Chapter 4 - MultiFRAD Software
Setup Menu
The MultiFRAD 3000-Series Setup menu consists of 12 buttons in which you can point and click, an
Events window in the middle of the menu, and a status bar at the bottom of the menu. The 12
buttons allow you to display and change the protocol stacks, statistics, WAN port setup, Frame Relay
parameters, data port configuration, enable applications such as SNMP Agent, Telnet Server, WEB
Server, and assign a MultiFRAD password.
The Events window, in the center of the window, is a smaller version of the print console. It can be a
useful tool in times of troubleshooting. Its purpose is to provide information about the boot process
and ongoing information regarding the status of “events” such as the type of frame relay
management selected and which PVCs become active.
The status bar at the bottom of the Setup menu displays the status of the unit, e.g., Running, the date
that the unit was configured, the type of connection on the command port, e.g., if the pc connected to
the command port is using its serial port to communicate with the MultiFRAD or if the pc is
communicating with the MultiFRAD via an Ethernet connection. The last field on the status bar is the
Rights field which displays either Read/Write or Read only rights. The first user to communicate with
the MultiFRAD has Read/Write rights. This enables the first user to change the configuration of the
MultiFRAD. A second user has read only rights which means they can only display the configuration
of the MultiFRAD.
If your WAN port is configured for frame relay, then the button to the right is Frame Relay. If your
WAN port is configured for Point-to-Point, then the button to the right is PPP.
