Having multiple remote sites connected to a single router interface also allows companies to save a considerable amount of money on routing hardware. It gives users precise monitoring of Frame Relay circuit bandwidth usage and costs with the use of its detailed reports on bandwidth utilization, line congestion and performance monitoring.
Users can easily customize reports to show real-time information at specified time intervals.
Users are notified immediately of status changes on their Frame Relay equipment - even before the next poll. As a result, Frame Relay carriers can enhance their report offerings to their customers. These reports can be used to determine a need for greater bandwidth or identify circuits with CIR greater than current need. Frame Relay Manager automatically creates an application model representing management support of Frame Relay firmware with its Dynamic Adaptive Modeling application. Additionally, one trap is defined which indicates changes to a virtual circuit.
