Ascend Pipeline 25 ISDN
Part Number: ACD-P25-1SBRI


Complete Pipeline 25 System, with Ethernet (AUI or 10Base-T) Port, ISDN BRI S/T Interface (RJ-45C), Two Analog (RJ-11) Ports and Console Port (DB9). Includes 110VAC Adapter.


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

Dial-Up connections are automatically established and removed as needed.

Dual Integrated Analog Interfaces

Analog interfaces allow consolidation of lines reducing costs and administrative workload.

Integrated ISDN BRI

Fully integrated ISDN interface for plug-and-play operation.

Internet Access

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.

Access Routing and Bridging

Sophisticated protocol support ensures efficient connectivity to all LANs and the Internet.

LAN/WAN Management and Control

Manage your remote access equipment and bandwidth as easily as you manage your local LAN facilities.

Security

Employ rigid security features that assure network access only to authorized users.


Telecommuting Solution in One Box

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).



Small Office/Home Office Access

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.



Internet Access

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.
