A b o u t t h e W A N s u i t e 7 2 0 5 1-3
The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology allows network managers to
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management
platform allows the end user to see network activity (performance) and
problems (diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line, or
physical circuit.
Verilink’s FrameStart™ technology is standard with WANsuite 7205 and
benefits the initial installation of frame relay circuits by eliminating the
requirement for a frame relay test set. FrameStart ensures that E1 circuit
status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access link condition, and the
various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting features are available
and accurate.
All of WANsuite 7205’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 7205’s
functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software
system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
Features of the WANsuite 7205
Performance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as
single-function devices such as CSU/DSUs, but have not been optimized to
address higher level traffic issues such as service levels and integration.
Verilink's architecture and Web-based user interface work together to address
all access issues as services and applications, rather than as circuits and
protocols, for exceptional WAN management performance.
To further leverage its Web server interface, Verilink's new architecture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or
higher. If you use other Internet browsers to access the Web server
interface, screen elements will not display as described in this manual.
Mini-Dacs
The WANsuite 7205’s built-in mini-dacs lets the unit switch or groom any
DS0 from the primary Network 1 port to any of its interfaces. The mini-dacs
offers complete grooming independent of DS0 or time slot.
