2.2.1ACS-FRS Card Description (881160)

The ACS-FRS card concentrates multiple N x 56K or N x 64K frame relay data streams onto one or more Nx56/64K links of the Integrated Access System. In addition to frame relay concentration, the card encapsulates data for Nx56/64K HDLC or SDLC data streams. The frame relay server software runs on the card, which provides up to 68 logical ports. Up to 128 permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) can be configured on a single card. The aggregate speeds of all ports associated with each FRS cannot exceed 8 Mbps.

The maximum frame size supported by the ACS-FRS card is 4,096 bytes per frame. Each card can switch 4,000 frames per second, assuming a frame size of 64 bytes per frame. Up to three ACS-FRS cards can be used in a system.

2.2.1.1Card Jumpers/Switch Settings

The ACS-FRS card does not have any jumpers or switches on its motherboard.

2.2.1.2Installing the Card
