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.

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.

the User’s Guide.
NOTE:
When any error conditions are detected, a status message appears along the
bottom right corner of the screen.

13
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.
4. Return to the Main Menu.
Verifying the End-to-End
DSL Provider Management Path
After installation of a remote site unit, run an ATM Ping test from the HotwireATM Line
Card.
Procedure
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.

14
Provisioning the Customer Data Circuits
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.
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 up link 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 DSL connection
Traffic Profile
DSL link VPI/VCI
Frame relay DLCI (provided by NSP)
Frame relay CIR, Bc, Be(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.

15
Checking That Data is Being Received
Procedure
1. From the FrameSaver DSL 9783 Main Menu, select Performance Statistics,and
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
Check PVC connections to verify that all PVCs, including management PVCs, are
configured, and to see whether the PVC is active or not.
Procedure
1. From the FrameSaver DSL 9783 Main Menu, select 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.
The FrameSaver installation is complete.
In the User’s Guide, see
Operation and Maintenance for additional status information,
and Troubleshooting for additional troubleshooting information.

be required by the regulatory inspection authority for the installation site, are the
responsibility of the customer.
6. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the
applicable Safety Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it
is installed. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and
inspection authorities to ensure compliance.
7. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of
two or more buildings. If products installed in separate buildings are
interconnected, the voltage potential may cause a hazardous condition. Consult a
qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists
and, if necessary, implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.
8. In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits, take
the following precautions:
— Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
