Available models

The affordable 2-port midrange T1 or 4-port E1 midrange standalone models are ideal for branch offices and are highly scalable to meet your current and future needs. They’re also perfect for customer premise equipment. If you prefer, these models can also be wallmounted or rackmounted (call Tech Support for details). Spare power supplies are also available.

4- and 8-port enterprise rackmount E1 models feature fault tolerance and are NEBS Level 3 certified, which means they operate reliably in tough environmental conditions, don’t adversely affect co-located equipment, and don’t harm the environment or personnel. NEBS certification is the main difference between the midrange and enterprise routers.

The enterprise models are a good choice for corporate headquarters and service provider POPs.

All models include two 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN connection, one DB9 auxiliary port, two ports for T1 connection or four or eight RJ-48C ports for E1 connection.

Enhanced services

The T1 and E1 Routers span a wide range of applications. Enhanced services include backup and recovery, performance management, security, Ethernet extension, video and multimedia, IP telephony, and wireless.

In backup and recovery applications, the router gives you component, router, link, path, network, service provider, and backup redundancy.

Ethernet extension includes corporate LAN extension, point-of-sale (POS) and batch processing, e-mail and shared file services, and storage and backup.

Video and multimedia applications the router supports include remote surveillance, videoconferencing, and distance learning. The router uses sub-rate to full DS3 technology,

as well as MLPP and MLFR, QoS, and Layer 2 and Layer 3 transport. These features enable the router to provide high-quality video and multimedia service and lower total operation cost.

IP telephony applications that the router supports are Voice over IP (VoIP) and IP PBX. The router uses MLPPP and MLFR, QoS, DSX drop & insert, and VLAN tagging and forwarding to give you higher-quality voice services, more efficient bandwidth use, better infrastructure, improved interoperability, and simplified management.

The routers are also compatible with wireless applications. Typical wireless applications include wireless LANs and corporate virtual private networks (VPNs). Features

include MLPPP & MLFR, QoS, MHU, and VLAN tagging and forwarding. Benefits offered are advanced billing and mediation services, more efficient bandwidth use, better infrastructure use, improved interoperability, and simplified management.

Connects directly to the interface

A built-in CSU/DSU enables you to connect the router directly to the T1 or E1 interface.

Why Buy From Black Box? Exceptional Value. Exceptional Tech Support. Period.

Recognize any of these situations?

•You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support.

•The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.

•You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you.

•It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.

At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the

best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application.

Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
