Basic Leased Line Configuration

The router establishes PPP (Point to Point Protocol) WAN connections to other PPP Leased Line routers or to other vendors PPP leased line routers via direct leased line connections. Either 1 or 2 links may be used to connect to other PPP routers.

Configuration: The default configuration for routers shipped within North American with at least one non-ISDN interface module, is to have frame relay enabled on that interface. To run PPP leased line, frame relay must be disabled. Selecting the Frame Relay option will toggle the setting from enabled to disabled.

Quick Start PPP Leased Line Connections

 

A Quick Start minimal configuration may be used to initially establish a connection to

 

another vendors PPP router. Once the connection is established and is working properly,

 

the router should be configured with a remote site profile entry for that vendors router.

 

Before the router can establish a link connection to another PPP router, the link speed

 

information must be defined. Refer to the following diagram that shows two routers and

 

another vendors unit connected together with direct leased line connections.

LR5200A-R2, LR5100A-T specifications

The Black Box LR5100A-T and LR5200A-R2 are advanced network media converters designed to facilitate seamless data transmission across various media types. These devices are particularly valuable for organizations seeking high-performance solutions for extending network communications beyond traditional limits.

The LR5100A-T is an Ethernet media converter that operates over twisted pair cabling, efficiently converting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet signals into fiber optic signals. This capability allows businesses to harness the long-distance advantages of fiber optics while maintaining compatibility with existing Ethernet infrastructure. With a broad range of supported distances, users can effectively communicate over distances up to 100 kilometers, depending on the type of fiber optic cable used and the transmission rate.

In contrast, the LR5200A-R2 emphasizes compatibility with a wider range of fiber types and supports both multimode and single-mode fiber connections. It also provides auto-negotiation capabilities, which enable it to automatically detect and configure to the optimal speed of connected devices, streamlining setup and enhancing user experience.

One of the key features of both the LR5100A-T and LR5200A-R2 is their rugged design, making them suitable for deployment in harsh environments. They are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and are resistant to vibration, ensuring reliability in challenging settings. Additionally, both models adhere to industry standards, ensuring interoperability with a diverse array of networking equipment.

Notably, these converters come equipped with LED indicators that allow for real-time monitoring of device status, simplifying network management and troubleshooting. This feature ensures that technicians are promptly alerted to any connectivity issues, significantly reducing downtime.

Powering options for both models include standard AC power supplies or Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for flexible deployment scenarios without the need for additional power outlets. This flexibility can be a crucial factor in environments where power availability may be limited.

With their blend of performance, durability, and advanced features, the Black Box LR5100A-T and LR5200A-R2 media converters represent a solid choice for organizations looking to future-proof their network infrastructure while ensuring high levels of connectivity and reliability. Whether extending existing networks or implementing new solutions, these devices provide the necessary tools for effective communication in today’s digital world.
