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:
H 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
Basic FLEX Features
for other features and additional information.
H 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 (Service Level Verification) 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:
— TruePutt 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
Advanced FLEX SLV Features
for other features and more information
about the additional SLV capability.
If the unit does not have the additional SLV features, it can be upgraded to FLEX
SLV capability at any time by ordering a FrameSaver FLEX 9123 SLV Activation
Certificate. The certificate can be ordered for a single unit or for many units. You
must have the OpenLane SLM system to activate the additional FLEX SLV
features in the unit.
