IQ Probe
Frame Relay Monitoring Probe
|
ADTRAN's industry-leading and award-winning product family continues to
provide more flexibility with the addition of the new IQ Probe. The IQ Probe is
a monitoring device placed between a router and a DSU/CSU. The unit provides
comprehensive Frame Relay monitoring independent of the physical connection to
the network and is derived from the established ADTRAN DSU IQ and TSU IQ.
Real-time measurements of Frame Relay metrics are stored in the IQ Probe.
These metrics include statistics on throughput and utilization per port and PVC,
availability, utilization by protocol, top talkers, lost frames, PVC state,
excess bursting above CIR, network congestion (FECN, BECN, and DE), and
end-to-end delay on any or all PVCs. This data is crucial for pinpointing
specific traffic demands and problem sources in the network, for analyzing
traffic patterns, and for general maintenance and troubleshooting of the Frame
Relay circuit.
The statistics are stored in the IQ Probe in a standard ASN.1 format making
the statistics available to any SNMP management platform or trend analysis
package. ADTRAN offers IQ View, a powerful Windows-based network management
system. IQ View combines the features of a complete SNMP management platform and
network trend analysis tool in one easy-to-use, low-cost package.
The IQ Probe supports multiple ways to access the collected performance data.
This management flexibility accommodates both the service provider and the end
user in any type of network configuration. Options include simple VT 100
connection, front panel, management access through in-band dedicated or shared
PVCs, SLIP/PPP or ethernet, and combination management. Combination management
allows for simultaneous and independent management by the service provider and
the end user.
The IQ family provides automatic dial backup upon interruption of Frame Relay
services. The IQ Probe monitors both the physical link and the Frame Relay
signal to determine if an interruption has occurred. Once detected, the unit
automatically initiates a dial-up call around the Frame Relay network. A host IQ
unit initiates and accepts calls to and from IQ units at remote sites. Once
connected, the host unit merges backup traffic with the primary traffic still
being received from unaffected remote sites. The router or Frame Relay device
connected to the IQ Probe still receives all data as Frame Relay traffic over
the primary connection, allowing a virtually transparent transition. Once the
failed condition has been cleared and the Frame Relay interruption is over, the
IQ unit automatically restores traffic to the primary link.
Additional features such as an easy-to-use front panel interface and modular
option cards combined with the quality, service and support that ADTRAN is known
for makes the IQ Probe the obvious choice for Frame Relay monitoring. The IQ
series also includes the DSU IQ, TSU IQ, TSU IQ+ and the Nx IQ module for the
TSU Multiplexer family.
