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 family is based on our innovative, next-generation WAN access
architecture
−
a highly flexible and powerful architecture that can meet the
needs of many different customers in many different applications. Because it
is so flexible, WANsuite products will continually evolve, offering our
customers cutting-edge features at competitive prices.
The WANsuite 7105 is a rack-mounted unit designed to occupy a single slot
position of the Verilink AS2000 rack or shelf. The AS2000 shelf has several
different variations: (1) a dual-line shelf that accommodates two cards, (2) a
quint-line shelf that can accommodate up to five cards, and (3) a multi-line
shelf that can accommodate up to 13 cards. A service aware T1/FT1
CSU/DSU, the WANsuite 7105 has three Network ports (all of which operate
in long-haul or short-haul mode); two Serial ports software-configurable for
RS-232, EIA-530, EIA 530A, or V.35 electrical connections; an asynchronous
Supervisory port; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface; six status LEDs, and
three sets of test access Bantam jacks. Capable of accommodating a wide
range of network configurations, the WANsuite 7105 effectively combines
voice, data, and network traffic over a single transmission facility and works
with non-proprietary network management solutions.
All of WANsuite 7105’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the unit’s embedded Web server interface (WANsight™) using
Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer™. The Web server interface can be accessed
locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through
the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced
monitoring and control capability that gives network administrators the
ability to plan future capacity requirements. To extend the WANsuite 7105’s
functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software
system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
