Overview The Motorola Vanguard 100 Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) connects serial
devices to a Frame Relay network. This FLASH-based Vanguard is available either
with or without an integral DSU daughtercard, DIM Site daughtercard, ISDN
daughtercard, or Voice daughtercard, in a desktop-size standalone enclosure, as
shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. Motorola Vanguard 100
The Vanguard 100 can be ordered in mono FRAD or duo FRAD configurations with
either two or three serial ports, respectively.
You can use the optional second port for dial backup or as a second user port,
permitting two applications with different protocols share the same Frame Relay
circuit.

Features
Features
Standard Feature
Set
The Motorola Vanguard 100 base unit includes the following standard feature set:
• X.25 Service
• Frame Relay Service
• Asynchronous Protocol
• Transparent Polled Asynchronous Protocol
• Simple Network Management P rotocol

bundles appears in the software release notice for the currently shipping software
release.
DSU Functionality The DSU daughtercard provides a 56 kbps point-to-point DDS1 interface that
conforms to the AT&T 62310 or ANSI T1E1.4/91-006 standards.
The DSU is FCC Part 68-registered.
Diagnostic loopbacks from the telephone company are supported. You activate local
diagnostics from the Control Terminal Port (CTP).
CTP Manageability You can manage the Motorola Vanguard 100 from the CTP for configuration,
reporting, and troubleshooting.
Vanguard 100 is available in two and three serial port versions. Ports have the
following characteristics.

Features
Memory The board contains 1 Mbyte of FLASH memory and 2 Mbytes of DRAM.
Default Report Log
Size
On software releases prior to 4.35, 140 data buffers were allocated for reports, for a
total of 200 reports.
For the 4.35 software, 10 data buffers are allocated for reports, for a total of 20
reports that can be logged on the Vanguard 100, thereby saving 130 data buffers.
There is no additional configuration required to recover these buffers.
Support for 57.6
Kbps
The SLIP and PAD ports on the Vanguard 100 now support a baud rate of 57.6 kbps.
Note
The 6525 and Vanguard 200 do not support 57.6 kbps.

Memory DRAM Recovery
Memory DRAM Recovery
Introduction On software prior to Release 4.35, 65 kilobytes was allocated for configuration
memory size internally, which is identical to the allotment for the 6525.
For the Vanguard 100, 65 kilobytes is unnecessary, since configuration memory size
is only 8 kilobytes.
The software has changed to use some of this memory for new protocols. Vanguard
configuration memory is reduced to 16 kilobytes, saving approximately 220 data
buffers or 48 kilobytes of RAM.
Recovery
Conditions
Consult the following table concerning conditions for memory resource recovery.
Recovery
Procedure
Use the following procedure to recover memory DRAM.
If... Then...
You purchased a node with 4.35
software already installed
No upgrade is required
The first page of the Node Stats
Record shows the decompressed
configuration memory (DRAM) to be
16384 bytes
No upgrade is required
Release 4.23 software is running Use one of these two options:
• Take no action: the Release 4.35
functions with the 65 kilobyte
configuration memory size that
Release 4.23 initially set up
• Upgrade the node to recover
memory DRAM
Step Action
1
Save your configuration memory using a TFTP or kermit transfer.
2
Default the node CMEM using the Control Terminal Port.
(i.e., entry 13 in the Main menu).
3
Restore the saved configuration memory. (Booting the node is not
necessary.)

Pre-Installation Procedures
Pre-Installation Procedures
Site Preparation Ensure that the selected site is free of accumulated dust and environmental extremes.
Caution
All Motorola Vanguard 100 devices should be used in environments designed for
computers and electronic equipment. In areas susceptible to lightning, take
precautions to prevent damage to electronic equipment. Contact your telephone
company, or an electronic accessories vendor, for information on lightning
protection equipment.
Power Source Choose a site that is within an appropriate distance of a power source. Depending on
your application and the country in which you operate the Motorola Vanguard 100,
this must be a grounded 100 to 240 VAC outlet.
Warnings and
Cautions
The following special notices apply to all equipment handling procedures in this
operator’s guide.
Warning
Motorola Vanguard 100 daughtercards and DIMs are sensitive to electro-static
discharge, which can damage components. Only trained, qualified technicians
should perform procedures outlined in this guide to ensure proper handling and
grounding procedures.
Connecting Ports
Warning
Ports that are capable of connecting to other apparatus are defined as SELV. To
ensure conformity with the EN60950 standard - check that these ports are only
connected to ports of the same type on other apparatus.
Attention
Les ports qui sont susceptibles d’être connectés à des équipements sont désignés
comme TBTS. Pour garantir la conformité à la norme EN 60950, n’interconnecte
ces ports qu’avec des ports du même type sur des autres matériels.
Achtung
Anschlusse, die mit anderen Geraten verbindet werden konnen, sind als SELV
beschrieben. Um Konformitat mit EN 60950 zu versichern, sichern Sie es, daß diese
Anschlusse nur mit den des selben Type auf anderen Geraten verbindet werden.

FCC Part 68 and Telephone Company Procedures and Requirements for DSU
FCC Part 68 and Telephone Company Procedures and
Requirements for DSU
Before You Begin Before the Motorola Vanguard 100 can be connected to the network, you must:
• Provide the local telephone company with the equipment’s registration
number
• Order the proper connections
How to Order
Connections
To order the proper connections, provide the telephone company with the following
information:
• Interface type
• Required USOC jack connector number
• Service code
• Facility interface codes
Troubleshooting
Your Connection
If any of your equipment is not operating correctly, immediately remove it from the
telephone line before damaging the network. If the telephone company is aware of
the problem, they may temporarily disconnect your service. Whenever possible, the
telephone company notifies you in advance of the disconnection.
If advance notice is not feasible, you are notified as soon as possible. Once notified,
you can correct the problem. If necessary, it is your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Customer-Provided
Telephone
Equipment
FCC regulations and telephone company procedures prohibit connection of
customer-provided equipment to telephone company-provided coin service (central
office-implemented systems). Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
Occasionally, the telephone company may make changes in their equipment,
operations, or procedures. If these changes can affect your equipment or service, the
telephone company provides written notice so that you can make the necessary
changes to maintain uninterrupted service.
Contact your telephone company if you have any questions about your telephone
line.
In some circumstances, the telephone company may ask you for information about
the equipment that is connected to the telephone line. Within the United States (at the
request of the telephone company), you should provide your equipment’s FCC
registration number. This number is located on the unit’s label.
