Paradyne CSU, DSU, 9126-II, 9128-II manual About the FrameSaver SLV

1. About the FrameSaver SLV

Integral Modem. Provides an internal 14.4 Kbps modem to support dialing in to the unit for out-of-band management and automatic dialing out of SNMP traps.

Modem PassThru. Provides access to another device’s VT100-compatible user interface over a dial connection. When this feature is enabled, a logical connection between the unit’s modem and COM ports is created, allowing access to a collocated device’s serial port via the FrameSaver unit’s internal modem. This feature is sometimes referred to as the Router Assist feature.

Configurable FTP Transfer Rate. Allows you to control the transmit rate when downloading firmware into 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.

RMON User History Performance Statistics via SNMP Polling. Provides access to the physical interface and basic frame relay performance statistics by polling the FrameSaver unit using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). These statistics are available real-time via the Enterprise MIB and historically as an RMON2 User History object.

Frame Relay Traffic Policing. Ensures proper alignment and correlation of CIR (Committed Information Rate) values between the FrameSaver unit and the network switch. When this feature is enabled, the unit can enforce CIR and EIR (Excess Information Rate), marking frames that exceed CIR as DE

T(Discard Eligible) using the same method used by the switch.

Service Provider Support. Provides information and tools useful to network service providers, which includes the following:

—IP Routing Table – Shows the IP routing table for the FrameSaver unit, with network as well as host routes, the number of hops to the destination, the method by which the route was added to the table, the interface used to get to the destination, and how long the route has been in existence.

—Trap Event Log – Displays the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap event log for the FrameSaver unit from the menu-driven user interface, with the most recent events first, keeping a running total for all trap events stored, the amount of time since the event was logged, plus a description of the trap.

—Troubleshooting PVC – Provides a dedicated troubleshooting management link that helps service providers isolate problems within their network.

ATM VPI/VCI and DLCI Correlation. For networks with both ATM and frame relay-access endpoints, allows the FrameSaver unit to report the originating Virtual Path and Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) in the far-end ATM-access endpoint where the local DLCI is mapped so they can be correlated for

TOpenLane SLV reports.

Dual Flash Memory. Allows software upgrades while the unit is up and running. Two software loads can be stored and implemented at the user’s discretion.
