Intel Express Routers overview

Intel offers five models of the Intel Express Router, each one supporting all the features previously discussed. The difference among the first four models (9100 - 9300) is in the type of WAN connections they support. The Express Router 9400 is a high-performance ISDN Primary Rate Interface (EuroISDN) alternative. It provides hardware- based data compression for the fastest possible throughput.

Models 9100, 9200, 9201 and 9300 each provide one or more High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) WAN ports. These ports will support as many as 62 links to user-defined sites. This is a unique feature that provides an ideal solution for building wide area networks linking many locations with Frame Relay, X.25 or EuroISDN. Data compression is also supported for each link to improve throughput and reduce costs.

With an X.25 connection, each link can be defined as a Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) or a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC). Switched Virtual Circuits are established only when data is awaiting transmission; Permanent Virtual Circuits are always available.

The Intel Express Router 9200 is an excellent solution for environments requiring maximum reliability. The dial-up connection can be used as a back-up in case the primary link fails. It can also be used for separate Internet access, or for occasional connections to other sites that are not connected to a WAN on a permanent basis.

WAN links:

■One HDLC Serial Interface supporting Frame Relay, X.25, PPP, LAPB, Leased Line (TI/EI)

■One PC Card slot supporting the following analog modems (modem not included):

–Xircom CreditCard Modem 28.8

–Xircom CreditCard Modem 33.6
