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.
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.
FrameSaver NP 110 detects loss of connectivity at CSU.
•
ISDN Adapter card calls Backup Frame Switch and is identified by caller ID.
•
Frame Switch Manager either reroutes original PVCs, or Frame Switch uses
alternate PVCs for the backup connection.
•
FrameSaver NP 110 switches the data path when connected.
•
Associated routers determine that PVCs have been established through LMI
enquiries.
•
Communication is resumed.

ISDN Bandwidth
On-Demand
Router
Bandwidth On-Demand provides an additional network connection for a second DTE
(router) port based on a r equest fr om th e DTE. In this configurat ion t he NP 110 ISD N
Adapter is protocol-transparent. The Router determines the protocol used.
A typical network configuration showing simultaneous Bandwidth On-Demand and
Backup connections is shown in Figure 2-5.
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 basic FrameSaver NP 110 includes a T1 interface, network-compliant Fractional
Rate to Full Rate CSU/DSU, a Frame Relay switch function, a Frame Relay manag e ment module, and an SNMP Agent.
The unit includes an internal V.90 modem and two Auxiliary ports. An integral call
director connects the modem to the CSU, AUX 1 port, AUX 2 port, or Option module
(ISDN) based on a DTMF code sent by the caller. All the devices can access the modem for call-out purposes on a first-come, first-served basis.
The unit also includes a CPE power-control feature, whereby power to the CPE can be
momentarily interrupted by operator command to the FrameSaver NP (thereby forcing
a reset of the CPE.)
System software can be downloaded to the FrameSaver NP 110 for upgrades.
Detailed descriptions of the FrameSav er NP 110 indi cators and controls are provided
in
section 5, “Diagnostics” in this manual. Connector and pinout details are provided in
section 3, “Installation” in this manual.
A switched power output conn ector on t he rear o f t he FrameS aver NP 11 0 pr ovi d es a
mechanism for rebooting an external device (us ually the CPE connected to the unit) by
momentarily interrupting its AC power source.
The integral switched outlet responds to an operator command issued to the FrameSaver NP 110 to interrupt power to the connected device for a duration of one (1) to 30
seconds. When commanded, both the Hot and Neutral power leads are interrupted.

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.

Tunnel management is accomplished by a FrameSaver NP HUB (FrameSaver NP100
class unit) located at a site which supports up to 48 PVCs connected to FrameSaver NP
units located at remote (spoke) sites. The HUB unit perfo rms the r outing and encap sulation function for manag ement channel mes sages going to and from the rem ote units.
The HUB is connected to the network management systems by a separate dedicated
group management PVC.
With these features, NSP and/or customer management of the unit can be accomplished through three basic management modes:
•
The primary IP Address is associated with the network-facing dedicated PVC
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
is no secondary 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.
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.
The integral on-board modem can be switched to any one of several of the interfaces
of the FrameSaver NP 110 by the call director. The call director connects the modem
to the Base module, optional ISDN Adapter module, AUX 1 Port, or AUX 2 Port.
In this way, the modem is used for out-of-band trap reporting (FrameSaver NP 110
Base module, ISDN option module or DTE device connected to an AUX Port) and accepts incoming calls for management access of the FrameSaver NP 110, DTE device
or any other device connected to an AUX Port.

Encapsulation
Protocols are encapsulated and carried within eac h Frame Relay “Frame” and are iden tified by the NLPID (Network Level Protocol ID). The NLPID may identify a specific
protocol such as defined by IETF, or indicate a set of lower level protocols such as
SNAP (SubNetwork Access Protocol).
WAN Encap - Select the type of IP encapsulation to be u sed for private network PVC
management access. Selections are:
Learning - The unit will attempt to learn automatically. Once a value is entered
or auto-learned, auto-learning will be discontinued.
Raw - No protocol specified. Data (user’s payload) is encapsulated only by the
frame of the Frame Relay packet.

which direction, and the remainder indicates the DLCI value.
NOTE: The P/C Mgmt DLCI value must NOT be the same as WAN Mgmt DLCI.
CAUTION
If either WAN or P/C Mgmt DLCI value is changed, the
FrameSaver NP 110 will perform a system reset after the
Save [SA] command is issued. The system reset will
terminate any console session in pro
data traffic.
3. LMI Protocol - Displays and allows the selection of the LMI protocol used. If set
to “None,” LMI traffic (if any) to or from the Network will be passed through the
FrameSaver NP unaffected, and the unit’s LMI alarms and status will be cleared.

