Applications
Dial-In Remote Access. The CommPlete 4000 makes
it easy to provide remote access to your small or midsize LAN for
V.90/56K and BRI ISDN remote users. With the potential to support
up to 32 concurrent sessions, this solution can support dial-in
telecommuters and road warriors as well as dial-out LAN users.
Dial-out
Data/Fax Services. LAN users on IP or IPX LANs have
pooled dial-out access for desktop data or fax communications. This
eliminates the cost and hassle of installing and maintaining modems
and phone lines for every desktop.
LAN-to-LAN
Routing.
RASExpress supports LAN-to-LAN routing using ML-PPP to aggregate
ISDN or analog channels for up to 320K data transfers.
Internet
Service Providers. If you are a growing Internet
service provider or have remote points-of-presence (POPs), this
solution can cost-effectively provide ISDN or 56K analog dial-up
access.
System Architecture
Flexible. The CommPlete
4000's flexible design lets you support from eight to 32 dial-in/dial-out
sessions over analog and/or BRI ISDN WAN connections. With four
industry-standard PCI slots, you can use any combination of modem,
serial and BRI ISDN server cards to suit your application.
High-Speed.
To support the fastest speeds possible today, the CommPlete 4000
with a hybrid card provides digital V.90/56K server support for
dial-in users. One BRI ISDN connection will support 64K or 128K
bi-directional speeds. Multiple analog connections can provide up
to 100K downloads when aggregated.
Affordable.
The CommPlete 4000 provides cost-effective ISDN and V.90/56K connectivity
without costly PRI ISDN or T1 services. The CommPlete 4000 with
a V.92/56K modem card is ideal for areas that do not have ISDN.
For businesses looking to use modems they already own, the CommPlete
serial card model preserves previous hardware investments.
Scalable.
The CommPlete 4000 is designed for scalability. When more ports
are needed, simply install a MultiModemISI or Intelligent Serial
Interface server card. RASExpress software automatically recognizes
the card and adds it to the server configuration. After you assign
IP addresses to the new ports, the new card can start handling dial-in
and dial-out calls.
No
Hidden Costs. There are no additional server or
client licenses to buy¡Xeven if you add more ports later. All models
include all of the memory required to run a fully loaded system.
All remote access server software upgrades for RASExpress are free.
Comprehensive
Management. The CommPlete 4000 running RASExpress
remote access software provides effortless management and extensive
reporting using a web browser, a Windows-based GUI, telnet or SNMP.
The management tools provide features for experienced and inexperienced
network administrators to effectively manage remote access.
Solution Options
The fully tested and supported CommPlete 4000 solutions let you
select analog and/or BRI ISDN WAN services to support V.90/56K and
BRI ISDN dial-in/dial-out users. Each model includes everything
you'll need to support up to eight concurrent dial-in/dial-out sessions.
System Components
Server Chassis. The
CommPlete 4000 server includes an industry-standard single board
computer with four additional PCI slots, an integrated 10/100 Ethernet
NIC, a high performance processor, memory and preinstalled RASExpress
remote access software. A 3.5" floppy drive, hard drive and
universal power supply are also included.
Modem
and Hybrid Server Cards. These multiport modem and
hybrid cards put V.92/56K modems or hybrid ISDN and V.90/56K modems
on a card for remote access servers like the CommPlete 4000. These
industry-standard, PCI-bus cards are maximized to work with today's
servers, network operating systems and adapter card technologies.
Use the MultiModemISI or Intelligent Serial Interface cards (see
below) to add more ports to the CommPlete.
In addition
to on-board built-in V.90/56K and/or BRI ISDN modems, these cards
feature:
Class 1 & Class 2 faxing at 14.4.K (V.34/33.6K fax on modem
models)
Sustained
data rates to 230K per port
The
hybrid server cards also let you provide V.90/56K digital server
support with BRI ISDN WAN services and optionally support laptop
users with GSM cellular service.
Serial
Server Cards. The Intelligent Serial Interface multiport
serial cards feature built-in speed and data handling efficiencies
that keep pace with today's high-speed modems. These cards sustain
data rates to 460.8K per port and include the serial cable, as well.
RASExpress Remote Access Software
Dial-In/Dial-Out Simplicity. The preconfigured RASExpress
remote access server software works with the CommPlete 4000 to provide
easy dial-up remote access for up to 32 users. It supports PPP and
SLIP clients and IP and IPX routing. LAN users on IP and IPX networks
can share the CommPlete 4000 ports for data and fax applications
using RASExpress.
ML-PPP
Maximizes Connection Speeds. For dial-in users running
demanding applications requiring more bandwidth, RASExpress supports
up to 100K bps (analog) and 128K (ISDN) sessions. RASExpress aggregates
multiple connections into one high-speed connection when a user
connects to the server with two analog modems and two phone lines
or two ISDN B-channels and one ISDN modem.
PPTP
Tunneling Support for VPNs. RASExpress lets you
fully support tunneling on a Microsoft virtual private network (VPN),
which means ISPs can offer their corporate users the security they
may require.
Management
Made Easy. RASExpress gives you the flexibility
to monitor, control, and gather statistics using your preferred
management approach with support for embedded Web, telnet, ftp servers
and SNMP agent.
SNTP
Support. RASExpress also has a built-in Simple Network
Time Protocol (SNTP) client which enables RASExpress to synchronize
its clocking with a remote time/clock server on the Internet. This
feature is useful for accounting purposes.
Comprehensive
Security. RASExpress has a built-in security database
for authentication and authorization of thousands of user profiles
using PAP and CHAP. It also has a built-in RADIUS client for authentication
where installations are using a RADIUS server. For installations
not currently using RADIUS security, a bundled RADIUS server application
for installation on a Windows NT server provides added security.
