Statements of Compliance
FCC
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial envi-
ronment. This equipment uses, generates, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed in accordance with the operators manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause inter-
ference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
iv FRX/FRM 3.3 User Guide, Rev 04
Changes or modifications made to this device which are not expressly
approved by Cabletron Systems could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
DOC
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Com-
munications.
Le présent appareil nurique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radilectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
About This Manual
This manual supplements screen prompts and menus as an aid in configuring the database and
performing system operations on a Netlink FRX4000, FRX6000, or MMAC-Plus Frame Relay
Module (FRM). Before using the manual, you should be familiar with Netlink hardware, as
well as the protocols (frame relay, IP, SNA, etc.) you will be using.
Terminology and Conventions
This typeface represents general text. This typeface represents computer input and output. (This
text is dark cyan in on-screen versions of the manual, and black in paper versions.)
This symbol points to an informational note relating to the text, table, or figure that
immediately precedes or follows it.
This symbol and text identifies a cautionary note, the content of which is more
critical to heed than an informational note.
The following references to keyboard keys appear in the manual and/or on the screen:
[N] is a reference to a key on your keyboard (whereN is the key).
Enter means that you should type in the information, then press the [E nte r] key.
Type is similar to Enter, except that the word[E nte r] follows the information to be
typed (e.g.,type n [Enter]”).
Press means press (hit, strike) the key once. Pressing the [Enter] key afterwards is not
necessary.
[Ctrl] followed by one or two other key designations, must be struck simultaneously
with the other keys shown.
If a statement ends with a reference to a keyfor example, “....then press [Enter].—the period
is not part of the data to be entered. If a period should be entered, it will be shown as [.] . The
same applies to all other punctuation. When instructed to, for example,press [A], [B] from the
Main Menu, this means press [A], then [B], not [A] comma [B].
Screen Displays
Screen Displays are provided to show the general appearance of actual screens. They are only
examples—the information shown is not always representative of an operational system.

Introduction to Netlink Frame Relay Access Devices
Cabletron's Netlink family is designed to provide a comprehensive method of inte-
grating LAN-based systems and wide-area applications into a "blended" network.
Ranging from the FRX4000 network access node to the FRX8000 backbone switch,
each Netlink device can be a fully capable LAN router and a robust switch supporting
multiple access and routing protocols. FRX7000 and FRX8000 are documented in
separate manuals. The remaining products—FRX4000, FRX6000, and the Netlink
Frame Relay Module (FRM) for the MMAC-Plus—are covered in this manual.
FRX4000, FRX6000, and FRM are generally used to provide concentration and
access to remote devices. FRX4000 is a stand-alone device used where eight serial
interfaces or fewer are required. FRX6000 is a larger stand-alone device supporting
up to sixty-four serial interfaces, and can function as a central-site device for remote
FRX4000s or FRMs. The FRM is an 8-port module mounted into a Cabletron
MMAC-Plus chassis. (FRMs do not interact with other modules in the MMAC-Plus,
with the exception of a cable connection to a LAN interface module in the MMAC-
Plus, which provides LAN connectivity to the WAN interfaces on the FRM.)
FRX and FRM devices provide local and remote switching, and (on devices with
video interfaces) feature an intuitive, menu-based management structure that allows
complete local and remote control of other FRX/FRM devices.

Some typical FRX/FRM applications are:
SDLC-to-LLC2 and LLC2-to-QLLC conversion over frame relay
SNA and TCP/IP LAN/WAN integration—with or without routers
Banking applications—LAN, SNA, TCP/IP, async
Traffic aggregation and concentration to public frame relay services
"Front end" network to larger frame relay switches
X.25-to-frame relay gateway applications
Multiprotocol Support
FRX and FRM support the same protocols, listed below. Each FRX4000 includes
frame relay, SDLC, and SNMP, plus whatever additional protocols were purchased
with the device. The software for all of the listed protocols is included with every
FRX6000 and FRM.
