BOUT THE
The telecommunications network service market is rapidly changing, where
network monitoring, control, and higher performance in packet processing are
not only expected, but demanded, at competitive price points. Verilink’s
WANsuite family is based on our innovative, next-generation WAN access
architecture − a high ly flexible and po werful arch itecture that ca n meet th e
needs of many different customers in many different applications. Because it
is so flexible, WANsuite products will continually evolve, offering our
customers cutting-edge features at competitive prices.
WAN
SUITE
5160/5130
The WANsuite 5160 is a service-aware T1/FT1 CSU/DSU with two Network
ports (both of which operate in long-haul and short-haul mode); two Serial
ports software-configurable for RS-232, EIA-530, or V.35 electrical
connections; an asynchronous Supervisory port; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet
interface; four status LEDs; an LCD front panel; and three input control keys.
The WANsuite 5130 has one Serial port and does not have a Network 2 port.
Except for these two differences, the 5130 has the same features as the 5160.
Capable of accommodating a wide range of network configurations, the
WANsuite 5160 and 5130 effectively combine voice, data, and network traffic
over a single transmission facility and work with industry-standard network
management solutions.
All of WANsuite 5160/5130’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the units’ embedded We b server interface (WANsight™) using
Microsoft® Internet Explorer™ . The W eb ser ver interfa ce can be accessed
locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through
the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced
monitorin g and co ntrol cap abilit y that gives network administrators the
ability to plan future capacity requirements. To extend the WANsuite
5160/5130’s functionality even further, Verilink offers an element
management software system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
About the WANsuite 5160/5130 1-1
The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology lets network managers
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management
platform lets the end user see network activity (performance) and problems
(diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line or physical
circuit.
Verilink’s FrameStart™ technology is standard with the
WANsuite 5160/5130 and benefits the initial installation of frame relay
circuits by eliminating the requirement for a frame relay test set. FrameStart
ensures that T1 circuit status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access
link condition, and the various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting
features ar e availabl e and ac curate.
Another feature of the WANsuite product line, IP Gateway enables IP
packet rout ing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static
routing configurations or dynamic routing protocols (Routing Information
Protocol − RIP 1 and RIP 2 − or Open Shortest Path First − OSPF).
RIP 1 and RIP 2 allow routers to exchange routing information. WANsuite
then uses this information exchange to build routing tables for IP Packet
routes. After building the routing tables, WANsuite periodically broadcasts
the contents to neighboring routers so that your network can choose the most
efficient rou tes available.
OSPF uses link-state routing algorithms to calculate routes based on the
number of routers, transmission speeds, delays, and route costs. Using the
OSPF protocol, WANsuite works with other routers in your
telecommunications fabric to dynamically change routing “on the fly” to make
use of the most efficient and cost-effective transit across your network.
Because IP Gateway enables WANsuite to route IP traffic either statically or
dynamically across your LAN/WAN architecture, your need for costly routers
is substantially reduced. WANsuite is a one-stop solution that can help you
meet the requirements of your many different applications.
DHCP uses a server-clie nt architecture to assign IP addresses to PCs and
workstations on the LAN. The DHCP server dynamically assigns these IP
addresses, which can be either temporary or permanent, to each PC or
workstation (DHCP client). These IP addresses are "housed" on the DHCP
server.
NAT e nables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP addresses − one set fo r
internal network use (or LAN traffic) and one set for external use (or Internet
traffic). This can provide a layer of security f or a company by eliminating
outside access to internal IP addresses from the In ternet.
Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using
the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the
WANsuite 5160/5130 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you
to bridge separate LANs across a WAN so they operate as a single LAN.
The WANsuite 5160/5130 gives service providers and enterprise customers
the capability to monito r end-to -end n etwork p erforma nce (with support
for up to 256 virtual circuits) as well as the capability to verify Service Level
Agreements (SLAs); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or
1-2 WANsuite 5160/5130
frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor
network trends to aid in future capacity planning.
TCP Server, a feature of the WANsuite product line, provides connectivity
to multiple endpoints by associating a TCP port with each endpoint while
reducing the number of physical connections at the central site to one
10/100Base-T Ethernet port.
Features of the WANsuite 5160/5130
Performance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as
single-function devices such as CSUs/DSUs, but have not been optimized to
address higher level traffic issues such as service levels and integration.
Verilink's architecture and Web-based user interface work together to address
all access issues as services and ap plications , rather th an as circ uits and
protocols, for exceptional WAN management performance.
