FrameSaver FLEX Feature Sets
Depending upon the model ordered, the FrameSaver FLEX unit has the basic
FrameSaver frame relay and diagnostic capability, or it is enhanced with additional
SLV (Service Level Verification) 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 FLEX Feature Set. Models with this feature set provide basic FLEX
capability, which includes the following:
— 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
on page 1-4 for other features and additional
information.
Advanced FLEX SLV Feature Set. Models with this feature set (sometimes
referred to as Feature Set or Group 2) provide all the basic FLEX capability,
plus advanced SLV 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
— 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
on page 1-7 for other features and more
information about the additional SLV capability.
If the unit does not have the additional SLV features, full FLEX SLV capability can
be activated at any time by ordering an Activation Certificate. The OpenLane SLM
system, Release 5.3 or later, is required to schedule activation of FLEX SLV
features in units, and to manage activations.