4. Network (DTE) - Consists of the settings required for the various protocols. These
T391/Status Enquiry Rate - Interval in seconds between the LMI Status
Enquiries issued by the FrameSaver NP 110 to the Network (Frame Switch).
The ratio of N392 to N393 defines t he rat e of Bad/ No LMI res ponses to Coun t of
events, beyond which the Network link is declared Out-of-Service. This ratio is
set by selecting the values (1 to 10) for each of these parameters, defined as
follows:
N392/Event Error Threshold - Number of Bad/No responses to LMI Status
Enquiries issued by FrameSaver NP 110.
N393/Even t Count - Count of all monitored requests (to be used for the ratio).
N391/Full Status Frequency - The Frequency Number “n” will cause every
th
“n
” LMI Status Enquiry issued to be a Full LMI Status Enquiry.
PVC BECN/FECN Threshold - FrameSaver NP 110 maintains a count of
seconds during which a receive frame contained a BECN or FECN bit s et. When
the number of seconds containing BECN or FECN bits (flags) for any PVC in the
most recent interval equals or exceeds this Threshold Setting, an alarm is
declared.
5. User (DCE) - Consists of the settings required for the various protocols. These
include T392, N392 and N393.
T392/Status Enqui r y T i m eou t - Timeout interval in seconds while waiting for
an LMI Status Enquiry from the User equipment.
The ratio of N392 to N393 defines the rate of Bad/No LMI inquiries to Count of
events, beyond which the User link is declared Out-of-Service. This ratio is set
by selecting the values (1 to 10) for each of these parameters, defined as
follows:
N392/Event Error Threshold - Number of Bad/No inquiries for LMI Status
Enquiries issued by the User equipment.
N393/Even t Count - Count of all monitored inquiries (to be used for the ratio).
Force Full Status Response - Enable causes the FrameSaver NP 110 to send
four consecutive Full L MI Enquir y Messages toward the Net work upon detecting
a recovery of its T1 link (or ISDN link if so option ed and active). Upon receivin g
a Full Response it forwards that to the DTE, regardless of that enquiry type. In
some cases this will speed recovery from a link outage. Disable causes the
FrameSaver NP 110 to follow normal conventions per the N391 parameter.
6. Link Err Threshold - Disable or set the threshold of Data Frame Error Seconds
which when reached or exceeded causes an alarm to be declared. Set
independently for Network and User sides.

4.Desired Loss Mon Rate - Setting for the rate at which a Loss measurement
packet (Packet-Counting packet) is injected on each PVC in the list specified at
the bottom of this screen. Default value (60) dictates that within each 60-second
period, every PVC in the list is measured once. A PVC’s packet is considered lost
if it does not return before a subsequent packet is injected on that PVC. On a perPVC basis, the originating unit delays 10 seconds if the previous response was
lost. The packet send rate cannot exceed 10 per second.
NOTE: FrameSaver NP 110 Loss packets ar e 4 2 bytes in leng th, when issued . A
FrameSaver NP looping (receiving and returning) a Loss packet will add two
additional bytes to the packet.
5.Drpd Mon Pkt Thres - FrameSaver NP 110 maintains a count of monitor
packets lost (both Delay and Loss packets) fo r the cu rren t interval f or each PVC.
When either of the monitor packet counts on any PVC equals or exceeds this
threshold setting, a “PVC Drpd Mon Alarm” is declared. The alarm is cleared
when all PVCs in a subsequent interval fail to equal or exceed the threshold
value. Applies to auto and manually learned DLCIs.
6.PVC Delay Thres - FrameSaver NP 110 maintains an average delay
measurement for each PVC for the current interval. A “PVC Delay Alarm” is
declared when the average on any PVC equals or exceeds this setting. The alarm
is cleared when all PVCs in a subsequent interval fail to equal or exceed the
threshold value. Applies to auto and manually learned DLCIs.
7.PVC Dlvd Pkt Thres - A “PVC Dlvd Pkt Alarm” is declared when the
percentage of packets delivered on any monitored PVC falls below this threshold
setting. The alarm is cleared when all PVCs in a subsequent interval fail to fall
below the threshold value. Applies to auto and manually learned DLCIs.
8.Interval Period - Sets the time period for each interval of PVC statistics,
from one (1) to 15 minutes.
NOTE: Changing the interval period will cause all PVC and Protocol Monitoring
statistics to be cleared.

