Telecommunications Regulations

Equipment that complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult a trained technician.

Equipment that meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications is conformed by the registration number. Equipment that complies with Industry rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that the registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.

Applications

IP Traffic The demand for Internet applications (search engines, browsers, video conferencing,

e-commerce) has resulted in explosive growth in the area of client networks. Furthermore, serial and non-IP LAN applications are migrating to IP. This is driven by the success of the Internet. The Vanguard 6435, equipped with the latest software, addresses these needs with IP enhancements such as IP Multicast, RIP2, and Router Proxy.

Figure 1-3 shows a network with a Vanguard 6435 on one end of a link and Vanguard 6560s on the other. IP Traffic is being transported by Frame Relay. The Applications Ware software in the Vanguard nodes (the 6435 and the 6560s) has the capability found in most routers plus the ability of packaging IP traffic in Frame Relay frames. Additionally, the 6435 and the 6560s can back up IP traffic with dial-on-demand or ISDN links.

Virtual Private Network through Data Encryption

This application example (Figure 1-5) shows how a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be created by encrypting data before it is transmitted over Frame Relay or X.25 networks. There is no security and privacy for unencrypted data as it moves from one location to another through the public network. After encryption, the Vanguard 6435 offers secure transmission of data over any shared public medium, creating a virtual private network.

Applications

Multiple LANs The Vanguard 6435 and 6455 provide multiple LAN support for customers that need

to segment their LAN traffic. In the example in Figure 1-6, the customer has chosen to separate point-of-sale traffic from PC applications. Other customers choose to use the second LAN port for redundancy.
