Automatic Configuration

The FrameSaver unit provides several automatic configuration features. Frame Relay Discovery and configuration is one of these features.

Main Menu Auto-Configuration

The default discovery mode is 1MPort. In this mode, for each DLCI discovered on the network, the unit creates a network interface DLCI containing two EDLCIs (embedded DLCIs – one for Port-1 data and the other for management), a Port-1 DLCI with the same number, and a management PVC, then cross-connects them.

NOTE:

When auto-configuration creates a multiplexed DLCI, but a standard DLCI is needed, change the DLCI to Standard from the network DLCI Records screen: Configuration Network DLCI Records

Other modes can be selected. See Setting Up Automatic Configuration in Configuration of the User’s Guide for information about other modes and how the Frame Relay Discovery Mode can be changed.

No automatic configuration occurs until the network cable is connected. If you do not want management links configured or automatic configuration, change the default setting for the Frame Relay Discovery feature.

Time Slot Assignment

Network time slots are discovered automatically when Time Slot Discovery is enabled (the default setting) on the Frame Relay Network 1 Assignments screen. This feature can be disabled if you want to manually configure time slots.

See Assigning Time Slots/Cross Connections in Configuration of the User’s Guide for additional information about this feature.

Setting Up the Modem

The unit has an integral modem for remote management. It is already set up for dial-in access to the unit, with Port Use set to Terminal.

Procedure

If using the modem for dialed IP network connectivity (SNMP, Telnet, FTP, or trap dial-out):

1.Select Modem Port.

Configuration Management and Communication Modem Port

2.Minimally, change Port Use to Net Link, and assign the interface’s IP Address and Subnet Mask if it is different from the Node’s. Change Link Protocol to SLIP, if necessary (PPP is the default setting).

3.Save the configuration.