Test
Installation
The final step of the FrameSaver NP 110 installation is to verify operations. This is
done through the Network Control Center (NCC).
1. Contact the Network Control Center and inform the Operator that the physical
installation and initial configuration are completed.
2. The NCC will establish a management session to the FrameSaver NP 110 and
complete any final/additional configuration, and review the system’s status screens
to verify operation.
NOTE: To enab le NCC management access, the local console sess ion must be logged
out, and if the NCC is attempting a dial-in connection, the local terminal must also be
disconnected from the AUX 2 port.
If this installation is configured for Out-Of-Band Trap Reporting, a test of this feature
should also be performed. This is done by initiating a Network communications failure
which causes the FrameSaver NP 110 to issue a Trap Report to the T rap Manager. This
test must be coordinated with the NCC Operator to verify that the Trap Report is received and that Network communications are restored after the test.
3. Coordinate the initiation of this test with the NCC Operator, and when told to do
so, disconnect the T1 Line from the FrameSaver NP 110. The FrameSaver NP 1 10
will dial-out to issue a Trap Report after approximately five (5) seconds. This can
be seen on the front panel by the “MODEM IN USE” LED going s teady ON. A fter
the “MODEM IN USE” LED goes OFF, reconnect the T1 Line and confirm with
the NCC Operator that the Trap Report has been received, and that good
communications have been reestablished with the FrameSaver NP 110.
NOTE: If the NCC management session (Step # 2) was established via dial-in, this
must be terminated before the FrameSaver NP 110 can use the Modem to issue the
Trap Report.
This dial-out Trap Report test is highly recommended because it adds a greater level
of confidence to the completion of the installation process. This test verifies all of the
following, in addition to the normal operation of the FrameSaver NP 110:
The installation and initial testing are now complete. If any results were other than
those described, refer to section 5, “Diagnostics” in this manual for assistance.
Dial Line is operational and a call can be made (not inadvertently blocked).

NOTES:
1. All User Port Loops and BERTs are at the current User Port configured data rate (56 or 64 kBps.)
2. Only one BERT may be active at a time. The results are a count of the number of Blocks Sent,
Blocks Errored, Block Error Rate and the durat ion of the test, displaye d as shown on t he example
screen above. When the BERT duration reaches the maximum count of 99:59:59, all counts freeze
until cleared or reset by the operator (the BERT data however, continues to be sent).
3. PVC tests will prompt for the input of a PVC DLCI destination.
4. Test Pkts to Netw display results include selected DLCI, packets sent, packets dropped, percent
received, octets sent, test duration and average and maximum delay (network and full delay), for
each network segment.This test’s delay values may not correlate to values displayed on the PVC
Statistics Screens because the Link Test Packet size (40 - 1590 octets) is larger than the Delay
measurement packet (36 octets).
5. Delay and Loss measur ement packets (for ALL
PVCs) are halted, while a “T est Pkts to Netw” test is
performed. This will also affect the Delay and Loss packet counts and measurement fields on the
PVC Statistics Screens.
6. Initiating certain test options, when management access is via the T1 link, will terminate
management. These tests will be blocked and an Error Message displayed on the screen. Examples
of this are “BERT to Netw” and “Test Pkts to Netw” where the DLCI selection matches the
manageme nt DLCI of this unit.
