Upgrading a Basic Unit to SLV
Full SLV capability can be activated in basic FrameSaverDSL models at any time.
This is an optional feature that adds real-time and historical network performance
monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement) reporting capabilities to your
FrameSaver unit(s) and network. Simply order an Activation Certificate, providing the
model to be activated (9783), your OpenLaneSLM system license key number, and
the number of FrameSaver units whose SLV capability is to be activated.
The OpenLane SLM system, Release 5.3 or later, is required to schedule the activation
of the SLV feature and to manage the number of activations remaining on the
certificate. OpenLane also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the
management of the certificate.

2
When the Activation Certificate arrives, add the Activation Certificate Number to your
OpenLane SLM application’s database. Activations can occur at any time, for as many
units as desired, until no activations remain for the certificate. When ready to activate
units, select the units to be activated and schedule the activations. The activations
occur when scheduled, and OpenLane updates the certificate information.
Contact your sales representative for additional information.

2. Plug the power supply into the grounded power outlet and check the LEDs.
If any LEDs light, you have power. If not, refer to
Troubleshooting in the User’s
Guide for possible explanations.
3. Insert the self-mounting tie wrap in the top left hole (hole with a dark circle around
it) until it snaps securely into place. The tie wrap provides strain relief for the power
cord.
4. Loop the tie wrap around the power cord, thread it through the hole at the base of
the wrap, and pull it snugly around the cord.

5
Connecting to an Asynchronous Terminal or PC
A VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or a PC providing VT100 terminal
emulation must be used to set up access to and management of the unit.
Procedure
1. Configure the terminal or PC so it is compatible with the FrameSaver unit:
– Baud Rate set to 19.2 kbps.
– Character length set to 8 data bits.
– Parity set to none.
– Stop bit set to 1.
– Flow Control set to None.
2. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the FrameSaver unit’s COM port.

2. Enter the Node IP Address and Node Subnet Mask.
3. Select Create a Dedicated Network Management Link, and enter a DLCI, VPI, and
VCI at the ensuing prompts. The Management Link that is created will be used by
the NOC to access the unit.
4. If the Ethernet port will be used, select the Ethernet Port Options Screen. Enable
the interface. Respond Yes to the prompt Would you like to set the
Node’s Default IP Destination to Ethernet? and configure the
following:
– Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet interface.
– Enter the Default Gateway Address (the IP Address that will be used for packets
without a route).
– Press the ESC key to return to the Easy Install screen.
5. The Network 1 FRF.8 Encapsulation Mode default setting is Translation.
Encapsulation Translation used for carrying multiple upper layer user protocols
(frame relay PVC and ATM PVC).
Modify to Transparent to use SLV and multiplexed PVC functions.
6. Save the configuration.
7. Install the network cable (see
Connecting to the Network on page 10).
8. Optionally, install the Ethernet cable (see
Connecting to the Ethernet on page 11).
9. Install the DTE cable (see
Connecting to the DTE (Router or FRAD) on page 12).
Physical installation of the unit is complete; the NOC can now remotely access the unit
for additional 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 13).
5. Verify the entire path from the remote unit to the NOC NMS is functioning (see
Verifying the End-to-End Path on page 13).
6. Verify that data is being received (see
Checking That Data is Being Received on
page 15).
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 to the DLCIs on the V.35 port.
8. Verify that all PVCs, including Management PVCs, are configured; and to see
whether the PVC is active or not (see
Checking PVC Connections on page 15).
The FrameSaver installation is complete.
In the User’s Guide, see
Operation and Maintenance for additional status information,
and
Troubleshooting for additional troubleshooting information.