To further leverage its Web browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
SNMP Management
With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now
manage Verilink WANsuite units and their integral CSUs/DSUs as a single
unit. With only one LAN segment in the network, all Verilink WANsuite
platforms can be managed by SNMP. With self-learning functionality, these
platforms learn their frame rel ay environmen t and eliminate the need for
remote, trained personnel. By downloading all configuration parameters from
the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish
connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame relay or leased-line
services. Verilink’s WAN suite 5160/5130 allows any port to be configured for
any of its available service technologies through simple software
configuration. Network managers can now fine tune the enterprise network for
the lowest cost and highest performance.
Intelligent WAN Access Architecture
Verilink's next-gen eration WAN access architect ure is built around a
PowerPC™ processor, and works with non-proprietary network management
solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use
interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for
mapping services to ports, an endpoint table for configuring and monitoring
service endpoints, and a user table for traffic monitoring and control.
About the WANsuite 5160/5130 1-3
Optional Advanced Network Management
As an option for the WANsuite 5160/5130, Verilink offers a network
management system based on RedPoint's NetVoyant™ software, which was
designed to provide IT professionals with the information required to make
informed, enterprise-wide capacity-planning and investment decisions.
NetVoyan t is an NT -based element m anageme nt syst em that i ncludes an
ODBC-compliant database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility,
real-time diagnostics, and extensive reporting and trending application
support. The solution employs an open-system, multi-vendor support approach
for network management, monitoring, and the collection of statistics from any
SNMP-based networking device, including Verilink equipment already in the
field.
WANsuite extends the functionality of NetVoyant’s software by incorporating
customized configuration modules. This advanced network management
system is offered as an option for the WANsuite 5160/5130. Please contact
Verilink for availability and pricing information.
About FrameStart Technology
The WANsuite 5160/5130’s FrameStart technology ensures that frame relay
service is operational prior to installation and connection to other equipment.
FrameStart’s integral frame relay circuit installation and diagnostic tools help
reduce equipment and installation costs, simplify configuration setup, and
alleviate frame relay connection uncertainties − all in one unit.
The WANsuite 5160/5130 supports both FrameStart Install and FrameStart
Monitor modes as well as Layer 2 statistics gathering and diagnostic
capabilities that maximize network availability and manage the growth of the
network.
FrameSta rt Ins tall enables step-by-step validation of network operations and
requires no data terminal equipment such as routers or FRADs. If a DTE

10/100 Ethernet
NOTICE: For information on pinout assignments for this connector, refer to
Supervisory Port Pin Assignments on page A-10. See Ordering
Information on page A-6 for information on cables for this connector.
The Supervisory port performs several different functions. It serves as the
VT100 interface port, providing VT100 screens. It also supports asynchronous
PPP, providing access to the Web Server interface. In addition, the
Supervisory port is an asynchronous data port. Data is encapsulated in frame
relay packets and then transmitted through the Network port.
On power-up, the Supervisory port sends out diagnostic messages at the bit
rate of 115.2 kbps until the Supervisory service acquires the Supervisory port.
These diagnostic messages can disrupt the connected device; however, you
can configure the unit to disable their transmission.
NOTICE: A null modem (crossover) cable is required to connect a modem to the
Supervisory port.
The WANsuite 5160/5130 provides one 10/100 ETHERNET in terf ace . Th is
interface is an eight-pin modular jack that complies with standard
twisted-pair, 10/100Base-T requirements. The 10/100Base-T cable is supplied
by the end user. Refer to Ethernet Connection Pin Assignments on page A-9
for pin assignments and cable descriptions.
Ethernet LED Indicators
There are two unlabeled indicator LEDs on either side of the
10/100 ETHERNET jack. The LED on the left side of the jack pulses amber to
indicate da ta activ ity (eith er trans mit or re ceive). The L ED on th e righ t side of
the jack lights green to indicate that the link layer is operational.
Serial Interface(s)
The two SERIAL interfaces on the 5160 and the single SERIAL interfa ce on
the 5130 located on the rear of the units are multi-protocol interfaces
presented physically as DB-25 connections. The protocols supported by these
interfaces are RS-232, EIA-530, and V.35.
Optional cables that adapt the DB-25 interface to the 34-pin V.35 interface
are available. These cables are listed under Optional Equipment on page A- 6.
DB-25–to –DB-25 cables are al so available if your instal lation needs require
them. See Ordering Information on page A-6 for details. Pin assignments for
the Serial interface are als o listed in Appendi x A, Specifications.
