1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Total Access 600R is a cost-effective T1/FT1 access router designed for small and medium businesses,
branch offices and campuses. The unit provides 1.54 Mbps for dedicated Internet access or remote office
connectivity. With its integrated CSU/DSU, the Total Access 600R provides wide area network access
over a standard T1 or fractional T1 circuit.
Multiple users can share network access over a single T1 connection. For simultaneous access to both a
corporate network and the public Internet, the unit offers the ability to configure multiple frame relay
PVCs. In addition, the unit includes NAT/NAPT and IP filtering which provides security from
unauthorized access to the user's network.
The Total Access 600R also provides a cost-effective campus connectivity solution. When used with
private dry copper, the unit delivers up to 1.54 Mbps to cross-campus network elements. This solution is
ideal for extending LAN segments to other buildings.
Other features include a DHCP server, TELNET support, SNMP support, ping utility, and software
upgrades via TFTP and XMODEM.
Until now, the Total Access 600R unit has been running firmware version A.03.XX. Recently, A.04.XX
has been released. The development of A.04.XX code is a significant step in the evolution of the Total
Access product line, as it allows all Total Access family members to share the same base code. This means
that features and fixes are more easily implemented and are propagated across the product line. The User
Interface Guide section of this manual represents the A.04 firmware. There are two possible upgrade paths:
(1) Upgrading from A.03 to A.04 directly (2) Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.9X (Transition Build) to A.04.
Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.9X (Transition Build) to A.04 will save the unit’s
configuration. Upgrading from A.03 to A.04 directly (or from A.04 to A.03 directly) will
erase the unit’s configuration. See DLP-015, A.03 to A.04 Firmware Upgrade, for more
details.
