WHAT CAN THE AR300 DO FOR YOU?
Connect You to the Internet
The AR300 router provides you with high speed, unrestricted
access to the Internet. Advanced compression techniques
together with ISDN channel bundling mean that graphic
downloads simply speed along. An intelligent traffic sensor
automatically disconnects the ISDN call if there is no data to be
sent or received, so call charges are minimised. The AR300
supports advanced features that make it easy for your Internet
Service Provider to dynamically assign your Internet address
every time you surf the net.
Connect You to the Office
Many small offices and home offices require fast and efficient
access to a central office, to check email, access a database or
download a file. The AR300 supports Windows
® , Novell ® and
Apple ® Macintosh ® systems. The intelligent bandwidth
management facility automatically opens more ISDN channels
when extra capacity is required, and closes them when traffic
levels reduce. Powerful firewall features protect against
unauthorised access, and break-in attempts can be logged for
later analysis. If your office LAN utilises private IP addresses not
registered on the Internet, the AR300 can translate these
private addresses to a single registered IP address for
communication across the Internet, saving you the time and
expense of assigning registered IP addresses to each device on
your LAN.
Connect You to Other Trading Partners
The AR300 allows small offices to communicate with other
trading partners using ISDN, leased line, Frame Relay or X.25
services. Information such as reports, quotes and orders can be
transferred between the two offices. The AR300 does not place
any limits on the number of network users, so it will continue
to support you as your business grows.
Make Phone and Facsimile Calls Anywhere in the World
The AT-AR300(S) and AT-AR300(U) support one or two voice
connections, and the AT-AR310(S) and AT-AR310(U) support
four voice connections. Any combination of telephones,
facsimile machines, answering machines or modems can be
connected. Once connected, they behave as if connected to a
standard telephone network. Local, national and international
voice and facsimile calls can be sent and received as normal.
There is no need for a separate line for voice, facsimile and
data—one ISDN connection does it all. The two ISDN channels
are shared between data and voice as required. When both
channels are being used for data, the AR300 can be configured
to ‘bump’ one of these channels if a voice call is required, for
example when an emergency number is dialled.
