FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router Overview
The FrameSaver®DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) 9783 Router is a component in the
FrameSaver system. This system allows you to perform end-to-end service level
management (SLM) across a hybrid FrameSaver DSL/ATM/Frame Relay network.
Service providers can isolate and correct problems remotely from their NOC (Network
Operations Center).

The router has an SDSL front end and is a manageable frame relay aware endpoint. It
operates as a bridge or an IP router that connects a DSL link to an Ethernet network.
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). A typical example of using the FrameSaver DSL 9783
Router in a network configuration is shown below.
The FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router is available in two feature sets:
 Basic Feature Set 1 provides basic frame relay and diagnostic capability.
 Advanced SLV (Service Level Verification) Feature Set 2 provides basic features,
plus SLV management and reporting capability.

Refer to About FrameSaver DSL Devices in the User’s Guide for a list of FrameSaver
DSL 9783 features, and the capabilities provided by each feature set.
Upgrading a Basic Unit to SLV
A basic FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router can be upgraded to full SLV capability at any time
by ordering a FrameSaver SLV Activation Certificate. A certificate can be ordered for a
single 9783 router, or for many 9783 routers. The OpenLane®SLM system, Release 5.3
or later, is required to schedule the activation of SLV features, and to manage the
certificate activations included in the certificate.
To upgrade a basic 9783 router to full SLV capability, order the FrameSaver SLV
Activation Certificate (Feature No. 9783-C1-220), providing the model to be activated
(i.e., 9783-Rtr), your OpenLane SLM system license key number, the number of 9783
router activations to be included on the certificate.
To learn more about activating SLV capability, refer to the
FrameSaver SLV Activation
Instructions
(Document No. 9000-A2-GK43), or contact your sales representative.

Wiring and Cables You May Need
The following wiring and cables are used with this product, which uses standard
interface connectors:
❑Standard connectors: An 8-pin modular (similar to RJ48C) or 6-pin modular
(similar to RJ11) wall jack for the DSL network connection.
❑DSL wiring: Unshielded twisted-pair wiring (CAT3, or better). The CAT3 wiring must
meet EIA/TIA-568 specifications with 24 AWG (.5 mm) or 26 AWG (.4 mm).
❑Ethernet wiring: Shielded twisted-pair wiring (CAT5, or better). The CAT5
wiring must meet EIA/TIA-568 specifications with 24 AWG (.5 mm) or
26 AWG (.4 mm).
For standard cables, refer to
Cables and Connectors on page 21 for pin numbers.
For Paradyne cables, contact your sales representative to order them.

Prior to Installing the Router
These Installation Instructions assume that the virtual circuits at the DSLAM have
already been configured. Provisioning of these circuits can be simplified by using the
OpenLane SLM (Service Level Management) system, as indicated in
Provisioning Data
Circuits in OpenLane .
Provisioning Data Circuits in OpenLane
Use the OpenLane SLM system’s 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, and the default VC sets (from 1 to 4). A group of 250 VCscan be allocated
to each line card, which can be assigned to any port on the card. These custom
connections carry the frame relay traffic.
 Note 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.
 For 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:
 Uplink VPI/VCI
 Slot number and Port number of the DSL connection
 Traffic Profile
 DSL link VPI/VCI
 Frame relay DLCI (provided by NSP)
 Frame relay CIR, Be, Bc(provided by NSP)
A Circuit ID is then applied to the newly defined circuit, and stored in both the router and
the OpenLane SLM system.

Installing the Router
Place the FrameSaver DSL 9783 Router on a flat surface, with clearance for the rear
connectors.
Procedure
1. Use the supplied 8-pin DSL network cable (for use in the U.S.), or a 6-pin DSL
network cable (using connectors similar to RJ11), as applicable, for the DSL
connection. Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled NET on the router.
Insert the other end into the wall jack for DSL data communications.
For domestic models, go to Step 3 on page 7.
2. For certain international models, a ferrite
choke has been provided. Place the ferrite
choke on the network cable, as close as
possible to the rear panel.
Close the two halves around the cable
and snap the latch shut.

3. Use an 8-pin Ethernet cable for the Ethernet connection. Insert one end of the cable
into the jack labeled ETHERNET.
—Use a straight-through cable to connect the other end of the cable to an
Ethernet hub. Do not connect to the hub’s optional Uplink connection with a
straight-through cable; the Uplink connection requires an Ethernet crossover
cable.

—Use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect to a PC with an Ethernet Network
Interface Card (NIC) installed or a hub’s Uplink connection.

4. Use a VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or PC to set up management
access to the unit. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the router’s COM
port. Tighten the screws on each side of the connector. Insert the other end into the
terminal or PC.
The terminal or PC’s configuration must be compatible with the router’s. Refer to the
procedure on page 13 of
Configuration Setup . If connecting an external modem to
the COM port, refer to Connecting an External Modem on page 23.

5. Insert the supplied power cord’s round end into the jack labeled POWER. Plug the
transformer into an AC outlet.
Install the supplied tie wrap for strain relief, as shown.
Installation of the hardware is now complete. When the power cord is installed, the
router goes through a power-on self-test.
Power-On
When power is applied, the router performs self-diagnostics and the PWR LED is on.
The self-diagnostics include a power-on self-test where all of the LEDs are on.
Refer to
Status LEDs on page 10 for information about the LEDs. Refer to
Troubleshooting on page 11 for LED indications requiring action.
