About the FrameSaver DSL Unit

Basic Features

The FrameSaver DSL unit provides the following features:

HEasy Installation. When AutoBaud is used, no configuration is required. SNMP options may be modified if desired to provide security and enable traps.

HFrame Relay Aware Management. Supports diagnostic and network management features over the frame relay network. The unit's frame relay capability also supports:

ÐInband management channels over the frame relay network using dedicated PVCs.

ÐUnique nondisruptive diagnostics.

ÐCIR monitoring on a PVC basis.

ÐMultiple PVCs on an interface.

ÐMultiplexing management PVCs with user data PVCs.

ÐMultiplexing multiple PVCs going to the same location onto a single network PVC.

HRouter-Independence.Unique diagnostics, performance monitoring, PVC-based in-band network management, and SNMP connectivity is not dependent upon external routers, cables, or LAN adapters.

HInverse ARP and Standard RIP Support. Provides Inverse ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) support so the frame relay router at one end of a management PVC can acquire the IP address of a FrameSaver unit at the other end of the PVC. Standard RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows the router to automatically learn the routes to all FrameSaver units connected to that FrameSaver unit.

HSecurity. Provides multiple levels of security to prevent unauthorized access to the unit.

HAuto-Configuration. Provides the following automatic configuration features:

ÐCIR Determination ± For automatic recalculation of the committed rate

measurement interval (Tc) and excess burst size (Be) when a DLCI's CIR changes.

ÐExcess burst size (B e) and committed burst size (Bc) are recalculated when Committed Burst Size Bc (Bits) is set to CIR. The committed rate measurement interval (Tc) is recalculated when Committed Burst Size Bc (Bits) is set to Other.

HConfigurable FTP Transfer Rate. Allows you to control the transmit rate used for downloading from the FrameSaver unit and uploading user history statistics to an NMS (Network Management System) via the COM port connection or a management PVC so the data can be transferred as a background task using the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over extended periods of time using low bandwidth.
