDN link.
— Supports collection of call and call attempt statistical information that can
be viewed from the menu-driven user interface or via SNMP, and supports
alarm generation and call security, as well.
— Provides test call capability on ISDN backup links so ISDN and DBM
function can be verified before there is an actual primar y link failure and
switched over to the backup link. Periodic tests are recommended, which
can be performed from the menu-driven user interface, or through SNMP
commands. Multiple Last Cause Values are also provided to assist in
troubleshooting ISDN problems.
