About the Hotwire 8300 Endpoint
Introduction
The Hotwire
(IAD) that manages voice and data applications in an ATM network. The
8300 Endpoint terminates a standards-based Symmetric High-Bit Rate Digital
Subscriber Line (SHDSL) that originates from a Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer (DSLAM) and provides interfaces for the end user's communications
equipment.
The 8300 Endpoint is a service-aware IAD with the following hardware:
The Circuit Emulation Service (CES) support provides for the encapsulation of
TDM traffic from end-user equipment into ATM cells for transport across the WAN
to the DSLAM and on to the ATM network. This allows for the continued use of
existing TDM equipment at the customer premises while the ATM network
continues to grow and move further out to the edge. This unit supports CES over
the CBR port and the Serial port.
A router or bridge using PPP/HDLC protocols connects to the 8300 Endpoint's
Serial port. The unit encapsulates the PPP data into ATM cells using Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 1483. Any router/bridge supporting PPP over
ATM (PPPoA) RFC 1483 encapsulation can be used at the other end of this ATM
connection.
The IP Gateway feature enables IP packet routing throughout a LAN/WAN
network architecture using static routing configuration or dynamic routing protocols
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) 1 and RIP 2, or OSPF (Open Shortest Path
First), Dynamic Host Communications Protocol
Translation (NAT).
