2. Basic Configuration

The menu structure and selections, and the features and functions of the

FrameSaver unit, are changed based upon the type of service being used.

Table 2-1, Easy Install Configuration Options, describes the entries on the Easy Install screens.

Table 2-1. Easy Install Configuration Options (1 of 7)

Service Type

Possible Settings: Frame Relay, Leased Line, PPP

Default Setting: [Depends on model]

Specifies the type of service to which the unit is to be connected.

Frame Relay – Frame Relay-aware mode, for connection to a frame relay service. This is the default operational mode, and it is used to configure the FrameSaver unit in frame relay mode so that frame relay parameters and SLV functionality can be set up.

If a 9123 unit is set to Leased Line, then changed to Frame Relay, Time Slot Discovery is temporarily suspended until LMI communication is reestablished, and all frame relay-related configuration options previously set up are restored, except for the Sync Data Port Assignments. In this case, all port assignments set to S1Port-1 are converted to FrameRly1 assignments on the Frame Relay Network 1 Assignment timeslot assignment screen.

Leased Line – Leased-line mode, for connection to a standard leased-line service. This mode provides a simple and straightforward screen to guide the installer during initial installation, and to set up remote access to the unit.

When operating in leased-line mode, no frame relay-related statuses, performance statistics, tests, configuration options, or control features are available; only physical layer functions are available.

If the unit is set to Frame Relay then changed to Leased Line, all frame relay-related screens and features are filtered so they are transparent to the user. All frame relay links, DLCIs. and PVCs are preserved. For 9123 units, all Frame Relay Network 1 FrameRly1 time slot assignments are converted to S1Port-1 on the Sync Data Port Assignments screen.

PPP– Point-to-Point Protocol mode. A single PPP circuit exists between Port1 and Net1. Changing to or from PPP mode causes a reset.
