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 5330's
functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software
system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
The unit's built-in ServiceAware™ technology allows network managers to
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management
platform lets the end user 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 the WANsuite 5330 and
benefits the initial installation of frame relay circuits by eliminating the
requirement for a frame relay test set. FrameStart ensures that DDS 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.
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 browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
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. By downloading all configuration parameters from
the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish
connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame relay or leased-line
services. Verilink's WANsuite 5330 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.
