It is assumed that frame relay service is turned on at the site.

Procedure

1.Select the Easy Install feature.

Main Menu Easy Install

2.Enter the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask.

3.Set TS Access to DLCI, then select a DLCI on the network interface that will be used for the troubleshooting access link.

4.Create a Dedicated Network Management Link, selecting a DLCI for the management link at the Which DLCI would you like to Create a Dedicated Network Management Link on? prompt, which will be used by the NOC to access the unit.

5.For a FrameSaver SLV 9128-II that will use its Ethernet port, select the Ethernet Port Options Screen and configure the following:

Enable Interface Status. If the NMS will be on a different subnet than the unit, enter Yes at the Would you like to set the Node's Default IP Destination to Ethernet? prompt. Otherwise, enter No.

If the IP Address and Subnet Mask are unique to the interface, enter them for the port; otherwise, the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask will be used.

Enter the Default Gateway Address; the IP Address that will be used for packets without a route.

Enable Proxy ARP if the unit will proxy for downstream FrameSaver units learned via the proprietary RIP (Routing Information Protocol) feature.

Press the Esc key to return to the Easy Install screen.

6.Configure the T1 network interface options to match the service provider’s settings.

7.Save the configurations.

8.Install the network cable (see Connecting to the Network on page 18). The FrameSaver unit starts discovering DLCIs and network time slots (see Automatic Configuration on page 14).

The remaining steps are optional, depending upon the application. They are performed from the Main Menu.

9.If the unit will be enforcing CIR (Committed Information Rate) and EIR (Excess Information Rate) on network frame relay links, enable Traffic Policing.
