2 Description
The FrameSaver NP 110 Frame Relay Service Unit (FSU) is a special purpose
T1/FT1 CSU/DSU which provides management and diagnostic functions through
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), transported over a Frame Relay
network. It also includes an integral modem which supports dial-in access to the unit
and to co-located equipment such as routers. The FrameSaver NP 110 can be factory
optioned to include a DSX/Drop Adapter (for integrated voice/data applications) and
an ISDN Adapter (4 BRIs, for Backup and/or additional Bandwidth On-Demand).
Network Service Providers (NSPs) who prefer to have independent management
access from their end-user networks (customer networks), can utilize the isolated
management PVC designed int o the NP 110 for net work de marcation and diagnos tics.

Figure 2-1 shows a system level view of the FrameSaver NP 110, including
management t ransport. As shown in the figure, the Fr ame Relay network provides
Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) for both the Customer Data and FrameSaver NP
110 management.
NOTE: FrameSaver NP 110 is transparent to SVCs (Switched Virtual Circuits).
The NP 110 can have up to two I P Address es for ma nagement. On e IP Addres s allows
it to communicate with SNMP work stations that have access to the NSP management
PVC. A second IP Address can provide manag ement ac cess v ia a cu stomer d ata PVC.
FrameSaver NP 110 can also send SNMP Traps to multiple SNMP Stations via the
management PVCs. The integral modem is used to dial into the Network Control Center (NCC) Terminal Ser ver to report faults that are prevented fr om being repor ted over
the PVC management channels. It can also accept maintenance calls from NCC Work
Stations to support operator interaction, and accept inbound calls from a customer or
NCC Work Station to manage co-located devices such as routers.

2 Description
FrameSaver NP 110 provides a configuration option to capture an d rank IP Traffic in
either Top Conversation Pair or Top Talker/Listener mode. By examining Top IP Traffic statistics, the network manager can determine the local device or the host/client
connections sending and receiving excessive traffic.
DSX/Drop
Adapter Option
The FrameSaver NP 110 can be factory-optioned to include an integral DSX/Drop
Adapter module (Drop & Insert). The DSX/Drop adap ter inclu des a DSX Port an d an
additional V.35 Drop Port which are used to support Integrated Voice/Data (IVD) access applications.
Figure 2-2 shows three IVD applications. In each case, the IVD traffic is carried to a
NSP POP where a DCS is employed to groom the voice and data traffic to the appropriate switching device.

In configuration (b), vo ice traffic is delivered t oward the network f rom a PBX through
individual FXS circuits. In this case, the FrameSaver NP 110 terminates the T1 facility
and provides a “drop” function that separates the DS 1 into a voice bu ndle. The bundl e
is then delivered to a channel bank for conversion into m ultiple FXS circuits and a single V.35 frame relay User Interface data circuit for the router. This configuration facilitates inband access to the T1 performance through simple inband transport.
In configuration (c), voice traffic is delivered toward the network from a PBX through
individual FXS circuits. In this case, a channel bank terminates the T1 facility and provides a “drop” function that separates the DS1 into multiple FXS circuits and a single
frame relay User Interface data circuit. These circuits can be delivered to a standard
FrameSaver NP 120 as V.35 or to a standard FrameSaver NP 110 as a DS1.
Figure 2-3 shows an application in which a third bundle of DS0s are integrated into the
T1 stream and delivered to a separate V.35 drop port. In this applicati on, one group of
DS0s are assigned to the customers PBX via the DSX port and used for direct access
to the IXC’s inter-LATA dial network. The second group of DS0s are channeled via
our V.35 User (frame aware) port for use on the customer’s frame relay Virtual Private
Network. Then for security and bandwidth allocation purposes, the third group of
DS0s for Internet access are channelized to a different router via a V.35 Drop port.
Depending on the network architecture, the ISP could be co-located with the IXC DCS
or be remote from it, and the traffic on this bundle may or may not be frame relay.

The FrameSaver NP 110 can also be factory-optioned to include an integral ISDN
Adapter module.
The ISDN adapter includes four “U” ISDN TA Interfaces with two integral NT1 Inverse Multiplexers, thereby providing up to 512 Kbps of switched connectivity for network Backup and/or additional Bandwidth On-Demand.
Backup in Frame Relay Protocol utilizing the Router’s Primary Port can be via dedi-
cated PVCs on an alternate port, or the frame switch manag er may reroute the or iginal
PVCs to the Backup Frame Switch. It is also possible to b ypass the entire Frame Relay
Network and initiate backup to a pool of ports on an alternate Frame Switch connected
directly to another Router.
A typical network configuration showing the backup connection to a Backup Frame
Switch using rerouted PVCs is shown in Figure 2-4.

