When it comes to connecting your computers to the corporate
network or the Internet, two rules apply: keep it simple and keep it
inexpensive. The Pipeline 25 ISDN, a member of Ascend's Pipeline Family of
Remote LAN and Internet Access Systems, helps network managers and individuals
on both counts.
The Ascend Pipeline 25 ISDN connects computers in small offices and homes to
backbone networks or the Internet over inexpensive ISDN lines. The Pipeline 25
ISDN can also connect two analog devices over the same ISDN line.
Before the Pipeline 25, telecommuting and small/home offices required separate
lines for telephone, data and fax traffic. The Pipeline 25 provides access to
corporate network resources or the Internet while combining telecommunications
needs into one line, reducing costs and administrative workload.
In a single modem-sized box, the Pipeline 25 ISDN combines:
- Bandwidth on Demand
- ISDN Basic Rate (BRI) Terminal Adapter
- Bridging with Optional Routing
- LAN and WAN Network Management
- Optional Data Compression
- Dual Integrated Analog Interfaces
- Built-in ISDN NT1
- Security
Dial-Up connections are automatically established and removed as needed.
- Inverse Multiplexing Uses both ISDN B-Channels for 112/128Kbs Data Rate
- Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Varies Bandwidth
- Supports Two Simultaneous Connections to Different Locations
Analog interfaces allow consolidation of lines reducing costs and
administrative workload.
- Dual Interfaces Connect a Combination of Telephones, Modems and Fax Machines
- Sophisticated Call Routing Directs Calls to the Correct Analog Device
- Incoming and Outgoing Calls Preempt One B-Channel of a Two-Channel Inverse Multiplexed Call while Maintaining One B-Channel for Data Connections
- Both Analog Devices Can Be Used while Data is Idle
Fully integrated ISDN interface for plug-and-play operation. - ISDN BRI
- Standard S/T or U-Interface (National ISDN-1 Compliant) which Eliminates Need for External NT1 Device
The largest Internet service providers have standardized on Ascend products
for switched digital access. Pipeline 25 ISDN provides high-speed, switched digital access to the
Internet
over ISDN BRI.
Sophisticated protocol support ensures efficient connectivity to all LANs and
the Internet.
- Standard Multi-Protocol Bridging
- Optional IP or IPX Routing
- PPP, Multilink PPP and MPP (Ascend's Multichannel
Point-To-Point Protocol, a Superset of MP)
- Transmit and Receive Packet Filtering
Manage your remote access equipment and bandwidth as easily as you manage your
local LAN facilities.
- Ascend Remote Management
- Rigid Security Features
- Call Detail Reporting
- WAN Loopbacks
- Flash Memory for Software Downline Loading
Employ rigid security features that assure network access only to authorized
users.
- PAP, CHAP, Callback, Calling Number ID, Password and TACACS
- Token-Based Security Including Secure ID and Enigma
The Pipeline 25 ISDN aggregates all incoming lines to a telecommuter's house
into one ISDN BRI line. That line carries all telephone and fax traffic as if
each device had its own separate line. The Pipeline 25 connects the
telecommuter to corporate LANs at speeds up to 128Kbs (512Kbs with compression).
The Pipeline 25 ISDN aggregates all incoming lines to a small office or home
office. The Pipeline 25 connects to the Internet and to other offices using
ISDN. A modem attached to one analog interface uses the same ISDN line for
connecting to non-ISDN locations. The second analog interface is used for
telephone traffic, consolidating all telephone charges on one bill.
The Pipeline 25 ISDN connects to an Internet service provider's point-of-presence (POP) over ISDN. Inverse multiplexing technology ("Bonding") uses both ISDN B channels to create a 128Kbits connection to the Internet, facilitating fast file transfers and Web access. If an incoming or outgoing voice (or fax or modem) call needs one of the B channels, the Pipeline 25 automatically scales back the bandwidth from 128Kbs to 64Kbs, allowing use of the released B channel for the voice call.
By connecting a modem to one of the Pipeline 25's analog ports, you can access on-line services or locations that do not yet have ISDN access. The connection is made over the Pipeline 25's ISDN line but connects at normal modem speeds (up to 28.8Kbs) to another modem at the far end.
