MultiFRAD 3000-Series User Guide

Introduction

Welcome to Multi-Tech's new MultiFRAD 3000 series, model numbers 3060 and 3100, a Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) that encapsulates non-packetized data streams from serial and LAN devices into frame relay frames. The MultiFRAD 3000-Series features six or ten synchronous or asynchronous data channels, an IP/IPX router, and a composite link that connects to a common carrier frame relay network service or private frame relay network. A FRAD is designed to handle non-packetized data streams from its data channels and local area networks and frame that data with header and trailer information prior to transmission to a frame relay network. On the receiving end of the communication, the FRAD strips away the frame relay control information in order that the target device is presented with the data packaged in its original form.

The MultiFRAD 3060 allows up to six non-frame relay devices such as LANs or Multiplexers to be connected to its RS232 data channels, an Ethernet LAN connection for IP or IPX routing or transparent bridging, an RS232 command port, and a trunk line interface for access to a Frame Relay Network. The MultiFRAD 3100 allows up to ten non-frame relay devices to be connected, along with the Ethernet port, command port, and trunk line interface connections.

Note: for the purposes of this manual, all future references to MultiFRAD should be taken to include both model MultiFRAD 3060 and MultiFRAD 3100, unless otherwise noted.
