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

The FrameSaver DSL Router is available in two feature sets:
 Diagnostic Feature Set provides basic frame relay and diagnostic capability.
 Advanced SLM (Service Level Management) Feature Set provides the same
features as the Diagnostic Feature Set, plus service level management and
reporting capability.
Refer to
About FrameSaver DSL Devices in the User’s Guide for a list of FrameSaver
DSL router’s features, and the capabilities provided by each feature set.
Upgrading a Unit to Advanced SLM Feature Set
A FrameSaver DSL Router with the Diagnostic Feature Set can be upgraded to the
Advanced SLM Feature Set at any time by ordering a FrameSaver Advanced SLM
Activation Certificate (Feature Number 9788-C1-220). A certificate can be ordered for a
single DSL router, or for many DSL routers. You must specify the model to be activated
(for example, 9788-Rtr), your OpenLane SLM system license key number, and the
number of router activations to be included on the certificate.
The OpenLane®SLM system, Release 5.3 or later, is required toschedulethe activation
of Advanced SLM features and to manage the certificate activations included in the
certificate.
To learn more about activating the Advanced SLM Feature Set, refer to the
FrameSaver
SLV Activation Instructions
(Document Number 9000-A2-GK43), or contact your sales
representative.

Provisioning Data Circuits Before Installation
Before installing the router, 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™
 The default VC sets (from 1 to 4)
A group of 250 VCs can 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-connections 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 anyVC 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 Router on a flat surface, with clearance for the rear
connectors.
Procedure
1. Use an 8-pin modular cable (supplied with U.S. models).
Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled NET. Insert the other end into the
wall jack for DSL data communications.

2. Use an 8-pin Ethernet cablefor the Ethernet connection. Insert one endof 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.

Troubleshooting
LED Symptom Action
All LEDs are on. If the LEDs remain on for more than ten minutes, the router is
not functional. Unplug the router and reapply power. If the
ALM LED is still on, contact the service provider.
ALM LED only
remains on. The power-on self-test may have failed. Unplug the router and reapply power. If the alarm LED is still on, contact the
service provider.
ALM and TEST LEDs
are blinking. Firmware download may be in progress. If firmware download is not in progress or the LEDs continue blinking for
more than ten minutes, contact the service provider.
Do not
unplug the unit, unless instructed to do so by the service
provider.
ATM LED is off while
DSL LED is on. There is loss of cell delineation (OCD) due to line impairments. Contact the service provider.
DSL LED is off. Verify that the DSL cable is securely installed on both ends.
Unplug the unit and reapply power. If the problem continues,
contact the service provider.
DSL LED continues
blinking after the
power-on self-test
has completed.
The router is attempting to establish the DSL link, or adjusting
the DSL line rate due to line conditions. If the blinking
continues for more than ten minutes, contact the service
provider.
DSL and ATM LEDs
are on, but no data is
being transmitted.
The DSL link has been established, but there is no data
transmission. Verify the Ethernet connection. If the problem
persists, contact the service provider.
DSL, ATM, and Port
LEDs are on, but no
data is being
transmitted.
DSL and Ethernet links have been established, but there is
no data transmission. If the problem continues, contact the
service provider.
Port LED is off. Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely installed at both
ends, and at least one PC is connected and powered on.
Verify that the correct Ethernet straight-through or crossover
cable is installed. Refer to Step 2 on page 8.
System OK LED is off. Check that the power cord is securely installed on both ends.
If no LEDs are on, the power supply may be defective. Test
the outlet to verify power. If the outlet has power and the
problem persists, contact your service representative.
If other LEDs are on, the OK LED may be burned out. Unplug
the unit and reapply power, and watch all LEDs as the router
performs its power-on self-test. If the OK LED is functioning,
call your service representative.
TEST LED is on. A test initiated by the service provider may be active. Wait ten
minutes. If the LED does not go off, contact the service
provider.

Configuration Setup
Once the router is installed, it can be accessed locally through the menu-driven user
interface via an asynchronous terminal or PC connection, or remotely via a Telnet
session, and the router’s interfaces can be provisioned. The following provisioning can
be set up:
 Frame relay, ATM, and physical layer provisioning –Typically set up by the LEC
(Local Exchange Carrier) or CLEC (Competitive LEC) using the menu-driven user
interface via an ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program, or a
Telnet session.
 Router provisioning, using the CLI –Typically accessed by the frame relay
service provider providing managed router service, or by the end user.
 SLM provisioning –Typically set up by the frame relay service provider, LEC, or
CLEC.
As soon as the router’s COM port is connected to a terminal or PC, the menu-driven
user interface can be accessed. The terminal or PC’s configuration must be compatible
with the router’s COM port settings.

15
Procedure
To access the menu-driven user interface:
1. Verify the terminal or PC’s configuration:
—Data Rate is set to 19.2 kbps.
—Character Length is set to 8 data bits.
—Parity is set to None.
—Stop Bits is set to 1.
—Flow Control is set to None.
2. Press Enter to display the Main Menu.

Completing Setup From the NOC
Procedure
1. Access the router on the TS Management Link that was set up at the remote site in
Step 4 of
Using the Easy Install Feature .
2. Ping the router five times within five seconds. The router automatically provisions
the TS Access VC and accepts the destination IP address of the Ping as its
temporary IP address, which is used on the management VC interface.
3. If necessary, open a Telnet session and configure any specific configuration options
that require input or changes from default settings. Create all customer VCs,
including internal DLCIs and VPI/VCIs on the DSL interface, and cross-connect the
DLCIs to the VCCs.
