Upgrading a Basic Unit to SLV

Full SLV capability can be activated in basic FrameSaver DSL models at any time.
This is an optional feature that adds real-time and historical network performance
monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement) reporting capabilities to your
FrameSaver unit(s) and network. Simply order an Activation Certificate, providing the
model to be activated (9783), your OpenLane SLM system license key number, and
the number of FrameSaver units whose SLV capability is to be activated.

The OpenLane SLM system, Release 5.3 or later, is required to schedule the activation
of the SLV feature and to manage the number of activations remaining on the
certificate. OpenLane also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the
management of the certificate.

2

When the 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, select the units to be activated and schedule the activations. The activations
occur when scheduled, and OpenLane updates the certificate information.

Contact your sales representative for additional information.

1. Configure the terminal or PC so it is compatible with the FrameSaver unit:

– Baud Rate set to 19.2 kbps.
– Character length set to 8 data bits.
– Parity set to none.
– Stop bit set to 1.
– Flow Control set to None.
