PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The ADTRAN DSU IQ provides the visibility and control needed
for both the physical and logical connections made in frame relay
networks. The DSU IQ provides logical layer monitoring and
management for frame relay. Each permanent virtual circuit (PVC)
accessed through a DSU IQ is managed end-to-end as if it were a
leased line connection. Real-time statistics on throughput,
bandwidth utilization, availability, bursting, congestion, and
network delay are collected and stored in the Frame IQ MIB
(management information base). This information can then be
gathered by management systems and used to monitor network
health and perform long-term network planning.
The unit's embedded SNMP (simple network management
protocol) agent provides complete SNMP access to the unit. SNMP
access is available through the DTE or network port or through an
integral SLIP (serial line internet protocol) or PPP (point-to-point
protocol) async port. The DSU IQ's unique modular approach
provides optional 10BaseT ethernet access for SNMP.
