The demand for network intelligence is becoming pervasive. Every piece in the
WAN access chain needs to provide creative and cost-effective management
solutions that allow users to better monitor their network traffic. That’s why Quick
Eagle Networks has introduced the 4220 Access Multiplexer™. Here is an
access device that is available with full monitoring capabilities, enabling you to
take control of your network performance.

Besides this need for intelligence, access products have to provide an answer to
two other key business challenges: the ability to make better use of available
bandwidth, and the need to drive down total cost of ownership. The 4220
Access Multiplexer addresses both of these business concerns.

To maximize bandwidth usage, the device integrates data from one or two
external routers, together with voice traffic from a digital PBX, onto a fractional
to full T1/E1 WAN connection. Bandwidth allocation for the two data ports and
the drop-and-insert voice port is configurable through software.

The 4220 Multiplexer helps to reduce total cost of ownership for access devices
through its software-driven architecture that enables the device to be configured,
troubleshooted, monitored, and upgraded all from a remote location, meaning
that you don’t need to employ expensive resources at every location or send
your engineering staff all over the world just to keep your network running at
peak performance.

The 4220 Access Multiplexer – a more intelligent approach to WAN access.

Based on Quick Eagle Networks' sophisticated 4200 WAN Access Platform
architecture, this new device provides:

• Fractional to full T1/E1 support

• Frame Relay, Cisco HDLC, and Protocol Transparent support

• Two serial DTE ports

• Drop-and-insert port for voice integration from PBX

•

A full range of troubleshooting features, enabling:

• LMI conditioning

• Link-based testing and delay monitoring

• In-band Management

• Optional RMON-1 (frame-relay adapted) statistics

• Optional RMON-2 protocols and applications statistics

• Optional FRF.13 Frame Relay Service Level Agreement (SLA) Verification
