Ascend Pipeline 25Px Access Device
This communications device requires Release 4.0 or later. It combines the
capabilities of an ISDN terminal adapter and a LAN router, allowing high-speed
access to Internet services over digital facilities, or permitting a remote user to dial
into a main-site LAN server. It allows outgoing calls only. The Pipeline 25Px
connects to the serial port on a PC, to a PC's network access card, and to an MLX
extension jack on the control unit.
The Pipeline 25Px can use the system's 2B Data feature when it is programmed
for the MLX extension jack. This permits data communications of 112 or 128 kbps,
depending upon the digital facility, which must be ISDN PRI or NI-1 BRI. In
addition, the Pipeline 25Px allows Internet and LAN connections at 56 or 64 kbps.
One Pipeline 25Px is required for each PC, and you cannot connect a phone, fax
machine, or other device to the Pipeline 25Px. To use this device for high-speed
Internet access, you must have an ISDN account with an Internet service provider
(ISP), as well as client software for browsing, e-mail, and other applications.
NOTE:
For more information about installing and using the Pipeline 25Px from
Ascend Communications, Inc., contact your Lucent Technologies
representative and request the MERLIN LEGEND Communications
