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.

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 RJ45) 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 (0.5 mm) or 26 AWG (0.4 mm).
 Ethernet wiring: Shielded twisted-pair wiring (CAT5, or better). The CAT5 wiring
must meet EIA/TIA-568 specifications with 24 AWG (0.5 mm) or 26 AWG (0.4 mm).
For standard cables, refer to
Cables and Connectors on page 22 for standard pin
numbers. For Paradyne cables, contact your sales representative to order them.

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.

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

3. Use a VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or PC to set up management
access to the unit. Insert the DB9 end of an 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 becompatible with the router’s. Refer to the
procedure on page 15 of
Configuration Setup . If connecting an external modem to
the COM port, refer to
