Figure 2-2. Using the MAX as a telecommuting hub
Corporate
headquarters
LAN
In this sample network, a telecommuter in a home office uses a Pipeline 25 and Frame Relay to
log in to the corporate LAN. Users on a remote office LAN access the backbone through a
Pipeline 400 with a Switched-56 connection. A customer can access selected corporate
network resources by means of a Pipeline 50 with an ISDN BRI connection. A mobile user
with an analog modem can dial in to the backbone, provided that the MAX has a digital
modem card installed.
Notice that each user can access the MAX through a different type of line. While one user
might access the MAX by using the switched services on an ISDN BRI or Switched-56 line,
another might require a nailed 56K Frame Relay circuit.
Overview of MAX configuration
Before you configure the MAX, you should create a network diagram. Configuration tasks
generally consist of:
