About the FrameSaver DSL Unit

1-4 9783-A2-GB20-00

July 2000

An advanced SLM and reporting feature set can be activated on command with

the SLV key. In the base configuration, comprehensive Layer 1 and 2

instrumentation allows service providers to isolate, diagnose, and correct

problems remotely from their NOC. FR NSPs can expect fewer truck rolls and

faster service turn-up times. FrameSaver DSL carries forward the end-to-end,

nondisruptive loopback capabilities found in all FrameSaver products, allowing

quick verification of circuit operation from customer premises to customer

premises. Continuity and latency can be verified prior to cutover or any time

thereafter.

When the SLV key is remotely activated, additional historical reporting capabilities

are activated. Service level performance reporting in compliance with FRF.13 is

possible.

Since FrameSaver DSL operates with other members of the FrameSaver product

family, DSL, DDS, T1, E1, NxT1 or T3/E3 circuits can be mixed on the same

customer network. This hybrid circuit approach meets the practical needs of the

service providers in advance of 100 percent DSL geographic coverage, and

allows FR NSPs to partner with the most cost efficient access providers for any

location.

Working in concert with the Hotwire GranDSLAM and the Hotwire ATM SDSL

card, quality of service control spans the entire network eliminating the

uncertainty of best effort network designs. CBR, VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, and UBR are

supported.
