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.
Changes or modifications made to this device which are not expressly
approved by Cabletron Systems could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipm ent.

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 numérique n’émet pas de bruits radilectriquespassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique édic par le minisre des Communications du Canada.
About This Manual
Rev Date Reason for Update
01 March 1998 General availability
This manual supplements screen prompts and menus as an aid in configuring the database and
performing system operations on a Frame Relay Module (FRM). Before using the manual, you
should be familiar with FRM and SmartSwitch 9000 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 keyboard input and video output.
(This text is dark cyan in on-screen versions of the manual, and black in paper versions.)
In on-screen versions of the manual, items in blue are links to other places in the manual.
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 [Enter] key.
Type is similar to Enter, except that the word[Enter] 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 key—for example, “....then press [Ente r].—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.

Product Overview
The Frame Relay Module (FRM) is a high-performance, multiprotocol branch access
device, capable of transmittinh LAN data, legacy data (e.g., SDLC, bisync, async),
voice, and fax over a single frame relay link. A powerful management capability
allows allocation of frame relay bandwidth to ensure that each type of traffic receives
the necessary quality of service.
The FRM family shares much functionality and compatibility with Cabletrons Smart-
Switch 1800, FRX4000, and FRX6000.
Figure 1-1 Network Example
Each FRM is a two-slot module that mounts into a SmartSwitch 9000. An FRM can
interact with other FRM modules, but not with other modules in the SmartSwitch
9000, with the exception of a cable connection from each FRM to a LAN interface
module in the SmartSwitch 9000, which provides LAN connectivity to the WAN
interfaces on the FRM.
Each FRM with a video interface features an intuitive, menu-based management
structure that allows complete local and remote control of other FRMs, as well as
SmartSwitch 1800s, FRX4000s, and FRX6000s.

1-2 Frame Relay Module 4.0 User Guide, Rev 01
Some typical 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
Each FRM supports these routing and access protocols:
Frame Relay
X.25
SNA/SDLC
SNA/LLC2
Bridging
IP
IPX
BSC
Async
Management Functions
Each FRM supports these management functions:
Local SNMP agent, with Sets from network manager on some MIB variables
Manageable via Cabletron’s Spectrum®, SPEL, or Netlink OmniView
NetView Service Point function
Control via local monitor, remote FRM, or local/remote async terminal
File transfer, database backup/restore, and software updates between devices
Local configuration
Centralized alarm routing
