Paradyne FrameSaver DSL, 9783 manual Maximum Number of PVCs and Management PVCs Supported

About the FrameSaver DSL Unit

HDual Flash Memory. Allows software upgrades while the unit is up and running. Two software loads can be stored and implemented at the user's discretion.

HMultiplexed Management PVCs. Provides a method of multiplexing management data with customer data transparently over a single PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) when FrameSaver devices are at each end of the circuit. This feature also makes it possible to run nondisruptive PVC tests.

HMaximum Number of PVCs and Management PVCs Supported.

HATM VPI/VCI and DLCI Correlation. For networks with both ATM and frame relay-access endpoints, allows the FrameSaver unit to report the originating Virtual Path and Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) in the far-end ATM-access endpoint where the local DLCI is mapped. This occurs when the FrameSaver unit is operating in frame relay mode.

HFrame Relay Traffic Policing. Ensures proper alignment and correlation of CIR (Committed Information Rate) values between the FrameSaver unit and the frame relay interworking function on the network switch. When this feature is enabled, the unit can enforce CIR and EIR (Excess Information Rate), marking frames that exceed CIR as DE (Discard Eligible) using the same method used by the switch, and discarding frames whose transmission

would cause committed burst size (Bc) and excess burst size (Be) to be exceeded.

HRMON User History Performance Statistics via SNMP Polling. Provides access to ESF line, physical interface, and basic frame relay performance statistics by polling the FrameSaver unit using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). These statistics are available real-time via the Enterprise MIB and historically as an RMON2 User History object.

HTrap Event Log. Shows the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap event log for the FrameSaver unit, with the most recent events first, keeping a running total for all trap events stored, the amount of time since the event was logged, plus a description of the trap.

HExtensive Testing Capability. Provides a variety of tests to identify

and diagnose device and network problems, including nondisruptive PVC loopbacks and end-to-end connectivity. Tests can be commanded from the unit's menu-driven user interface or the OpenLane system.

These tests include V.54 or FT1-ANSI data channel loopback support so the frame relay network service provider can perform a physical loopback from its own switch without having to contact the local service provider for loopback activation.
