Installing and Setting Up the 9820 FrameSaver Unit
The following sections guide you through installation and setup of a FrameSaver unit.
It is assumed that the FrameSaver unit is configured for factory default settings at the
start of installation.
For correct operation of the unit’s Hardware Bypass feature, both the network and user
port interface types need to be the same, and the combined length of their cables
should not exceed the maximum length limitation for the interface type (EIA-530A, V.35,
or X.21). In addition, both the source and primary destination DLCI numbers need to be
the same.
See the following illustration for an example of a network that includes FrameSaver
units at the central site (e.g., the company’s headquarters in Munich) and the remote
sites (e.g., branch offices in London and Singapore). User data PVCs provide
