Minimal Installation for Service Providers
In this set of procedures, once the unit is installed and minimal configuration is
completed using the Easy Install feature, the NOC can complete and verify the setup.
Physically Installing the Unit and Setting Up for Remote Access
1. Follow Steps 1 through 4 of
Full Installation and Setup on page 7.
2.
For non-managed networks, set TS Access to DLCI, then select a DLCI on the
network interface to be used for the troubleshooting access link.
For managed networks, create a Dedicated Network Management Link, selecting
a DLCI for the management link at the
Which DLCI would you like to
Create a Dedicated Network Management Link on?
prompt. The TS
Access Management Link that is created will be used by the NOC to access
the unit.
3. Save the configurations.
4. Install the network cable (see
Connecting to the Network on page 12).
5. Install the Ethernet cable (see
Connecting to the Ethernet on page 14).
6. Connect test equipment to the user data port, and have a BERT (Bit Error Rate
Test) performed between the far-end device and the FrameSaver unit.
7. Remove the test equipment and install the DTE cable (see
Connecting to the DTE
(Router or FRAD) on page 15).
Physical installation of the unit is complete; the NOC can now remotely access the unit
for additional configuration.
Completing Setup of the Unit From the NOC
1. Access the remote FrameSaver unit.
–
For non-managed networks, ping the FrameSaver unit five times within
five seconds. The unit automatically provisions the TS Access DLCI as a
non-multiplexed management DLCI.
–
For managed networks, access the unit using the dedicated management link.
2. If the Ethernet port will be used, select the Ethernet Port Options Screen, and
configure the following:
– If the IP Address and Subnet Mask are unique to the interface, enter them for
the port; otherwise, the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask will be used.
– Enter the Default Gateway Address; the IP Address that will be used for packets
without a route.
– Enable Proxy ARP if the unit will proxy for downstream FrameSaver units
learned via the proprietary RIP (Routing Information Protocol) feature.
– Press the ESC key to return to the Easy Install screen.
3. Configure the DDS network interface options to match the service provider’s
settings.
