MultiFRAD II Quick Start Guide

Introduction

Welcome to Multi-Tech's new MultiFRAD II™, model FR2201, a

Router/ Two-Port Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) that

encapsulates non-packetized data streams from serial and LAN

devices into frame relay frames and frames that data with header and

trailer information prior to sending it to a frame relay network. The

MultiFRAD enables non-frame relay devices to connect to a

common carrier frame relay network service or private frame relay

network. The FR2201 is designed with channels to two non-frame

relay devices, an Ethernet LAN connection for IP or IPX routing or

bridging, and a trunk interface to a Frame Relay network. On the

receiving end of the communication, the MultiFRAD strips away the

frame relay control information so the target device receives the data

packaged in its original form.

Since frame relay networks use shared resources, they typically

are more reliable and less expensive per month than equivalent

leased lines. Depending on the location and distances between

points, simple point-to-point networks can cost less per month than

leased lines. The cost savings are even greater when multiple

leased lines are replaced with frame relay.

The FR2201 has two data ports for Data Terminal Equipment

(DTE) devices that are either asynchronous or HDLC

synchronous.Asingle Ethernet LAN connection is provided for IP

or IPX routing and Media Access Control (MAC) layer bridging for

all other protocols on either a 10Base-T or AUI port connection.

The trunk connection provides the link to a synchronous Data

Communications Equipment (DCE) device for access to the Frame

Relay network.

Cabling your MultiFRAD II

Cabling your MultiFRAD involves making the proper Power,

Command Port, Ethernet, and Channel connections. Figure 3

shows the back panel connectors and the associated cable

connections. The MultiFRAD II supports up to 2 data channels.

Table 1 details the procedures for connecting the cables to your

MultiFRAD.

Table 1. Cabling Procedure

Step Procedure

1 Connect one end of a DB25 back-to-back cable to each of

the data channel connectors on the back of your

MultiFRAD (labeled CHANNEL 1-2). See Figure 3.

Connect the other end of each cable to a channel device.

NOTE: Both channels support the RS232/V.35 protocols,

and either asynchronous or HDLC synchronous RS232

data equipment such as multiplexers.

2 Connect one end of an DB25 (female) cable to the Trunk

connector (Figure 3). Connect the other cable end to your

T1 CSU/DSU or compatible link device.

3 To make the network connection, connect an RJ45 (UTP)

cable to the 10 BASE-T Ethernet connector or the male

connector for a 10Base5 cable to theAUI Ethernet

connector (shown in Figure 3). Connect the other end of

the cable to your LAN.

4 Connect the MultiFRAD to your PC with a standard RS232

cable. Plug the male end of the cable into the Command

Port (Figure 3) and the other end into the PC’s serial port.

5 Connect one end of the power supply to a liveAC outlet,

then connect the other end to the MultiFRAD as shown in

Figure 3. The Power connector is a 7-pin circular DIN

connector.

6 Apply power to the MultiFRAD by setting the Power switch

(Figure 3) to the “1” (on) position.

At this time your MultiFRAD is completely cabled. Proceed to the

next section to install your software.
