About the FrameSaver FLEX 9123

FrameSaver FLEX Feature Sets

Depending upon the model ordered, the FrameSaver FLEX unit has the basic FrameSaver frame relay and diagnostic capability, or it is enhanced with additional SLV (Service Level Verification) reporting capability. These are referred to as feature sets, which provide different levels of intelligence for monitoring, managing, and reporting performance of the unit.

The two feature sets include:

HBasic FLEX Feature Set. Models with this feature set provide basic FLEX capability, which includes the following:

ÐLeased Line mode for standard DSU installation and operation

ÐDevice Health and Status

ÐLayer 1 (Physical) and Layer 2 (Frame Relay) performance statistics

ÐBasic physical testing and non-disruptive PVC diagnostics

ÐA troubleshooting DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier)for service provider use and remote management

ÐLimited RMON (Remote Monitoring) functionality

ÐMultiplexed management PVCs

See Basic FLEX Features for other features and additional information.

HAdvanced FLEX SLV Feature Set. Models with this feature set (sometimes referred to as Feature Set or Group 2) provide all the basic FLEX capability, plus advanced SLV (Service Level Verification) features. When additional SLV data is collected and the unit is accessed from an OpenLane SLM system, Web access to the following information is available:

ÐTruePut t Technology using Frame and Data Delivery Ratios

ÐWeb browser access to all diagnostic and reporting functions

ÐHistorical SLA (Service Level Agreement) verification and trend reports

ÐReal-time RMON (remote monitoring) alarms and configurable alarm thresholds

ÐReal-time and historical network performance graphs

ÐMultiplexed customer PVCs

See Advanced FLEX SLV Features for other features and more information about the additional SLV capability.

If the unit does not have the additional SLV features, it can be upgraded to FLEX SLV capability at any time by ordering a FrameSaver FLEX 9123 SLV Activation Certificate. The certificate can be ordered for a single unit or for many units. You must have the OpenLane SLM system to activate the additional FLEX SLV features in the unit.
