Refer to the FrameSaver 9120 Technical Reference for information about the
unit's full capability and features.
Configuration shortcuts have been provided to simplify configuration of the
FrameSaver access unit and its features. Initially, this feature can be used to
speed setup of the access unit. Then, by selecting a frame relay discovery
method, configuration and cross-connection of DLCIs (and EDLCIs) can be
performed within the access unit on an automatic and continuing basis.
Configuration shortcuts provided by the access unit include:
Configuration templates – Configure the non-frame relay portion of the
FrameSaver access unit.
Based upon the template selected that best fits your application, one or two
ports can be automatically configured.
Frame relay discovery method – Configures the frame relay portion of the
FrameSaver access unit.
Based upon the local management interface (LMI) status response
messages when the network interface is configured as the user side of LMI,
the FrameSaver access unit automatically "discovers" a network DLCI and
cross-connects the DLCI to a port DLCI, provided the port is configured as
the user side. Management PVCs can also be "discovered" and
cross-connected.
Available as an optional feature, the ISDN BRI DBM provides fast, easy, and
flexible backup to limit data loss when the physical circuit fails. With the DBM
installed, the best and fastest backup decisions are made automatically.
Backup capabilities provided when an ISDN BRI DBM is installed include:
Automatic backup when the circuit fails.
Automatic restoration when the circuit recovers.
Alternate backup destinations or paths.
Manual call control.
This option automatically examines all unassigned timeslots to determine which
are being used by the network Frame Relay, then sets those timeslots to
FrameRly. In addition, LMI protocol will be discovered.
