Introduction and

Description

1.1 Introduction

The Multi-Tech Systems MultiFRAD™ 100-Series, Model number FR111, is a

one-port Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) with 56K DSU that

encapsulates non-packetized data from a serial device into frame relay

frames and is responsible for framing that data with header and trailer

information prior to transmission to a frame relay network. The Multi-

FRAD allows a non-frame relay device to connect to a common carrier

frame relay network service or private frame relay network. The access

device is designed with an internal 56K Data Service Unit (DSU) that

allows a single frame relay permanent virtual circuit (PVC) to be

connected to a 56K DDS circuit. On the receiving end of the communi-

cation link, the MultiFRAD serves to strip away the frame relay control

information in order that the target device is presented with the data

packaged in its original form.

The versatility of the MultiFRAD provides for a smooth integration with

existing equipment; e.g., multiplexers, routers, legacy equipment such

as cluster controllers, and asynchronous devices such as PCs running

remote control software. The non-frame relay device connects to the

data port on the back of the MultiFRAD and is capable of synchronous

data transmission up to 56K bps or asynchronous data transmission up

to 57.6K bps. The network connection is provided by the trunk port

which directly connects to the frame relay network.

1.2 About This Manual

This manual describes the MultiFRAD, and tells you how to install and

configure the unit. The information contained in each chapter is as

follows:

Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

Chapter 1 introduces the MultiFRAD 100-Series. A typical application

is presented with a discussion on ordering a frame relay line and how to

configure a MultiFRAD. A list of relevant specifications are provided at

the end of the chapter.

Chapter 2 - Front and Back Panel Descriptions

Chapter 2 describes the front panel indicators and back panel connec-

tors. The front panel contains the LEDs for the data and trunk status.

The back panel provides cable connections to the data port, trunk port,

and a power connection for an external power supply.

Chapter 3 - Setup

Chapter 3 provides unpacking instructions, a setup procedure for

connecting cables and direction as to when you should configure the

unit. Also, after the unit is configured and if a V.35 interface is needed

for the data device, a procedure for changing the shunt to the V.35

position is provided.

Chapter 4 - Software Loading and Configuration

This chapter provides procedures on how to load the software utility and

configure the unit when a pc with a Windows application is connected to

the MultiFRAD. If a dumb terminal is connected to the MultiFRAD, the

unit can still be configured using the ASCII terminal menu system that is

present in the memory of the unit.

Chapter 5 - Software Utility Descriptions

This chapter provides a complete description of the Windows based

software used on the MultiFRAD 100-Series. From an icon in the

MultiFRAD program group, the Main menu is displayed. From the Main

menu, the data Port and trunk can be configured. Trunk statistics,

diagnostics, and the download feature are also described.
