Chapter 1 Introduction

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The ADTRAN TSU IQ+ provides the visibility and control needed for both the physical and logical connections made in frame relay networks. The TSU IQ+ provides logical layer monitoring and management for frame relay. Each permanent virtual circuit (PVC) accessed through a TSU IQ+ is managed end-to-end as if it were a leased-line connection. Real-time statistics on throughput, bandwidth utilization, availability, bursting, congestion, and network delay are collected and stored in the Frame IQ MIB (management information base). Protocol-specific information is also gathered, providing information concerning traffic utilization in the frame relay connection. All information can be gathered by management systems and used to monitor network health and perform long-term network planning, allowing optimum use of network resources.

The unit's embedded SNMP (simple network management protocol) agent provides complete SNMP access to the unit. SNMP access is available through the DTE or network port or through an integral SLIP (serial line internet protocol) or PPP (point-to-point protocol) async port. The TSU IQ+'s unique modular approach provides optional 10BaseT ethernet access for SNMP.
