1. Introduction
The
ISDN
(Integrated Service Digital Network)
SOHO
(Small Office Home Office)
router
is a
network product used to connect LAN to the Internet or to the head office through the high-speed
ISDN interface.
The advanced
all-in-one
design can ease a your installation for connecting a your Ethernet card
directly to the built-in hub port. Apart from the flexible router capability, it also provides full ISDN
TA functions for both data and voice communication. This design supports two analog ports for the
normal telephony application, allowing you to connect the regular telephone, fax machine, and
answering machine to the analog port to make an outgoing call or receive an incoming call. One
data port allows you to configure the router and connects outside ISDN device with data protocol
like
V.110, V.120
. The SOHO router also features an optional
soft-fax
function to simulate the
G3/G4 fax operation with PC to save the fax investment.
The router provides a Windows based
easy configuration software
to help out with the entire
relative configuration. You can easily click the mouse to select the settings. The router also comes
with an easy-setup mechanism from
telephone keypad
, enabling some of the configuration being
made through the regular telephone while checking the setting on the
LCD
panel.
The router supports
BACP
(Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol)/
BOD
(Bandwidth On
Demand) function which allows you to utilize the 128k ISDN bandwidth with a demanded manner.
When using the
ML-PPP
(Multi-Link PPP) connection, the entire 128k ISDN bandwidth is used
for accessing the Internet. With the aid of BOD, the router automatically releases one B channel as
soon as the phone receiver is picked up to make a call. It also tells router to returns to two B
channels for 128k ML-PPP connection when the phone receiver hung up. Upon an incoming call,
the router releases one B channel automatically and return to 128k ML-PPP connection as soon as
one gets off the phone.
The
RIP
(Routing Information Protocol) and
DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) save
the network administrator a lot of effort on maintaining the entire relative network configuration.
E-mail sharing
capability allows a connected LAN user to have the e-mail address distinguished,
while using the same e-mail address in ISP. The router will automatically distinguish the
transmitting/receiving mail to the designated person.
The router complies with
ITU-T Q.921
, and
Q.931
for D channel protocol as well as provides
switching type selections for different countries. The router is equipped with
flash EPROM
for
future software upgrade through the data port.
