FrameSaver Diagnostic and SLM Feature Sets
Depending upon the model ordered, the FrameSaver unit has the basic
FrameSaver frame relay and diagnostic capability, or it is enhanced with additional
SLM (Service Level Management) reporting capability. These are referred to as
feature sets, which provide different levels of intelligence for monitoring, managing,
and reporting performance of the unit.
The two feature sets include:
Basic Diagnostic Feature Set.
Models with this feature set provide basic
FrameSaver capabilities, which include:
— Leased Line mode for standard DSU installation and operation
— Device health and status
— Layer 1 (Physical) and Layer 2 (Frame Relay) performance statistics
— Basic physical testing and non-disruptive PVC diagnostics
— A troubleshooting DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier) for service
provider use and remote management
— Limited RMON (Remote Monitoring) functionality
— Multiplexed management PVCs
See
FrameSaver Diagnostic Feature Set
on page 1-5 for other features and
additional information.
Advanced SLM Feature Set.
Models with this feature set provide all the basic
diagnostic capability, plus advanced Service Level Management features.
When additional SLV data is collected and the unit is accessed from an
OpenLane SLM system, Web access to the following information is available:
— TruePut™ Technology using Frame and Data Delivery Ratios (FDR and
DDR)
— Web browser access to all diagnostic and reporting functions
— Historical SLA (Service Level Agreement) verification and trend reports
— Real-time RMON (remote monitoring) alarms and configurable alarm
thresholds
— Real-time and historical network performance graphs
— Multiplexed customer PVCs
See
FrameSaver SLM Feature Set
on page 1-10 for more information about
the additional SLM capability.
If the unit does not have the SLM feature set, full SLM capability can be activated
at any time by ordering a Feature Activation Certificate. The OpenLane SLM
system Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of advanced SLM
features in units, and to manage activations.
