Percent Utilization Reports
The WANsuite 7205 employs two methods for reporting percent utilization of
bandwidth. Both methods are required to accurately report utilization on voice
and data services.
The first of these methods is the DS0 utilization monitor, which reports
utilization of voice bandwidth as it is received from the Network ports.
Through the DS0 utilization monitor screens, you can configure idle DS0
patterns and set high and low utilization alarms.
The other method for reporting percent utilization is High-Level Data Link
Control (HDLC) monitoring, which reports utilization on synchronous data
services transmitted via the three Network or two Serial interfaces. HDLC
monitor screens also let you configure high and low utilization alarms.
The unit will report utilization alarms if DS0 or HDLC utilization stays high
for any given 15-minute period or at the end of any 24-hour period during
which utilization drops below the user-specified threshold. The WANsuite
7205 saves utilization statistics in 15-minute increments for 24 hours, and
each 24-hour period is summarized for up to 30 days.
Test Access Jacks
The three sets of Bantam jacks on the WANsuite 7205 provide local test
access for the following: Network In, Network Out, Network Monitor,
Equipment In, Equipment Out, and Equipment Monitor. This gives
technicians quick and easy access to Layer 1 diagnostics.
SNMP Management
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. With self-learning functionality, these
platforms learn their frame relay environment and eliminate the need for
remote, trained personnel. Once an IP address has been established for a
properly connected remote unit, all configuration parameters may be
downloaded from the central site; no additional interaction is required at the
remote site to establish connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame
relay or leased-line services. Verilink’s WANsuite 7205 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.
Embedded Web Server
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.
