CHAPTER 1ABOUT THE WANSUITE 7205
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 7205 is a rack-mounted unit designed to occupy a single slot
position of the Verilink AS2000 rack or shelf. The AS2000 shelf has several
different variations: (1) a dual-line shelf that accomm odates tw o cards, (2) a
quint-line shelf that can accommodate up to five cards, and (3) a multi-line
shelf that can acco mmodat e up to 13 cards. A servic e aware E1/FE1
CSU/DSU, the WANsuite 7205 has three Network ports; 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; six s tatus L EDs, and t hree s ets o f tes t acc ess Ba ntam jacks . Capab le
of accommodating a wide range of network configurations, the WANsuite
7205 effectively combines voice, data, and network traffic over a single
transmission facility and works with non-proprietary network management
solutions.
The WANsuite 7205 boasts a built-in mini-dacs. This f eature enab les the un it
to switch or “groom” individual DS0s. You can groom any DS0 from any
interface into any time slot.This feature makes the WANsuite 7205 ideal for
applications that switch DS0s from one E1 onto two separate fractional E1
lines.
The WANsuite 7205 also monitors and measures utilization. W hether
running packet or TDM data, the WANsuite 7205 can measure the percent of
utilization on each network or serial interface. High and low-level alarms
notify network managers in advance that bandwidth may need to be
reallocated.
About the WANsuite 7205 1-1
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 p acket
routing 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-client architecture to assign IP addresses to PCs and
workstations on the LAN. The WANsuite 7205’s 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 feature of the WANsuite 7205 provides a company with a layer
of security by eliminating outside access to internal IP addresses from the
Internet.
Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using
the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the
WANsuite 7205 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you to
bridge sep arate LAN s across a WAN so th ey operat e as a single LAN .
The WANsuite 7205 gives service providers and enterprise customers the
capability to m onitor end -to-end net work perfo rmance (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
frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor
network trends to aid in future capacity planning.
1-2 WANsuite 7205
The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology allows network managers to
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management
platform allows the end user to see network activity (performance) and
problems (diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line, or
physical circu it.
Verilink’s FrameStart™ technology is standard with WANsuite 7205 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 E1 circu it
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.
All of WANsuite 7205’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 7205’s
functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software
system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.

Features of the WANsuite 7205
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 server interface, Verilink's new architecture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or
higher. If you use other Internet browsers to access the Web server
interface, screen elements will not display as described in this manual.
Mini-Dacs
The WANsuite 7205’s built-in mini-dacs lets the unit switch or groom any
DS0 from the primary Network 1 port to any of its interfaces. The mini-dacs
offers complete grooming independent of DS0 or time slot.
About the WANsuite 7205 1-3
Percent Utilization Reports
The WANsuite 7205 employs two methods for reporting percent utilization of
bandwidth. Both methods are required to accurately report utilization on voice
and data services.
The first of these methods is the DS0 utilization monitor, which reports
utilization of voice bandwidth as it is received from the Network ports.
Through the DS0 utilization monitor screens, you can configure idle DS0
patterns and set high and low utilization alarms.
The other method for reporting percent utilization is High-Level Data Link
Control (HDLC) monitoring, which reports utilization on synchronous data
services transmitted via the three Network or two Serial interfaces. HDLC
monitor screens also let you configure high and low utilization alarms.
The unit will report utilization alarms if DS0 or HDLC utilization stays high
for any given 15-minute period or at the end of any 24-hour period during
which utilization drops below the user-specified threshold. The WANsuite
7205 saves utilization statistics in 15-minute increments for 24 hours, and
each 24-hour period is summarized for up to 30 days.
Test Access Jacks
The three sets of Bantam jacks on the WANsuite 7205 provide local test
access for the following: Network In, Network Out, Network Monitor,
Equipment In, Equipment Out, and Equipment Monitor. This gives
technicians quick and easy access to Layer 1 diagnostics.
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. Once an IP address has been established for a
properly connected remote unit, all configuration parameters may be
downloaded from the central site; no additional interaction is required at the
remote site to establish connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame
relay or leased-line services. Verilink’s WANsuite 7205 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.
Embedded Web Server
1-4 WANsuite 7205
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 Management
As an option for the WANsuite 7205, 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-co mpliant
database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility, a real-time
diagnostics toolset, and extensive reporting and trending application support.
This 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 7205. Please contact Verilink
for availability and pricing information.
