T HE SMART SWITCH REMOTE ACCESS MODULEBecause of the strong personal computer presence in the business environment, a move tographical user interfaces, and the need to make the best use of available resources, there is agrowing demand for high speed LAN access for remote devices. PC users need to be part of a work-group or enterprise LAN, and remote access from home, field offices, and other remote locationshas become a necessity.With the demand for remote LAN access, the remote device’s requirement for bandwidth hasexceeded the capabilities of traditional analog modems. High-speed digital dedicated lines cancertainly provide sufficient bandwidth for LAN interconnection. However, because of the highmonthly charges associated with dedicated services, the costs are prohibitive for individual users.New forms of networking are now possible and affordable using the Integrated Services DigitalNetwork (ISDN). ISDN is being deployed by major telecommunications companies world-wide.With ISDN services, the costs of LAN interconnection are based on actual usage — the user gets thebandwidth of dedicated digital service at dial-up prices.Our products offer internetworking solutions for small businesses as well as large corporations.The SmartSwitch Remote Access Modules are versatile wide area networking products designedfor the SmartSwitch 9000. They provide SmartSwitch 9000 users with an integrated solution forboth LAN and WAN access. Their capabilities and performance match the requirements that high-end network connectivity users expect. The 9W006 and 9W007 expand the SmartSwitcharchitecture to provide ISDN and analog modem access. The analog modem access is provided viadigital modem technology, and can be supported over ISDN or channelized T1 lines.The 9W006 and 9W007 SmartSwitch Remote Access Modules are installed directly into theSmartSwitch 9000. They include four flexible WAN interfaces providing ISDN, analog modem (viadigital modem), and T1/E1 or channelized T1 access. The 9W006 can support up to 96simultaneous switched digital connections, and up to 48 simultaneous switched digital/analogmodem connections. The 9W007 can support up to 120 simultaneous switched digital connections,and up to 60 simultaneous switched digital/analog modem connections.T HE S MART SWITCH R EMOTE A CCESS M ODULE N ETWORKThe SmartSwitch Remote Access Module can be used with a mix of bridges, routers, hosts, PCs, andworkstations. These combinations provide internetworking capabilities that will allow devices tocarry out LAN-to-LAN applications such as telecommuting, electronic mail, multi-mediatransmission, Imaging, and CAD. Devices “dial up” into a single system using a multi-line huntgroup to extend the capabilities offered by an enterprise LAN. |
