WAN
SUITE
5370
Verilink’s WANsuite 5370 is a feature-rich, intelligent integrated access
device (I
required to meet the needs of today’s expanding Supervisory Contro l and
Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications. SCADA systems monitor, manage,
and control distribution facilities. Power, water, gas, and other utility
companies use SCADA to remotely read meters and to monitor and control
valves or relays. A SCADA system can dramatically increase a facility’s
efficiency and reduce operating costs by eliminating the need for expensive
“Truck Rolls.” Today’s SCADA environment demands higher bandwidths
than older, more traditional, analog modem systems. Frame Relay networks
have cost effectively responded to that demand.
The WANsuite 5370 is a single-network-port, service-aware DDS DSU with
two serial ports software-configurable for RS-232, EIA-530, or V.35 electrical
connections. Additionally, an asynchronous Supervisory port, with an RS-232
electrical connection only, supports PPP, tty, and SCADA. An asynchronous
Auxiliary port, also RS-232, supports PPP and SCADA. The WANsuite 5370
also has a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface, four status LEDs, and three input
control keys.
All of WANsuite 5370’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the unit’s embedded We b server interface (WANsight™) using
Microsoft
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 5370’s
functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software
system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology allows network managers to
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 5370 and
benefits the initial installation of frame relay circuits by eliminating the
requiremen t for a frame rel ay test se t. Fram eStart ens ures that DDS circ uit
status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access link condition, and the
various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting features are available
and accura te.
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. 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 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 for a company by eliminating
outside access to internal IP addresses from the Int ernet.
Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using
the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the
1-2 WANsuite 5370
WANsuite 5370 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you to
bridge sep arate LAN s across a WAN so they operat e as a sin gle LAN.
The WANsuite 5370 gives service providers and enterprise customers the
capability to m onitor end -to-end network perfor mance (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 need; 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 5370
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, 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 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 WANsuite 5370 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 with 50 MIPS of processing power and 16 Mbytes of
onboard memory, and works with nonproprietary 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.
Optional Advanced Network Managemen t
As an option for the WANsuite 5370, 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. NetVoyant is an
NT-based element managem ent sys tem that includes a n ODB C-compl iant
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 5370. Please contact Verilink
for availability and pricing information.

Supervis or y Port
The SUPERVISORY PORT is a DB-9 female DCE connector that supports a
variety of configurable parameters, including port speed, character size, parity,
and stop bits. The Supervisory port speed can be set to 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bps. Default settings for the
Supervisory port are 19200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
NOTICE: For information on pinout assignments for the DB-9 female DCE
connector, refer to Supervisory and Auxiliary Port Pin Assignments on
page A-8. See Ordering Information on page A-4 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.
About the WANsuite 5370 1-9
Auxiliary Port
10/100 Ethernet
Upon power-up, the Supervisory port can send out diagnostic messages until
the Supervisory service acquires the 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 AUXILI ARY PORT is also a DB-9 female DCE connector that supports the
same configurable parameters as the Supervisory port with the addition of
flow control. The Auxiliary port speeds are also the same as the Supervisory
port’s and the defaults are the same. However, the Auxiliary port’s only
function is to support asynchronous data transmission (i.e., SCADA).
The WANsuite 5370 provides one 10/100 ETHERNET interface for SNMP and
Web bro wser acce ss and fo r access to the IP Gatewa y feature. This int erface
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-7 for pin
assignments and cable descriptions.
Serial Interfaces
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 data
activity (either transmit or receive). The LED on the right side of the jack
lights green to indicate that the link layer is operational.
The two SERIAL interfaces located on the rear of the WANsuite 5370 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.Their part numbers are listed under Optional Equipment on
page A-4. DB-25 to DB-25 cables are also available if your installation needs
require them. See Ordering Information on page A-4 for details. Pin
assignments for the Serial interface are listed in Appendix A, Specifications.
CAUTION: FCC rules require that interconnecting cables carrying high-speed
data be shielded appropriately to minimize radio frequency
interference.
