FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router Overview
The FrameSaverrDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) 9783 Router is a component in the
FrameSaver system. This system allows you to perform end-to-end service level
management across a hybrid FrameSaver DSL/ATM/Frame Relay network. QoS
(Quality of Service) capabilities of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) transport
protocol assures quality of service across the network. Service providers can isolate
and correct problems remotely from their NOC (Network Operations Center).
The FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router has an SDSL front end and is a manageable frame
relay aware endpoint. The router operates as a bridge or an IP router connecting a DSL
link to an Ethernet network.
The FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router is available as a:
HBasic Feature Set 1
HAdvanced SLV (Service Level Verification) Feature Set 2

2
Basic FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router
The FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router is used for data only and provides corporate LAN
access over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring. Copper pairs run from the
central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to create the local loop. The local
loop terminates on the customer premises at the demarcation point in a punchdown
block or network interface device (NID).

Finalizing the Router Configuration Setup
After the hardware installation, the router can be accessed locally or via Telnet to
configure the unit via the User Interface screen and the Command Line Interface.
Configuration Roles
The FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router has several interfaces that may be provisioned by
different groups. Examples include:
HFrame relay, ATM, and physical layer provisioning: typically set up by the CLEC
(Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) or frame relay service provider using
menu-driven interface accessible via ASCII terminal or Telnet.
HRouter provisioning with Command Line Interface (CLI): typically accessed by the
end user or frame relay NSP providing managed router service.
HSLM provisioning: typically set up by the CLEC or frame relay service provider.
COM Port Terminal Settings
The COM port is connected to a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal
emulation program.
"Procedure
Verify the terminal settings:
1. Configure the terminal or PC so it is compatible with the FrameSaver unit:
–Data Rate set to 19.2 kbps.
–Character Length set to 8 data bits.
–Parity set to none.
–Stop Bits set to 1.
–Flow Control set to None.
2. Press Enter on the terminal or PC keyboard to display the Main Menu.
If the Main Menu does not appear, recheck the terminal or PC settings (see
Step 1), or press the Enter key. Refer to Troubleshooting in the User’s Guide for
other possible explanations.

(frame relay PVC and ATM PVC).
8. Save the configuration.
Completing Setup of the Unit From the NOC
"Procedure
1. Access the remote FrameSaver unit on the TS Management Link that was set up
at the remote site.
2. Ping the FrameSaver unit five times within five seconds. The unit automatically
provisions the TS Access VC.
3. Configure specific frame relay options, including the Data Port Frame Relay LMI
settings, and any other configuration options requiring input or changes from the
default settings.
4. Set the SNMP Traps configuration options (see Configuring SNMP Trap Managers
and Traps on page 17).
5. Verify the entire path from the remote unit to the NOC NMS is functioning (see
Verifying End-to-End Management Path on page 17).
6. Verify that data is being received (see Checking That Data is Being Received on
page 18).
7. Using the OpenLane VC Provisioning Application or Telnet, create all customer
VCs. This requires creation of the DLCI on the user data port, an internal DLCI, the
VPI/VCI on the DSL interface, specifying all parameters (CIR, Be, Bc), and cross
connecting the VPI/VCIs on the network interface.
8. Verify that all PVCs, including Management PVCs, are configured and verify that
the PVC is active (see Checking PVC Connections on page 18).
In the User’s Guide, see Operation and Maintenance for additional status information,
and Troubleshooting for additional troubleshooting information.

17
Configuring SNMP Trap Managers and Traps
Once the FrameSaver unit is connected to the network, SNMP trap managers and
SNMP traps can be configured.
"Procedure
To enter SNMP managers and configure traps:
1. Select SNMP Traps.
Main Menu →Configuration →Management and Communication →SNMP Traps
2. Configure the following:
–Enable SNMP Traps.
–Identify the total Number of Trap Managers.
–Specify the IP address of the NMS(s) to which traps will be sent.
–Specify the Initial Route Destination for the Trap Manager(s).
–Select desired trap categories.
3. Save the configuration.
Verifying End-to-End Management Path
"Procedure
After installation of a remote unit, run an ATM Ping test from the HotwirerGranDSLAM.
1. From the Hotwire ATM Line Card’s Main Menu, select the ATM Ping test.
Diagnostics →ATM Ping (D-C)
2. Enter a VPI of 0 and a VCI of 35. Select a Direction of Endpoint. Select Start.
3. If the test is successful, select a Direction of Network. Select Start.
If both tests are successful, the VC has been tested from end to end.

18
Checking That Data is Being Received
"Procedure
To verify that data is being received:
1. From the FrameSaver DSL 9783 Main Menu, select Status, select Performance
Statistics,and then select either interface’s frame relay statistics.
Main Menu →Status →Performance Statistics →Frame Relay →Net1-FR1
2. Repeatedly Refresh the screen to verify that the Frames Received and Characters
Received counts under the Frame Relay Link statistics are increasing. Verify that
there are no errors under Frame Relay Errors.
If data is not being received or you are receiving errors, check your cable
connections and replace or repair a damaged cable.
Checking PVC Connections
"Procedure
To check PVC connections and verify that all PVCs, including management PVCs, are
configured and active:
1. From the FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router Main Menu, select PVC Connection
Status.
Main Menu →Status →PVC Connection Status
The PVC Connection Status screen shows all PVC connections, the interface
source and DLCI number of the incoming data linked to the interface, and DLCI
number for the outgoing data. You can also see whether the PVC is active.
2. Verify that each PVC is active.
–If active, the FrameSaver unit should be passing data.
–If not active, no data traffic can be carried by the PVC. If the PVC is configured
correctly, the circuit may be down.

19
Provisioning Data Circuits in OpenLane
Use the OpenLane Provision Circuit screen to add new circuits that start at the
FrameSaver DSL endpoint and traverse the SCM and ATM line card in the Hotwire
GranDSLAM. In addition the default VC sets (from 1 to 4), there is a group of 250 VCs
allocated to each line card that can be assigned to any port on the card. These custom
connections are used to carry the frame relay traffic.
HNote that before the custom cross connects are configured, the Maximum VCI
number for the uplink VP to be used by these custom connections must be
specified on the Max VCI per VPI screen and the apply changes executed.
HFor ATM line cards, custom connections can be used to expand the number of
VCs connected to the card. Each of the 250 VCs can be cross connected from any
VC on the uplink to any port on the line card.
The following information is collected by the Provision Circuit process:
HUplink VPI/VCI
HSlot number and Port number of DSL connection
HTraffic Profile
HDSL link VPI/VCI
HFrame relay DLCI (provided by NSP)
HFrame relay CIR, Be, Bc(provided by NSP)
A Circuit ID is then applied to the newly defined circuit, and stored in both the
FrameSaver DSL unit and in OpenLane.
Provisioning the Router Interface
The FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router defaults to bridge mode. Routing without bridging
and simultaneous routing and bridging are also options.
Use the bridge command from the CLI to configure the bridge and routing attributes.
Also, enter an Ethernet IP address and an DHCP IP address. Refer to the Quick
Reference for a summary of configuration options and CLI default settings.
