FrameSaver from
Paradyne takes frame relay network access to a whole new level!
The FrameSaver 9120 frame relay
access unit is an SNMP-managed T1 / FT1 frame relay micro-switch with DSU/CSU
functionality that has been specifically designed for mission-critical frame
relay network access applications. It includes a DSX-1 "drop and
insert" port for voice traffic and two Nx64 frame relay data ports.
At the heart of every 9120 is a frame relay packet multiplexer. This frame
relay packet mux allows the 9120 to provide advanced physical and logical
management, transparent network restoral and money saving port and PVC
aggregation. The 9120 can aggregate frame relay data streams from two
independent sources like routers and FRADs into a single access circuit.
Multiple PVCs destined for the same location can also be multiplexed into a
single network PVC, further reducing frame relay port and CIR costs.
In addition to providing frame relay port aggregation, the Frame Relay AWare
(FRAW) packet mux provides the 9120's management functions with
"logical" PVC-based management and testing of individual PVCs. This
PVC-based network management and SNMP connectivity which is independent of
external routers, FRADs, or LAN adapters delivers true end-to-end management of
your frame relay network. The 9120 may also be used with the 9028 Compression
Unit to compress frame relay packet payloads.
