A concentration and network access device, usually a router, which provides protocol conversion into the frame relay format.
A communications device that converts an asynchronous, outgoing data stream into the format required by a frame relay network, and performs the same function in reverse for an incoming data stream. Similar to the packet assembler/disassemblers (PADs) used in a packet-switched networks, FRADs enable asynchronous devices such as PCs to communicate over frame relay networks. See frame relay and PAD.
(n.) Frame relay assembler/disassembler, used to interface a LAN with a frame relay WAN.
a piece of networking equipment that assembles and disassembles data frames
acronym for Frame Relay Access Device or Frame Relay Assembler/Disassembler

A FRAD (frame relay access device; also sometimes referred to as a frame relay assembler/dissembler) is a box that encapsulates (puts frame relay header and trailer information on) outgoing data packet and decapsulates (removes frame relay headers and trailers from) incoming packets.
Frame Relay Access Device. Also known as Frame Relay Assembler-Disassembler
Frame Relay Access Device. An interface between customer DTE (data terminal equipment) and a frame relay data circuit.
Frame Relay Access Device. A combination of hardware and software that is used to convert communications packets from formats like TCP, SNA, IPX, and others into frames that can then be sent over a frame relay network.
Frame Relay Assembler/Disassembler (FRAD); A device that perform frame relay encapsulation & de-encapsulation for HDLC/SDLC-based protocols.
Frame Relay access device. Any network device that provides a connection between a LAN and a Frame Relay WAN. See also Cisco FRAD and FRAS.
Frame Relay Assembler/Dissembler. A FRAD connects non-frame relay devices to the frame relay network.
FRAD (Frame Relay Access Device or Frame Relay Assembler/Disassembler) is a device that turns data packets into Frame Relay frames that can be sent over Frame Relay network and turns the received Frame Relay frames into data packets. Its assembly/disassembly functionality is similar to a PAD or Packet Assembler/Disassembler, which is used for accessing X.25 networks.
