Voice Compression The Express 5210 voice option cards employ voice compression technology to provide toll-quality voice using significantly less bandwidth than traditional voice channels.
Dial Backup Operation The Express 5210 supports dial backup of point-to-point DDS circuits or frame relay circuits. For DDS backup, the Express 5210 enters dial backup based on physical line faults. During dial backup, the Express 5210 monitors the main line integrity and drops the dial backup call when the main line is restored.
1B+D Basic Rate ISDN service provides backup over a switched 56/64 kbps circuit. DCE Card This module connects an external DCE device to the Express 5210. The card can act either as a dial backup interface or as an alternate network interface (supporting access rates up to 512 kbps).

SNRM (set normal response mode) from an SDLC device. The Express 5210 looks for SNRM on all ports and assumes a secondary role once SNRM is received. The Express 5210 then brings up the LLC2 link across the frame relay network to another FRAD which assumes a primary role.
Different roles can be assumed for each SDLC session. Disconnec- tion starts the role determination procedure again. In all cases, the Express 5210 is transparent to the XID (exchange identi- fication) negotiation between any two network devices. The Express 5210 uses LLC protocol (mode 2) to transport SDLC information frames.
Transparent Application In cases when the user protocol is not supported by the Express 5210, the transparent mode may be used. Transparent bit- oriented protocol (BOP) or transparent asynchronous protocol may be selected. This can be used for point-to-point connections only because the Express 5210 is transparent to the protocol address formats.
RIP. Once routes are established, IP traffic can flow between any two IP addresses shown in Figure 5-4. See Table 5-4 for an example configuration. The options listed in the table are found in the IP menu under I ETUP NTERFACES Figure 5-4. LAN Application 61200208L1-1 Express 5210 User Manual...

Daisy-Chaining Over Frame Relay In this configuration, multiple units are daisy-chained at the host site to accommodate switched OPX (off premise extension) lines. See Figure 5-6. The Express 5210 can be daisy-chained on the host end to accommodate more PBX extensions. 61200208L1-1...
In the case of a frame relay circuit, this is the local DLCI that the voice data is to be carried on. For a point-to-point DDS cir- cuit, the DLCI value must be non-zero and it must be the same on both ends of the circuit. 5-12 Express 5210 User Manual 61200208L1-1...
In this arrangement, the local PBX extensions are extended across the frame relay or point-to-point DDS circuit. In direct mode, the Express 5210 is transparent to the telephone circuit. All signalling information is generated/detected by the attached PBX/telephone.
Configuration Methods The following configuration methods are supported: • Configure a local Express 5210 using the front panel or a VT 100 interface. • Configure a remote Express 5210 using a VT 100 R EMOTE OGIN session established through a local unit.

This option determines how the Express 5210 responds to congestion during DBU operation. The following chart explains the choices: No flow control is used and the Express 5210 drops frames during severe congestion. The Express 5210 varies the DTE TC clock as nec- essary to relieve congestion.
Protocol Options (PROTOCOL OPTS) Concentrator Mode (CON MODE) When set to O , the Express 5210 inspects data for proprietary traffic such as voice, remote configuration, and PVC loopback data. This allows frame relay and internally generated traffic (such as voice traffic) to travel the same DLCI.

Enter the management data link connection identifier. The DLCI is a special DLCI used between the attached ANAGEMENT DTE device and the Express 5210 to carry SNMP and TELNET packets to/from the Express 5210 on the port. See the following section Guidelines for Configuring IP Addr, Subnet Mask, and Mgmt DLCI for more information.
The DLCI determines the path across the frame relay UTGOING network and is given by the service provider. The SSAP/DSAP pairs are user-defined but should match between two Express 5210s for each SDLC session. 61200208L1-1 Express 5210 User Manual...

DLCIs during PTIONS dial backup applications. Normally, when an Express 5210 sends data on a particular DLCI, the frame relay switch maps that DLCI to the appropriate DLCI at the far end. During dial backup, the frame relay switch no longer exists in the data path, so the mapping must be done at the receiving end of the data path.

IP Setup Chapter 12 IP ROUTING WITH THE EXPRESS 5210 The Express 5210 contains an IP router function to resolve paths for IP packets received. This function is used regardless of encapsulation protocol and port received from. The heart of the routing system is a routing table which can be generated manually, automatically, or a combination of the two.
Page 126
In addition to RIP, the network port uses inverse ARP (RFC 1490) to associate peer router/FRAD IP addresses to PVC addresses. The Express 5210 can also respond to requests from peer routers/ FRADs seeking an association for their tables. The transmit and receive inverse ARP section can be independently enabled.
