Multiprotocol routing and bridging ensures
network interoperability
Robust support for standard protocols ensures efficient
connectivity and multivendor interoperability.
• Routes TCP/IP, IPX or AppleTalk
• Bridges all protocols (BCP standard bridging)
• PPP, Frame Relay (RFC 1490), Multilink Protocol (MP)
and Multilink Protocol Plus
™
(MP+)
• Transmit and receive packet filtering
Supports dial-up and dedicated WAN services
for flexible remote networking
Two WAN ports give you the flexibility to connect to a
broad range of WAN services. Each Pipeline 130 model
comes with a different combination of WAN interfaces.
• Supports two simultaneous connections to
different locations
• ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI); certified for use
in over 20 countries worldwide
• T1 and fractional T1; can be programmed to operate
at any multiple of 56 or 64 Kbps
• Leased DDS 56 4-wire connection
• Switched 56 4-wire connection
• Integrated NT1 and CSU/DSU; eliminates
the additional cost of external units
• Standards-based Frame Relay
• Remote offices and Internet users can connect to
inexpensive Frame Relay services at speeds ranging
from 56 Kbps to 1.544 Mbps
• RFC 1490 Frame Relay encapsulation
• Annex D Link Management
• V.35 Interface model available
Standards-based Frame Relay support for
high-speed access
Remote offices and Internet users can connect to
inexpensive Frame Relay services at speeds ranging
from 56 Kbps to 1.544 Mbps.
• RFC 1490 Frame Relay encapsulation
• Annex D Link Management
• Backup for Frame Relay and dedicated leased lines
via ISDN BRI or Switched 56 connections
SmoothConnect ensures easy and
cost-effective connectivity
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 new
functionality includes the following ease-of-use and
cost savings features:
• The Java-based Pipeline Configurator (JBPC) is a state-
of-the-art configuration utility for graphical point-
and-click Pipeline setup and configuration
• Touch tone configuration of ISDN B-channel
telephone numbers using an analog telephone
• 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