ML-PPP Support
The bandwidth on-demand process is described as follows:
•
User’s router detects need for bandwidth and raises DTR on its second port.
•
FrameSaver NP 110 ISDN Adapter calls predetermined number.
•
The Central Router answers the call and establishes communications with the
remote Router.
•
Communication commences between Routers.
•
User’s Router lowers DTR to terminate the ISDN connection when the
“demand” has been satisfied.
Because the FrameSaver NP equipment is intended to operate as a demarcation device,
it cannot be dependent on co-located equipment to establish a connection. For this reason, connection-associated parameters reside in the FrameSaver NP. ML-PPP operation is based on the use of CHAP or PAP ID or Caller ID to associate each incoming
call with the proper ML-PPP bundle. Because the associated router is using a single
physical port, it must be configured for PPP. The ML-PPP engine supports the Link
Configuration Protocol (LCP) required by PPP. In this case, the configuration values
are defined by the ML-PPP RFC, but are communicated to the router to ensure orderly
operation.
ML-PPP is supported on a dial-out basis on the BOD port only.

The in-band Frame Relay Management Cha nnel WAN address is defined by the DLCI
(Data Link Connection Identifier). The WAN DLCI can be configured for a Dedicated
PVC, or as a Tunneled channel within a Payload PVC. During initial installation the
WAN DLCI can be set via the unit’s Local Console Port or Dial-In Console Port.
Thereafter the DLCI can also be changed via in-band management access.
FrameSaver NP 110 has special features for Network Service Providers (NSPs) who
require management access (to the unit) to be isolated from the payload data. This iso lated access is provided either by FrameSaver NP 110’s dedicat ed netw ork -facing
management PVC as shown in Figure 2-1 or by the Tunneled management channel on
a network-facing Payload PVC as shown in Figure 2-8.

or Tunneled payload PVC. In this mode, there may be a secondary IP Address.
The secondary IP Address can be associated with a specified payload PVC or a
dedicated CPE-facing PVC.
•
The primary IP Address is associated with a specified payload PVC. There is
no secondary IP Address.
•
The Primary IP Address is associated with a dedicated CPE-facing PVC. There

WAN Management
IP Address
FrameSaver NP 110 utilizes one IP Address on the dedicated, network-facing Wide
Area Network (WAN) management channel. This address is embedded within the various communications protocol stacks used for SNMP, Telnet and PPP. The unit’s WAN
Management IP Address may be automatically learned from the first message received
on the management PVC, or it can be set via the local or remote Console Port.
When optioned with ISDN, FrameSaver NP 110 can have several communications
paths that allow the management channel to connect to the frame relay network in different places. Each of these connection points could result in the management PVC
routing through different IP sub-nets to reach the Network Contro l Center, or it may be
desirable to have the FrameSaver NP 110 appear as a logically different object in the
SNMP manager, especially if static routing and dedicated backup ports are utilized.
The setting/learning of these additional IP Addresses is described in detail in Section
4, “Configuration,” in this manual.
FrameSaver NP 110 will retain in Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), a separate WAN IP
Address for each connection point. All communications via OOB PPP (Out-Of-Band
Point-to-Point Protocol ) will utilize whatever IP Address is in effect depending on how
the unit is currently connected to the network. There are several options for establishing the WAN IP Address within the FrameSaver NP 110.
When the unit is shipped from the factory or when NVM is cleared on initial installation, the WAN IP Address for each connection point is set to 000.000.000.000 , wh ich
indicates no address is known.
Software
Download
The WAN IP Address to be used on the T1 link is automatically “learned” from the
first valid IP message received over the unit’s management PVC. Learning will take
place as long as the value of the WAN IP Address in NVM is 000.000.000.000. Once
the IP Address is set or learned it is retained and used until the NVM is cleared or another addre s s is manually set.
The FrameSaver NP 110 system software (firmware) is stored in flash memory. A new
version of the softwa re can be down loaded to the uni t for sof tware upg rade, or fo r restoration in the event an error is detected in the flash storage.
A description of the software download process is provided in Section 5, “Diagnos-
tics,” in this manual.

Trap Reporting
Event Log
The FrameSaver NP 1 10 provides a MIB which includes s t andar d MIB -II gro ups an d
also contains a Private MIB Extension which supports the issuance of unique Traps.
Traps are notifications of events which are significant in terms of performance and/or
troubleshooting.
Traps are issued either in-band or dial-out (out- of-band) via the on-board modem, depending on the specific fault detected.
The MIB objects and the Trap reporting path for each are listed in Section 5, “Diag-
nostics” of this manual.
FrameSaver NP 110 includes an Even t Log which captures and Trap occurrences and
logs them into a table for SNMP retrieval. The table stores up to 255 of the latest occurred events.
The log table includes the following:
•
A unique event number for each event. Maximum number is 65,536 after
which the count restarts. The count is als o restar ted b y a un it res et or power up.
•
A relative time-stamp which counts from when the unit last started operation.
•
A description of the event, including any data included in the Trap regarding
that event.
