Intelligent WAN Access Architecture
Verilink's next-generation WAN access architecture is built around a
PowerPC™ processor with 50 MIPs of processing power and 16 Mbytes of
onboard memory, and works with nonproprietary network management
solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use
interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for
mapping services to ports, an endpoint table for configuring and monitoring
service endpoints, and a user table for traffic monitoring and control.
Optional Advanced Network Management
As an option for the WANsuite 5330, Verilink offers a network management
system based on RedPoint's NetVoyant™ software, which was designed to
provide IT professionals with the information required to make informed,
enterprise-wide capacity planning and investment decisions. NetVoyant is an
NT-based element management system that includes an ODBC-compliant
database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility, real-time
diagnostics, and extensive reporting and trending application support. The
solution employs an open-system, multi-vendor support approach for network
management, monitoring, and the collection of statistics from any SNMP-
based networking device including Verilink equipment already in the field.
WANsuite extends the functionality of NetVoyant’s software by incorporating
customized configuration modules. This advanced network management
system is offered as an option for the WANsuite 5330. Please contact Verilink
for availability and pricing information.
