FrameSaver Diagnostic and SLM Feature Sets

Depending upon the model ordered, the FrameSaver unit has the basic FrameSaver frame relay and diagnostic capability, or it is enhanced with additional SLM (Service Level Management) reporting capability. These are referred to as feature sets, which provide different levels of intelligence for monitoring, managing, and reporting performance of the unit.

The two feature sets include:

Basic Diagnostic Feature Set. Models with this feature set provide basic

FrameSaver capabilities, which include:

—Leased Line mode for standard DSU installation and operation

—Device health and status

—Layer 1 (Physical) and Layer 2 (Frame Relay) performance statistics

—Basic physical testing and non-disruptive PVC diagnostics

—A troubleshooting DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier) for service provider use and remote management

—Limited RMON (Remote Monitoring) functionality

—Multiplexed management PVCs

See FrameSaver Diagnostic Feature Set on page 1-5for other features and

Tadditional information.

Advanced SLM Feature Set. Models with this feature set provide all the basic diagnostic capability, plus advanced Service Level Management features. When additional SLV data is collected and the unit is accessed from an OpenLane SLM system, Web access to the following information is available:

—TruePut™ Technology using Frame and Data Delivery Ratios (FDR and DDR)

—Web browser access to all diagnostic and reporting functions

—Historical SLA (Service Level Agreement) verification and trend reports

—Real-time RMON (remote monitoring) alarms and configurable alarm thresholds

—Real-time and historical network performance graphs

—Multiplexed customer PVCs

See FrameSaver SLM Feature Set on page 1-10for more information about the additional SLM capability.

If the unit does not have the SLM feature set, full SLM capability can be activated at any time by ordering a Feature Activation Certificate. The OpenLane SLM system Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of advanced SLM features in units, and to manage activations.
