BOUT THE
Verilink’s WANsuite 6450 is a feature-rich, intelligent integrated access device
(IAD) that manages voice and data applications in an ATM network. The
WANsuite 6450 terminates a standards-based Symmetric High-Bit Rate
Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) that originates from a Digital Subscriber
Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) and provides interfaces for the end user’s
communications equipment.
WAN
SUITE
6450
The WANsuite 6450 is ServiceAware™ IAD with the following hardware: an
SHDSL network interface; a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) port configurable as T1
or E1; a Serial port software-configurable for V.35, V.36, X.21, RS-232, RS449, or EIA-530; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port; an asynchronous Supervisory
port; five tri-color status LEDs; and front panel reset and factory
configuration buttons.
The Circuit Emulation Service (CES) support provides for the encapsulation
of TDM traffic from end-user equipment into ATM cells for transport across
the WAN to the DSLAM and on to the ATM network. This allows for the
continued use of existing TDM equipment at the premise while the ATM
network continues to grow and move further out to the edge. This unit
supports CES over the CBR port and the Serial port.
A router or bridge using PPP/HDLC protocols connects to the WANsuite
6450’s Serial port. The unit encapsulates the PPP data into ATM cells using
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 1483. Any router/bridge
supporting PPP over ATM (PPPoA) R FC 1483 encapsulation can be used at
the other end of this ATM connection.
The IP Gateway feature enables IP packet 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 Fir st − OSPF), Dynamic Host Communications Protocol − DHCP, and
Network Address Translation − NAT.
RIP 1 and RIP 2 allow routers to exchange routing information. The
WANsuite 6450 then uses this information exchange to build routing tables
About the WANsuite 6450 1-1
for IP Packet routes. After building the routing tables, the unit periodically
broadcasts the contents to neighboring routers so your network can choose the
most efficien t routes a vailable .
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, the WANsuite 6450 works with other routers in your
telecommunications fabric to dynamically change routes “on the fly” to make
use of the most effici ent and cost-effecti ve transit across y our netw ork.
Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using the
IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the WANsuite
6450 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you to bridge
separate LANs across a WAN so they operate as a single LAN.
Because IP Gateway enables the WANsuite 6450 to route IP traffic either
statically or dynamically or to bridge IP traffic across your LAN/WAN
architecture, your need for costly routers is substantially reduced. This onestop solution 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 s et 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 a ccess to in ternal IP Addres ses from t he Int ernet.
The WANsuite 6450 gives service providers and enterprise customers the
capability to monitor end-to-end network performance (with support of up to
16 virtual channels); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or
ATM network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor network
trends to aid in future capacity planning.
All of the WANsuite 6450’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the unit’s embedded Web server interface (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
the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced
monitoring and control capability that gives network administrators the ability
to plan future capacity requirements.
The unit’s built-in Service Aware 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.

Features of the WANsuite 6450
Performance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as singlefunction devices such as CSU/DSUs, but have not been optimized to address
higher-level traffic issues such as service levels and integration. Verilink's
architectur e and Web-based us er interfac e work together to address all acce ss
issues such as services and applications, rather than as circuits and protocols,
for except ional WAN managemen t performan ce.
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, the WANsuite 6450 can be
managed by SNMP. By downloading all configuration parameters from the
central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish connectivity.
The unit 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 WA N Access Architecture
Verilink's next-generation WAN access 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 and a user table for monitoring and controlling
traffic.
Overview and Advantages
Verilink’s WANsuite 6450 is an innovative, highly intelligent, software-based

ERVER INTERFACE
The WANsuite 6450 has an innovative, embedded Web-based user interface
(WANsight) for remote configuration and real-time reporting via Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. Access to the Web server interface and how
the interface is used to configure the WANsuite 6450 unit are described in
detail below.
NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or
higher because if you use other Internet browsers to access the Web
server interface , some screen elemen ts will not disp lay as describe d in
this manual.
NOTICE: The material presented in this chapter follows the order listed in the
navigation bar on t he left side of the Web Server interface screen.
However, because the parameters you specify in the Service Table
attach proto cols to inter faces , you m ust c onfig ure t he Serv ice Table
first. (See Services as described on page 3-25.) You will not be able to
allocate channels (see Channel Table Details Screen as described on
page 3-37) un til the Service Table has been configured.
Configuration through the VT100 interface is covered in Chapter 4.
Web Server Interface 3-1
Web Server Access
You can access the Web Server interface by connecting to its IP address. This
connection can be directly through the 10/100 Ethernet port, in-band via PPP
over any port, or in-band via encapsulated IP traffic on the ATM WAN
circuit.
NOTICE: Any changes to the unit’s configuration MUST be followed by a
“Submit” if there is a “Submit” button on the menu. If you
change the Service Table, you must perform a “Save and
Restart.”
To access the Web Server interface, type th e unit’s IP address in the
browser’s Address (or Location) field and press the “Enter” key.
Layout of Interface Screens
When you first access the Web Server interface, your browser will display a
screen that is divided into three frames. The upper frame forms a border
across the top of the screen; it identifies the Verilink unit in service and
displays the hardware and software revision and serial numbers under which
the unit is operating. The far right corner of the upper frame displays whether
or not a “Save an d Restar t” is nece ssary when param eters are change d on the
currently displayed screen.
Unit Screen
The area beneath the upper frame is divided into two side-by-side frames. The
frame on the left side of t his area d epicts a hierarch ical “tree” structure used
to navigate through the various interface screens. Each “branch” on the tree
guides you to more specific upper-level information about the unit and its
configuration. Note that the Interfaces, Applications, and Utilities branches do
not link to a page − these branches simply provide structure for navigation.
The frame on the right side of the screen will display the actual configuration
screen. The screen captures throughout this chapter show only the
configurat ion portio n of the screen, except in t he case of the Un it screen ,
which sh ows all t hree frames . The Un it scr een represe nts the to p of the
navigation tree.
The first screen displayed by the unit’s Web Server interface is the Unit
screen (Figure 3.1). This screen lets you view and set specific information
about the unit in service.
