  • Page 20: Description

    2 Description The NetPath 100 Frame Relay Channel Service Unit (FSU) is a special purpose T1/FT1 CSU/DSU which provides management and diagnostic functions through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), transported over a Frame Relay network. It also includes an integral modem which supports access to the CSU/DSU as well as other co-located equipment such as routers.

  • Page 21: Isdn Adapter Option

    2 Description NetPath NP 100 provides a configuration option to capture and rank IP Traffic in either Top Conversation Pair or Top Talker/Listener mode. By examining Top IP Traffic sta- tistics, the network manager can determine the local device or the host/client connec- tions sending and receiving excessive traffic.

  • Page 22: Isdn Bandwidth On-Demand

    • • • ISDN Bandwidth Bandwidth On-Demand provides an additional network connection for a second DTE On-Demand (router) port based on a request from the DTE. In this configuration the NetPath 100 ISDN Adapter is protocol-transparent. The Router determines the protocol used. A typical network configuration showing simultaneous Bandwidth On-Demand and Backup connections is shown in Figure 2-3.
