CHAPTER 1ABOUT THE WANSUITE
5260/5230
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.
The WANsuite 5260 is a service-aware E1 CSU/DSU with two Network ports
(Net 2 serves as an equipment or DSX port or a second E1/FE1); two Serial
ports software-configurable for RS-232, EIA-530, V.35, or X.21 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 only differences between the WANsuite 5260 and 5230 are that the 5230
has one Serial port and does not have an E1 equipment (or DSX) port.
Capable of accommodating a wide range of network configurations, the
WANsuite 5260/5230 effectively combines voice, data, and network traffic
over a single transmission facility and works with non-proprietary network
management solutions.
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.
Another feature of the WANsuite product line, IP Gateway enables IP pa cket
routing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static routing
configuration 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
About the WANsuite 5260/5230 1-1
routes. After building the routing tables, WANsuite periodically broadcasts the
contents to neighboring routers so that your network can choose the most
efficient routes 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 effici ent and cost-effecti ve transit across y our netw ork.
Because IP Gateway enabl es WANsuite to route IP traffic eit her statical ly 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-client 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. The flexibility to reassign IP addresses saves the end user money by
eliminating the need for a single IP address for each piece of equipment on
the LAN.
NAT enables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP addresses − one set for
internal network use (or LAN traffic) and one set for external use (or Internet
traffic). This can provide a layer of security for a company by eliminating
outside access to internal IP addresses from the Internet.
The WANsuite 5260/5230 gives service providers and enterprise customers
the capability to monitor end -to-end netw ork pe rforma nce (with support of
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
frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor
network trends to aid in future capacity planning.
All of WANsuite 5260/5230’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the unit’s embedded Web serv er interfa ce (WANsight™) using
Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer™ . The Web server interface can be a ccessed
locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through
a Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced
monitoring and control capability that gives network administrators the
ability to plan future capacity requirements. To extend the WANsuite
5260/5230’s functionality even further, Verilink offers an element
management software system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
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 5260/5230 and benefits the initial installation of frame relay
circuits by eliminating the requirement for a frame relay test set. FrameStart
ensures that E1 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.
Features of the WANsuite 5260/5230
Performance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as
single-function devices such as CSU/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, Ve rilink'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 CSU/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 5260/5230 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 nex t-generatio n WAN acce ss architecture is built around a
PowerPC™ processor with 50 MIPS of processing power and 16 Mbytes of
onboard memory, 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 5260/5230 1-3
Optional Advanced Network Management
As an option for the WANsuite 5260/5230, 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.
NetVoy ant is an NT-based el ement m anageme nt system that in cludes 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.
