Automatic Configuration

The FrameSaver unit provides several automatic configuration features. Frame Relay

Discovery and configuration is one of these features.

Main Menu

Auto-Configuration

The default discovery mode is 1MPort. In this mode, for each DLCI discovered on the

network, a multiplexed network DLCI and a standard data port DLCI will be configured

and connected, and a Management PVC will be embedded in the network DLCI.

NOTE:

When auto-configuration creates a multiplexed DLCI, but a standard DLCI is

needed, change the DLCI to standard from the network DLCI Records screen:

Configuration

Network

→

DLCI Records

Other modes can be selected. See

Setting Up Automatic Configuration

Setup

of the

User’s Guide for information about other modes and how the Frame Relay Discovery

Mode can be changed.

No automatic configuration occurs until the network cable is connected. If you do not

want management links configured or automatic configuration, change the default

setting for the Frame Relay Discovery feature.

If the unit does not have ISDN backup capability, proceed to

Configuring SNMP Trap

Managers and Trap Dial-Out

on page 13.

Setting Up the ISDN DBM

These instructions are for units with ISDN backup capability. The ISDN BRI DBM

supports up to 2 B-channels.

The following guidelines apply:

Central site configuration guidelines:

– Set up the ISDN DBM physical interface.

– Configure a Link Profile for each remote site.

– Configure the unit to answer calls from the remote sites.

– Leave Automatic Backup Configuration disabled.

– Manually create DLCIs for the configured ISDN Links.

– Manually specify ISDN DLCIs as alternate DLCIs for PVC Connections and

Management PVCs after the primary DLCIs have been automatically discovered

on the primary network link or have been manually configured.

Remote site configuration guidelines:

– Set up the ISDN DBM physical interface.

– Configure a Link Profile for the central site in the first link profile, called HQ_Site.

When Automatic Backup Configuration is enabled, a backup DLCI will be

created automatically on the first ISDN link for each DLCI discovered on the

network interface.

– Configure the remote unit to originate calls to the central site. (A BRI DBM is

already configured to originate calls.)

– Enable the Automatic Backup Configuration feature.

– Set the criteria by which automatic backup will take place.

Setting Up the DBM Physical Interface

1. Configure the DBM interface.
