2 Description The FrameSaver NP 110 Frame Relay Service Unit (FSU) is a special purpose T1/FT1 CSU/DSU which provides management and diagnostic functions through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), transported over a Frame Relay network. It also includes an integral modem which supports dial-in access to the unit and to co-located equipment such as routers.
2 Description FrameSaver NP 110 provides a configuration option to capture and rank IP Traffic in either Top Conversation Pair or Top Talker/Listener mode. By examining Top IP Traffic statistics, the network manager can determine the local device or the host/client connections sending and receiving excessive traffic. DSX/Drop Adapter Option The FrameSaver NP 110 can be factory-optioned to include an integral DSX/Drop Adapter module (Drop & Insert).
2 Description Channel Bank In configuration (b), voice traffic is delivered toward the network from a PBX through individual FXS circuits. In this case, the FrameSaver NP 110 terminates the T1 facility and provides a “drop” function that separates the DS1 into a voice bundle. The bundle is then delivered to a channel bank for conversion into multiple FXS circuits and a single V.35 frame relay User Interface data circuit for the router.
2 Description ISDN Adapter Option The FrameSaver NP 110 can also be factory-optioned to include an integral ISDN Adapter module. The ISDN adapter includes four “U” ISDN TA Interfaces with two integral NT1 Inverse Multiplexers, thereby providing up to 512 Kbps of switched connectivity for network Backup and/or additional Bandwidth On-Demand.
2 Description ISDN Bandwidth On-Demand Bandwidth On-Demand provides an additional network connection for a second DTE (router) port based on a request from the DTE. In this configuration the NP 110 ISDN Adapter is protocol-transparent. The Router determines the protocol used. A typical network configuration showing simultaneous Bandwidth On-Demand and Backup connections is shown in Figure 2-5.
2 Description FrameSaver NP 110 The basic FrameSaver NP 110 includes a T1 interface, network-compliant Fractional Rate to Full Rate CSU/DSU, a Frame Relay switch function, a Frame Relay management module, and an SNMP Agent. The unit includes an internal V.90 modem and two Auxiliary ports. An integral call director connects the modem to the CSU, AUX 1 port, AUX 2 port, or Option module (ISDN) based on a DTMF code sent by the caller.

2 Description Operating Features This section contains operation information about the following: • Management Access • Software Download • Trap Reporting • Modem & Call Director Management Access Management access for control sessions or to retrieve alarm status is provided to the FrameSaver NP 110 via in-band Telnet, dial-in VT-100 console connection or directconnected VT-100 terminal.
2 Description WAN DLCI The in-band Frame Relay Management Channel WAN address is defined by the DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier). The WAN DLCI can be configured for a Dedicated PVC, or as a Tunneled channel within a Payload PVC. During initial installation the WAN DLCI can be set via the unit’s Local Console Port or Dial-In Console Port. Thereafter the DLCI can also be changed via in-band management access.
2 Description FrameSaver NP 110 also provides expanded management access to the unit through the following features: • Support for two IP Addresses. • An optional network-facing management channel via a specified IP Address on a specified payload PVC. • An optional CPE-facing dedicated PVC management channel. These optional management paths are shown in Figure 2-9. Custom er D ata Center C us to m er L AN End U ser Prem ise PO P R ou te r F ram eS aver N P 11 0 C us to m er & C us t.
2 Description With these features, NSP and/or customer management of the unit can be accomplished through three basic management modes: • The primary IP Address is associated with the network-facing dedicated PVC or Tunneled payload PVC. In this mode, there may be a secondary IP Address. The secondary IP Address can be associated with a specified payload PVC or a dedicated CPE-facing PVC. • The primary IP Address is associated with a specified payload PVC. There is no secondary IP Address.
2 Description WAN Management IP Address FrameSaver NP 110 utilizes one IP Address on the dedicated, network-facing Wide Area Network (WAN) management channel. This address is embedded within the various communications protocol stacks used for SNMP, Telnet and PPP. The unit’s WAN Management IP Address may be automatically learned from the first message received on the management PVC, or it can be set via the local or remote Console Port.
2 Description Trap Reporting The FrameSaver NP 110 provides a MIB which includes standard MIB-II groups and also contains a Private MIB Extension which supports the issuance of unique Traps. Traps are notifications of events which are significant in terms of performance and/or troubleshooting. Traps are issued either in-band or dial-out (out-of-band) via the on-board modem, depending on the specific fault detected.
2 Description Modem & Call Director The integral on-board modem can be switched to any one of several of the interfaces of the FrameSaver NP 110 by the call director. The call director connects the modem to the Base module, optional ISDN Adapter module, AUX 1 Port, or AUX 2 Port.
