about configuration options, refer to the configuration option tables in the User’s Guide.

6
Verifying that Self-Test Passed
To verify that the unit passed its self-test, go to the System and Test Status screen.
Main Menu → Status → System and Test Status
The results of the self-test appears directly under the screen title.
If any failure messages appear, reset the unit by disconnecting, then reconnecting the
power cord. The unit will perform the self-test again. If the failure reappears, call your
service representative for assistance.
Setting the System Clock
To set up the system clock:
1. Select System Information.
Main Menu → Control → System Information
2. Move the cursor to the Date, then the Time field to enter:

– Time in the hh:mm format (hours:minutes)
3. Save the settings.
Assigning the Node IP Address
1. Set up the node.
Main Menu → Configuration → Management and Communication → Node IP
2. Minimally, enter the following options:
– Node IP Address
– Node Subnet Mask
3. Save the configuration.

7
Setting Up the Modem
The unit has an integral modem for remote management. It is already set up for dial-in
access to the system, with Port Use set to Terminal.
If using the modem for dialed IP network connectivity (SNMP, Telnet, FTP, or
trap dial-out):
1. Select Modem Port.
Configuration → Management and Communication → Modem Port
2. Minimally, change Port Use to Net Link, and assign the interface’s IP Address and
Subnet Mask if it is different from the Node’s. Change Link Protocol to SLIP, if
necessary (PPP is the default setting).
3. Save the configuration.
Setting Up Call Directories if Trap Dial-Out Is Desired
1. Set up directory phone numbers.
Main Menu → Control → Modem Call Directories
2. Select Directory Number A (for Alarm).
3. Enter the phone number(s). Valid characters include:
– ASCII text
– B for blind dialing
– W for wait for dial tone
– P for pulse dialing unless B specified
– T for tone dialing unless B specified
– Space, underscore ( _ ), comma (,) for a 2-second pause, and dash (–)
readability characters
4. Save the phone number(s).
Setting Up Management
1. Select General SNMP Management.
Configuration → Management and Communication →
General SNMP Management
2. Minimally, set Name 1 Access to Read/Write.
3. Save the configuration.

8
Setting Up Local Management at the Central Site
1. Create a DLCI for the data port.
Configuration → Data Ports → DLCI Records
2. Save the configuration.
3. Create a Management PVC using the data port DLCI just created.
Configuration → Management and Communication → Management PVC
Minimally, enter the following options:
– Name for the management PVC
– Interface IP Address and Subnet Mask, if different from the Node’s
– Primary Link for this Management PVC (the user data port)
– Primary DLCI (i.e., the data port DLCI)
4. Save the configuration.
Automatic Configuration
The FrameSaver unit provides several automatic configuration features. Frame Relay
Discovery and configuration is one of these features.
Main Menu → Auto-Configuration
The default discovery mode is 1MPort. In this mode, for each DLCI discovered on the
network, a multiplexed network DLCI and a standard data port DLCI will be configured
and connected, and a Management PVC will be embedded in the network DLCI.
NOTE:
When auto-configuration creates a multiplexed DLCI, but a standard DLCI is
needed, change the DLCI to standard from the network DLCI Records screen:
Configuration → Network → DLCI Records
Other modes can be selected. See Setting Up Automatic Configuration in Setup of the
User’s Guide for information about other modes and how the Frame Relay Discovery
Mode can be changed.
No automatic configuration occurs until the network cable is connected. If you do not
want management links configured or automatic configuration, change the default
setting for the Frame Relay Discovery feature.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into the RJ48S modular jack.
3. Check that the Network DM (Data Mode) is on, and OOS (out of service) and
OOF/NS (out of frame/no signal) LEDs are off. If yes, the network interface is set
up correctly and is operational. If not, make sure both ends of the network cable
are properly seated and secured.
4. Verify that the network physical options are configured correctly.
Main Menu → Configuration → Network → Physical
5. Check Health and Status messages in the left column of the System and Test
Status screen to see the LMI status and verify that LMI is up.
Main Menu → Status → System and Test Status

network-related status message appears, refer to the status information in
Operation and Maintenance of the User’s Guide for possible reasons.
If the unit does not have ISDN backup capability, proceed to
Configuring SNMP Trap
Managers and Trap Dial-Out
on page 13.
Setting Up the ISDN DBM
These instructions are for units with ISDN backup capability. The ISDN BRI DBM
supports up to 2 B-channels.
The following guidelines apply:
Central site configuration guidelines:
– Set up the ISDN DBM physical interface.
– Configure a Link Profile for each remote site.
– Configure the unit to answer calls from the remote sites.
– Leave Automatic Backup Configuration disabled.
– Manually create DLCIs for the configured ISDN Links.
– Manually specify ISDN DLCIs as alternate DLCIs for PVC Connections and
Management PVCs after the primary DLCIs have been automatically discovered
on the primary network link or have been manually configured.

10
Remote site configuration guidelines:
– Set up the ISDN DBM physical interface.
– Configure a Link Profile for the central site in the first link profile, called HQ_Site.
When Automatic Backup Configuration is enabled, a backup DLCI will be
created automatically on the first ISDN link for each DLCI discovered on the
network interface.
– Configure the remote unit to originate calls to the central site. (A BRI DBM is
already configured to originate calls.)
– Enable the Automatic Backup Configuration feature.
– Set the criteria by which automatic backup will take place.
Setting Up the DBM Physical Interface
1. Configure the DBM interface.
Main Menu → Configuration → ISDN → Physical
2. Minimally, set the following configuration options:
– Interface Status set to Enable.
– Originate or Answer set to Answer for a central site, and set to Originate for a
remote site.
Service Profile ID1 (SPID)
Local Phone Number 1
Service Profile ID2 (SPID)
Local Phone Number 2
3. Save the configuration and return to the ISDN menu.
Setting Up ISDN Link Profiles
1. Select Link Profiles, then New.
2. Set up the ISDN Link Profiles.
– Name for the destination entered (e.g., Tampa). The default setting is HQ_Site.
– Link Status set to Auto.
– Phone numbers entered:
Originating System Answering System
Outbound phone number.
Valid characters can include:
Numbers (0–9)
Special characters * and #
Spaces
Inbound Calling ID1 and ID2. These
are the phone numbers of units that
calls will be accepted from.
Valid characters can include:
Numbers (0–9)
Remember to include local dial-out numbers (i.e., 9, then the number).
3. Save the configuration.
