1. About the FrameSaver SLV

FrameSaver Diagnostic and SLM Feature Sets

Depending upon the model ordered, the FrameSaver unit has the basic FrameSaver frame relay and diagnostic capability, or it is enhanced with additional SLM (Service Level Management) reporting capability. These are referred to as feature sets, which provide different levels of intelligence for monitoring, managing, and reporting performance of the unit.

The two feature sets include:

TBasic Diagnostic Feature Set. Models with this feature set provide basic FrameSaver capabilities, which include:

Leased Line mode for standard DSU installation and operation

Device health and status

Layer 1 (Physical) and Layer 2 (Frame Relay) performance statistics

Basic physical testing and non-disruptive PVC diagnostics

A troubleshooting DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier) for service provider use and remote management

Limited RMON (Remote Monitoring) functionality

Multiplexed management PVCs

See FrameSaver Diagnostic Feature Set on page 1-5 for other features and additional information.

TAdvanced SLM Feature Set. Models with this feature set provide all the basic diagnostic capability, plus advanced Service Level Management features. When additional SLV data is collected and the unit is accessed from an OpenLane SLM system, Web access to the following information is available:

TruePut™ Technology using Frame and Data Delivery Ratios (FDR and DDR)

Web browser access to all diagnostic and reporting functions

Historical SLA (Service Level Agreement) verification and trend reports

Real-time RMON (remote monitoring) alarms and configurable alarm thresholds

Real-time and historical network performance graphs

Multiplexed customer PVCs

See FrameSaver SLM Feature Set on page 1-10 for more information about the additional SLM capability.

If the unit does not have the SLM feature set, full SLM capability can be activated at any time by ordering a Feature Activation Certificate. The OpenLane SLM system Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of advanced SLM features in units, and to manage activations.

1. About the FrameSaver SLV

To obtain a Feature Activation Certificate, provide the model to be upgraded, your OpenLane system license key number, and the number of FrameSaver units to be upgraded to SLM capability. You can order the certificate for a single unit or for many units. Your Feature Activation Certificate will include an Activation Certificate Number, the Feature Group Number for the additional SLM features, your OpenLane license key number, and the number of device activations ordered.

When the Feature Activation Certificate arrives, add the Activation Certificate Number to your OpenLane SLM application’s database. Activations can occur at any time, for as many units as desired, until no activations remain for the certificate. When ready to activate units, simply select the units to be activated and schedule the activations. The activations occur when scheduled, and OpenLane updates the certificate information. The OpenLane system also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the management of the certificate.

FrameSaver Diagnostic Feature Set

A FrameSaver SLV unit with the basic diagnostic feature set provides the following:

TEasy Installation. Provides a straightforward installation menu that requires minimal configuration to get the unit up and running quickly, and to set up remote configuration and management via Telnet access from the NOC (Network Operations Center).

TFrame Relay Aware Management. Supports diagnostic and network management features over the frame relay network. The unit’s frame relay capability also supports:

Inband management channels over the frame relay network using dedicated PVCs.

Unique nondisruptive diagnostics.

1. About the FrameSaver SLV

TIntegral Modem. Provides an internal 14.4 Kbps modem to support dialing in to the unit for out-of-band management and automatic dialing out of SNMP traps.

TModem 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.

TConfigurable 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.

TRMON 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 Enterprise MIB and historically as an RMON2 User History object.

TFrame Relay Traffic Policing. Ensures proper alignment and correlation of CIR (Committed Information Rate) values between the FrameSaver 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.

TService Provider Support. 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.

Trap Event Log – Displays the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap event log for the FrameSaver unit from 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.

TATM VPI/VCI and DLCI Correlation. For networks with both ATM and frame relay-access endpoints, allows the FrameSaver unit to report the originating 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.

TDual 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

TDSX-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.

TBack-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.

TEnhanced Ping Operation. FrameSaver devices can check connectivity and roundtrip response time to any remote device in either direction, via the FrameSaver internal management network or the data path.

TPayload 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.

TOptional 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 alternate 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 disruption.

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 all PVCs in the group are down, and it returns to normal service as soon as one PVC in the group is operational again. This feature is useful when multiple PVCs are going to redundant central sites.

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 primary 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.

Additional FrameSaver SLV 9126-II and 9128-II Features

TEthernet Interface. FrameSaver SLV 9126-II Routers and 9126-II and 9128-II CSU/DSUs units have a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet LAN interface for management, with automatic sensing of the operation rate of 10 Mb or

100 Mb, conforming to ANSI/IEEE 802.3.

Additional FrameSaver SLV 9128-II Features

The following features are unique to FrameSaver SLV 9128-II units:

TMultiple Data Ports. Provides two data ports instead of one, which have standard connectors so no special-order cables are required.

TCarrier-Mounted Models. For customers with high-density requirements, FrameSaver SLV 9128s and 9128-IIs can be ordered as multislot units, called Network Access Modules (NAMs), for insertion in the 14-slot 9000 Series Access Carrier.
