issues as services and applications, rather than as circuits and protocols, for
exceptional WAN management performance.
To further leverage its Web browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
SNMP Managem ent
With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now
manage Verilink WANsuite units and their integral CSU/DSUs as a single
unit. With only one LAN segment in the network, all Verilink WANsuite
platforms can be managed by SNMP. By downloading all configuration
parameters from the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to
establish connectivity. Verilink’s WANsuite 6x30 product family allows any
port to be configured for any of its available service technologies through
simple software configuration. Network managers can now fine tune the
enterprise network for the lowest cost and highest performance.
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 non-proprietary 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 and a user table for monitoring and controlling
traffic.
