Upgrading a Unit to the SLM Feature Set
Full Service Level Management (SLM) capability can be activated in units that have the
basic diagnostic feature set 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 and network. Simply order a Feature
Activation Certificate and provide the model to be activated, your OpenLane
system license key number, and the number of FrameSaver units to be activated to SLM
capability. You can order the certificate for a single unit or for many units.
OpenLane SLM Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of SLM features
in units, 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.
®
SLM
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.
Contact your sales representative for additional information.

Connecting the COM Port to an Asynchronous Terminal
A VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or a PC providing VT100 terminal
emulation must be used to set up access to and management of the unit.
Procedure
1. Configure the terminal or PC to be compatible with the FrameSaver unit:
— COM Port in use by your PC: COM1 or COM2.
— COM Port 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.
2. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the FrameSaver unit’s COM port.

Verifying that Self-Test Passed
To verify that the unit passed its self-test, go to the System and Test Status screen.
Main Menu→Status→System and Test Status
The results of the self-test appears directly under the screen title.
If any failure messages appear, reset the unit by disconnecting, then reconnecting the
power cord. The unit will perform the self-test again. If the failure reappears, call your
service representative for assistance.

About the Installation Procedures
There are two methods for installing and setting up the FrameSaver unit.
One person can install and set up the unit. If this is the case, see
and Setup
An installer can physically install and set up access to the unit, and the network
.
operation center (NOC) can complete the setup. If this is the case, see
Installation for Service Providers
on page 13.
Full Installation
Minimal
Certain procedures are common to both the full installation and minimal methods. These
procedures (starting with
Setting Up Local Management at the Central Site
on page 15)
are referenced in the full and minimal installation instructions. Refer to them, as needed.
Full Installation and Setup
An Easy Install screen is provided to simplify installation and setup. The Easy Install
feature can be used for the first part of the installation when one person is installing and
setting up the unit from beginning to end.
