OMPONENTS
The major components of SFVRA-CFG network are:
•
SFVRA-CFG Database
The storage vessel for network information. It is built on a either MS SQL Server, version 6.5 or
later, or using Microsoft Access.
•
SFVRA-CFG Application
The interface to the SFVRA-CFG database.
•
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
An ODBC software driver that connects the SFVRA-CFG application with the SFVRA-CFG
database.

ETWORK
The SFVRA-CFG provides a centralized configuration/maintenance function for ISDN networks.
The network devices can be separated into the following categories:
•
ISDN routers
•
remote ISDN bridge devices
•
PC based terminal adapters
•
ISDN enabled workstations
The SFVRA-CFG generates configuration files for the following Cabletron CyberSWITCH ISDN
routers and SmartSwitch Remote Access Modules:
•
9W006
•
9W007
These configuration files describe the CyberSWITCH/module and the devices that they connect to.
Other types of ISDN routers may also be configured in a network. However, configuration files are
not generated for these devices; the only information configured for these devices is the
information that the CyberSWITCH/module requires.
Typical remote ISDN bridges provide one Ethernet port and one Basic Rate ISDN port. The Basic
Rate port is connected to the switched digital network and is used to make connections to an ISDN
router. The Ethernet port is used to connect to a remote LAN. The remote bridge device sends
Ethernet frames from devices on the remote LAN over the switched network.
PC-based terminal adapters connect to a remote personal computer and use the switched digital
network to connect to an ISDN router. The terminal adapter sends network protocol specific frames
from the host PC device over the switched network.
Workstation-based terminal adapters connect to a workstation and use the switched digital
network to connect to an ISDN router. The terminal adapter sends network protocol specific frames
from the workstation over the switched network.
