– COM Port in use by your PC: COM1 or COM2.
– COM Port Baud Rate is set to 19.2 kbps.
– Character length is set to 8 data bits.
– Parity is set to none.
– Stop bit is set to 1.
– Flow Control is set to None.
2. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the FrameSaver unit’s COM port.

About the Installation Procedures
There are two methods for installing and setting up the FrameSaver unit.
One person can install and set up the unit. If this is the case, see
Full Installation
and Setup .
An installer can physically install and set up access to the unit, and the network
operation center (NOC) can complete the setup. If this is the case, see
Minimal
Installation for Service Providers
on page 9.
Certain procedures are common to both the full installation and minimal methods.
These procedures are referenced in the full and minimal installation instructions
(starting with
Setting Up Local Management at the Central Site on page 12). Refer
to them, as needed.
Full Installation and Setup
An Easy Install screen is provided to simplify installation and setup. It can be used
for the first part of the installation when one person is installing and setting up the unit
from beginning to end.

It is assumed that frame relay service is turned on at the site.
1. Select the Easy Install feature.
Main Menu → Easy Install
2. Enter the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask.
3. Set TS Access to DLCI, then select a DLCI on the network interface that
will be used for the troubleshooting access link.
4. Create a Dedicated Network Management Link, selecting a DLCI for the
management link at the Which DLCI would you like to Create a
Dedicated Network Management Link on? prompt, which will be used
by the NOC to access the unit.
5. For a FrameSaver SLV 9128-II that will use its Ethernet port, select the Ethernet
Port Options Screen and configure the following:
– Enable Interface Status. If the NMS will be on a different subnet than the unit,
enter Yes at the Would you like to set the Node’s Default IP
Destination to Ethernet? prompt. Otherwise, enter No.
– If the IP Address and Subnet Mask are unique to the interface, enter them for
the port; otherwise, the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask will be used.
– Enter the Default Gateway Address; the IP Address that will be used for packets
without a route.
– Enable Proxy ARP if the unit will proxy for downstream FrameSaver units
learned via the proprietary RIP (Routing Information Protocol) feature.
– Press the Esc key to return to the Easy Install screen.
6. Configure the T1 network interface options to match the service provider’s settings.
7. Save the configurations.
8. Install the network cable (see
Connecting to the Network on page 17). The
FrameSaver unit starts discovering DLCIs and network time slots (see Automatic
Configuration
on page 12).

8
The remaining steps are optional, depending upon the application. They are performed
from the Main Menu.
9. If the unit will be enforcing CIR (Committed Information Rate) and EIR (Excess
Information Rate) on network frame relay links, enable Traffic Policing.
Main Menu → Configuration → System → Frame Relay and LMI
You can change other Frame Relay and LMI default settings, if necessary.
10. Configure each interface according to the local management interface (LMI) and
assigned line conditions supplied by the service provider.
Configuration → Network → Frame Relay
Configuration
→ Data Ports → Frame Relay
11. Set up SNMP local management (see Setting Up Local Management at the Central
Site on page 12).
12. Set up the modem, and the Call Directories if trap dial-out is desired (see
Setting
Up the Modem
on page 13).
13. If the unit is equipped with an ISDN DBM, set up the DBM (see
Setting Up the
ISDN DBM on page 14).
14. If SNMP traps are wanted, set up managers, select the desired traps, and
configure trap dial-out if desired (see
Configuring SNMP Trap Managers and Trap
Dial-Out
on page 16).
15. Save the configurations.
16. Verify the entire path from the remote unit to the NMS is functioning (see
Verifying
the End-to-End Path
on page 18).
17. If the DSX-1 interface will be used, install the DSX-1 cable (see
Connecting to the
DSX
on page 19). Time slots for the DSX-1 interface will need to be assigned to
the network interface (see Assigning DSX-1 Time Slots to the Network Interface in
Configuration of the User’s Guide).
18. Install the DTE cables (see
Connecting to the DTE (Router or FRAD) on page 20).
19. Install the modem cable (see
Connecting the Modem on page 21).
20. If the unit is equipped with an ISDN DBM, install the ISDN DBM cable (see
Connecting the ISDN on page 22).
21. If the FrameSaver SLV 9128-II will use its Ethernet port for management, install
the Ethernet cable (see
Connecting to the Ethernet on page 23).
22. Verify that data is being received (see
Verifying That Data is Being Received on
page 23).
23. Verify that all PVCs, including Management PVCs, are configured; and see
whether the PVC is active or not (see
Checking PVC Connections on page 24).
24. Verify the setup for backup, if applicable (see
Verifying that Data Can Be Passed
Between DBMs
on page 24).
The FrameSaver installation is complete.
