Features of the 8300 Endpoint
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. The 8300 Endpoint's
architecture and web-based user interface work together to address all access
issues such as services and applications, rather than as circuits and protocols, for
exceptional WAN management performance.
The 8300 Endpoint also allows firmware to be upgraded via the web from a
standard browser, with password control if desired.
SNMP Management
With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now
manage 8300 Endpoints and their integral CSU/DSUs as a single unit. With only
one LAN segment in the network, the 8300 Endpoint can be managed by SNMP.
By downloading all configuration parameters from the central site, no interaction is
required at remote sites to establish connectivity. The unit 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
The 8300 Endpoint's 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.
Overview and Advantages
The 8300 Endpoint is an innovative, highly intelligent, software-based WAN
access device optimized for ATM over G.shdsl access. This unit provides network
managers with all the tools necessary to monitor and troubleshoot voice, data, and
network transmission systems. The ability to use the 8300 Endpoint as an IP
Gateway greatly increases its flexibility, while reducing networking costs. In
addition, the 8300 Endpoint is a valuable tool for the following:
8300 Endpoint advantages include the following:
8300-A2-GB20-00
Measuring and reporting performance
Managing network resources to ensure optimum performance
Analyzing trends to aid in network planning
Uses the international standard G.shdsl.
