WaiLan Agate 200 MSDSL Network Bridge

Wailan Agate 200 MSDSL Network Bridge Includes user guide PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AGATE 200 is an Ethernet bridge which utilizes Multi-rate Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (MSDSL) technology to achieve a symmetrical transmission rate up to 2.3 Mbps in both directions over a single copper telephone pair out to 5.5 miles/8.8 Km reach. The speed is dependent on the line conditions and signal quality. Multi-rate SDSL allows users to select a fractional transmission rate to optimize the length and line condition of the telephone pair used for a better Bit Error Rate (BER). The AGATE 200 was designed for remote LAN interconnection and high-speed Internet access when used with WaiLAN’s Access Switch Systems. This bridge has a 10Base-T Ethernet port and MSDSL line interface which can achieve high transmission quality comparable to fiber optic BER without repeaters, up to 5.5 miles/8.8 Km. Featuring a compact design for easy installation and combining its high-speed symmetrical rate and longer local loop reach, AGATE 200 is an ideal solution for campus networks, remote LAN interconnection and high-speed Internet access for businesses and consumers. Features · Support symmetrical 2.3 Mbps rate up to 2.6 miles (4.2 Km) for 24 gauge wire· Support for fractional transmission rates, which allows a reach up to 5.5 miles (8.8 Km), depending on line condition· MSDSL line coding for multi-rate selection over a single copper telephone pair· Concurrent IP routing (RIP-1, RIP-2) and Learning bridge functions· Support Network Address Translation (NAT) for flexible, secure IP access· Broadcast and multicast packet filtering· Support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) with DNS and gateway setting· Support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)· Support for customer side Web, FTP, and E-mail Servers· User-definable limits for inbound and outbound traffic (bandwidth control)· Standard 10Base-T Ethernet port for network connections· System management via console VT-100 emulation, telnet and SNMP· Users can telnet or ping to the remote AGATE device. (To help facilitate access via telnet, each device is shipped with a pre-assigned IP address)· Users can configure an AGATE either as a CO (Central Office) or CP (Customer Premise) device AGATE 200 User’s Guide 312-090001 1998 WaiLAN Communications, Inc. Page 2· One AGATE can detect the baud rate used by the other remote AGATE and use the lower rate setting of the two devices· Flash memory for software upgrade via serial console port or Ethernet port with tftp· Stand-alone, compact design with rack-mount kit option· Compatible with the WaiLAN DeltaFire 500 xDSL Access Switch Server equipped with a DFLC200 line card· Use industry standard CAP (Carrierless Amplitude & Phase Modulation) line coding for superior performance and low power consumption· Support for the following protocols: ARP, DHCP, ICMP, IP, NAT, RIP-1, RIP-2, SNMP, TCP, UDP, telnet, TFTP.
