The router has an SDSL front end and is a manageable frame relay aware endpoint. It operates as a bridge or an IP router that connects a DSL link to an Ethernet network.

The FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router is used for data only and provides corporate LAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring. Copper pairs run from the central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to create the local loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises at the demarcation point in a punchdown block or network interface device (NID). A typical example of using the FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router in a network configuration is shown below.
