FrameSaver DSL Features and Benefits

Large-scale deployment of frame relay services over DSL-based access

networks is possible with the innovative FrameSaver DSL, which provides

important advantages for frame relay service providers.

HRemote diagnostic and service level management (SLM) functionality allows

service providers to install the unit and verify operation quickly and reliably.

HSuperior fault isolation and test capabilities allow both the Competitive Local

Exchange Carrier (CLEC) and the Frame Relay Network Service Provider

(FR NSP) to resolve problems quickly and efficiently.

HEnd-to-end service level reporting capabilities make this the ideal platform to

support managed frame relay services with service level guarantees.

HReduces operations cost by allowing Network Operations Center (NOC)

center personnel to remotely troubleshoot and diagnose problems.

HOptional SLV key turns on historical reporting of service level metrics,

allowing this device to be deployed as part of a fully managed service with

SLA reporting.

HHigh-speed and lower access cost of DSL functionality provides service

providers critical capabilities necessary to target markets currently served by

dial or VSAT services.

HUse of ATM as a transport protocol ensures the required quality of service for

each application across the access network.
