Radio Frequency Interference Regulations

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Vanguard Managed Solutions could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

This is a Class A product. Operation of this equipment in a residential environment may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to correct the interference at his/her own expense.

This product was verified under test conditions that included use of shielded DTE cable(s). Leased line cables with 1.5 turns through a ferrite cylinder were also used. Use of different cables will invalidate verification and increase the risk of causing interference to radio and TV reception.

You can obtain the proper cables from Vanguard Managed Solutions.

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.

Introduction

This section describes several typical applications for the Vanguard 6435/6455:

Multimedia Traffic

IP Traffic

Virtual Private Network (VPN) From Leased Line to Frame Relay With the Vanguard 6435

Multiple LAN

Multimedia Traffic Figure 1-2 shows two Vanguard 6435s linked to a Vanguard 6560 at a main office.

The Vanguard 6435 connects a remote ATM site to a main bank location. The

Vanguard 6435 connections are:

56K link (through a 56K DSU/CSU daughtercard) to the main bank location.

ATM async or sync connection (through one of the serial ports or a DIM Site Daughtercard).

• Video camera connection (through a RemoteVUΤΜ Daughtercard).

• Phone connection (through a Single-Port or Dual-Port Voice Daughtercard).

The branch bank site shows how a Vanguard 6435 can handle the connection requirements with these connections:

• 128K link (through the FT1 or FE1 Daughtercard).

• Multiple video cameras (through one or more RemoteVUΤΜ Daughtercards).

Ethernet LAN connection to the branch bank server.

Transaction terminal (through one of the built-in serial ports).

Phone system (using one of the Voice Daughtercards, such as the Dual-Port FXS, or the FT1).

Cluster controller with attached devices, such as terminals or printers, (through one of the built-in serial ports).

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.

Applications

Voice over Frame The Vanguard 6435 and Vanguard 6455 can support Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) Relay or Voice over or Voice over IP (VoIP) as shown in Figure 1-4. In this example, the Vanguard 6435 IP supports multiple voice lines in the remote branches, which can be set up as

extensions on a PBX. These voice connections can be routed over Frame Relay or over IP, or routed over both transmission paths. The Frame Relay link can provide a high-speed connection between branches and the head office for voice and data. The LAN (Ethernet) link connects the Vanguard 6435 with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide the IP link (for a possible company Intranet).

Virtual Private This application example (Figure 1-5) shows how a Virtual Private Network (VPN) Network through can be created by encrypting data before it is transmitted over Frame Relay or X.25 Data Encryption 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.

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.
