Upgrading a Unit to the Advanced SLM Feature Set

Full Service Level Management (SLM) capability can be activated in units that have the

basic diagnostic feature set at any time. This is an optional feature that adds real-time

and historical network performance monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement)

reporting capabilities to your iMarc unit and network. Simply order a Feature Activation

Certificate and provide the model to be activated, your OpenLane®SLM system license

key number, and the number of iMarc units to be activated to SLM capability. You can

order the certificate for a single unit or for many units.

OpenLane SLM Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of SLM features

in units, and to manage the number of activations remaining on the certificate.

OpenLane also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the management

of the certificate.

When the Feature Activation Certificate arrives, add the Activation Certificate Number to

your OpenLane SLM application’s database. Activations can occur at any time, for as

many units as desired, until no activations remain for the certificate. When ready to

activate units, simply select the units to be activated and schedule the activations. The

activations occur when scheduled, and OpenLane updates the certificate information.

Contact your sales representative for additional information.

Safety Instructions

Please refer to the Important Safety Instructions on page 20.

Installing the Power Supply and Cord

Procedure

1. Insert the power cord’s plug into the POWER jack.

2. Plug the power supply into the grounded power outlet and check the LEDs.

If any LEDs light, you have power. If not, refer to Troubleshooting in the iMarc SLV

Operations Guide (9000-A2-GB33) for possible explanations.

3. Insert the self-mounting tie wrap in the leftmost hole (hole with a dark circle around

it) until it snaps securely into place. The tie wrap provides strain relief for the power

cord.

4. Loop the tie wrap around the power cord, thread it through the hole at the base of

the wrap, and pull it snugly around the cord.

Connecting to an Asynchronous Terminal or PC

A VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or a PC providing VT100 terminal

emulation must be used to set up access to and management of the unit.

Procedure

1. Configure the terminal or PC so it is compatible with the iMarc unit:

— Baud Rate set to 19.2 kbps.

— Character length set to 8 data bits.

— Parity set to none.

— Stop bit set to 1.

— Flow Control set to None.

2. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the iMarc unit’s COM port.

3. Insert the other end of the cable into the terminal or PC.

4. Tighten the screws on each side of the connector to secure the cable.

5. Press Enter on the keyboard to display the Main Menu.

If the Main Menu does not appear, recheck the terminal or PC settings (see Step 1),

or press the Enter key. Refer to Troubleshooting in the iMarc SLV Operations Guide

(9000-A2-GB33) for other possible explanations.

Verifying that Self-Test Passed

To verify that the unit passed its self-test, go to the System and Test Status screen.

Main Menu →Status →System and Test Status

The results of the self-test appear directly under the screen title.

If any failure messages appear, reset the unit by disconnecting, then reconnecting the

power cord. The unit will perform the self-test again. If the failure reappears, call your

service representative for assistance.

About the Installation Procedures

There are two methods for installing and setting up the FrameSaver unit.

One person can install and set up the unit. If this is the case, see Full Installation

and Setup.

An installer can physically install and set up access to the unit in leased line mode,

and the network operation center (NOC) can switch the unit to frame relay mode

and complete the setup. If this is the case, see

An installer can physically install and set up access to the unit, and the network

operation center (NOC) can complete the setup. If this is the case, see Minimal

Installation for Service Providers (Leased Line Mode) on page 12.

Certain procedures are common to both the full installation and minimal methods. These

procedures (starting with Setting Up Local Management at the Central Site on page 14)

are referenced in the full and minimal installation instructions. Refer to them, as needed.

Easy Install Screen Example

2. Enter the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask.

3. If the Ethernet port will be used, select the Ethernet Port Options Screen, and

configure the following:

— Enable Interface Status. If the NMS will be on a different subnet than the unit,

enter Yes at the Would you like to set the Node’s Default IP

Destination to Ethernet? prompt. Otherwise, enter No.

— 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 iMarc units learned via

the proprietary RIP (Routing Information Protocol) feature.

— Press the Esc key to return to the Easy Install screen.
