(IAD)
Through its dual T1 DSX/CSU network interfaces the SHARK™ IAD can
support up to 3 Mbps of integrated voice and data. To provide added bandwidth,
two additional T1 modules can be inserted into the LAN slots as add/drop
multiplexed T1s for access to a PBX or other CPE device. The WAN T1s
support TR08 Mode 1 operation that enables the SHARK™ IAD to integrate
directly into a voice switch, lowering a carrier's cost. SF and ESF are supported
as well. The data services on the T1 may be groomed at the central office and
then be directed to their appropriate backbone networks.
Integrated The SHARK™ IAD provides an integrated Digital Cross Connect that controls
the flow of the DS0s from the network T1’s to either voice or data interfaces.
The voice capabilities include up to 24 analog voice circuits and a T1 digital
voice connection for PBX integration. The SHARK™ IAD supports one 10/100
BaseT, multiple T1 CSU/DSU, and multiple V.35 interfaces. Both IP and Frame
Relay are supported. The router is an IP router. You can use Frame Relay or
PPP as a Data link Transport Layer over the WAN link.
Trouble-free The integrated architecture of the SHARK™ IAD makes it easy to setup and
maintain either locally through its craft port or remotely via a WEB Browser/IP
connection through the WAN or 10/100 BaseT (Fether) interface. The entire
SHARK™ IAD system can be configured via one of its many management
interfaces. Whether you choose the GUI (HTTP) or the CLI (RS232 or Telnet)
interfaces, the SHARK™ IAD will fit into your provisioning and monitoring
management architecture. The SHARK™ IAD can be configured remotely or
by the local craft port on the SHARK™ IAD chassis. Both allow for full access
to all of the SHARK™ IAD's services and features.
NOTE: The GUI (HTTP) can only be used over the WAN and
10/100 BaseT interfaces. The Craft (RS232) and Facility Data
Link (FDL) ports do not support the GUI.
In addition, the SHARK™ IAD has an integral full-featured IP router that
enables carriers to provide customers with a fully manageable LAN in addition
to network interfaces. The router was designed for easy provisioning and
security through its DHCP and NAT features. Also, the router has an integrated
Frame Relay Assembler/Dissembler (FRAD) that is able to handle any frame
relay traffic from the network and hand IP off to the customer's Ethernet LAN.
