Introduction
The telecommunications network service market is rapidly changing, where
network monitoring, control, and higher performance in packet processing are
not only expected, but demanded, at competitive price points. Verilink’s
WANsuite 5650 is a feature-rich network termination unit (NTU) for
managing multiple applications and mixed-mode packet-based services
−
including high-speed Internet access
−
at price points expected of single-
function devices.
The WANsuite 5650 is a G.shdsl/TDM network termination unit (NTU)
equipped with a network port, an asynchronous supervisory port, a user-
selectable multi-protocol serial interface, a G.703 port, nine status LEDs, and
four input control buttons.
Features of the WANsuite 5650
High Speed Network Interface – G.shdsl (Single pair, High-speed Digital
Subscriber Line) provides synchronous line rates that will adapt from
2.312 Mbps to 192 kbps. Its spectral compatibility with other DSL services
and extended reach and rate capabilities make G.shdsl the preferable
broadband service delivery mechanism over copper lines for today's service
provider. By extending the addressable market, more end users than ever
before will now be able to obtain true broadband services.
Flexible User Interfaces
The WANsuite 5650 is equipped with two end-user interfaces: a multi-
protocol DCE port and a G.703 port. The multi-protocol serial interface can
be easily set by the end user for V.35, V.36, or X.21 to meet your specific
data communications needs. The G.703 port provides you up to 2.048 Mbps
(E1) of bandwidth for your telecommunications equipment. Maximum
