Digital technology provides reliable remote
network connections
The Pipeline 50 uses an ISDN BRI line to make
resilient remote connections to the corporate LAN
or the Internet. Simultaneous connections to different
locations can be made using a single digital line.
• Standard U interface (National ISDN 1 compliant;
S/T model also available)
• Certified for operation in more than 40
countries worldwide
Centralized management capabilities simplify
maintenance of remote sites
Remote management capabilities reduce the cost of
installation and ongoing support by enabling network
managers to monitor and troubleshoot remote user
problems directly from the central site. Network
managers can continuously “fine tune” the network
at any time, either locally or remotely.
• SNMP MIB II support
• NavisAccess
™
software for extensive and complete
control of all devices, components and services
• Telnet remote management
• Ascend remote management protocol
• Syslog
• WAN loopback
• Flash memory for easy software upgrades
Concurrent routing and bridging ensures efficient
connectivity to all LANs and the Internet
Concurrent routing and bridging eliminates the need
for two separate devices by providing one configurable
solution for accessing any LAN and the Internet.
• IP, IPX and AppleTalk routing
• BCP standard multiprotocol bridging
• PPP, Multilink PPP, Multilink Protocol Plus
™
(MP+)
and Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP)
SmoothConnect ensures easy and
cost-effective connectivity
Ascend SmoothConnect
™
provides all the features
and functionality that make it easy and cost-effective
to connect to a corporate headquarters or the Internet.
It allows even novice users to configure and setup
their Pipeline for access, removing the barriers that
used to make remote connectivity cumbersome. In
addition, SmoothConnect reduces costs by making
efficient use of protocols and bandwidth. This
functionality includes the following ease-of-use
and cost savings features:
• The Java-based Pipeline Configurator is a state-of-
the-art configuration utility for graphical point-and-
click Pipeline setup and configuration
• AutoSwitch and AutoSPID detection automatically
detects the ISDN switch type and SPID numbers
• Ascend’s patented Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation
™
saves money by increasing/decreasing bandwidth as
needed for the duration of your connection
• Integrated idle timer allows Pipeline users to remain
connected without paying for telecommunications
resources when they aren’t being used
• Network Address Translation (NAT) eliminates the
need to pay for a dedicated TCP/IP address by allowing
the Pipeline to accept a dynamically assigned address
from a central-site pool of addresses
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
spoofing allows network managers to configure and
dynamically assign IP addresses across multiple
clients from the Pipeline
• Data compression that boosts throughput up to
512 Kbps to handle bandwidth-intensive files
Advanced Remote Networking/VPN Solution for Small and Remote Offices
Virtual Private Network
Diverse remote employees connected
with a central site via encrypted VPNs.
