ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL

2.2 Shared Router Features

All Router models share the following features:

•Included or optional internal 28.8K modems (V.34)

•IP and IPX routing, separately or simultaneously

•PPP, IPCP, IPXCP, PAP, and CHAP protocols

•Remote client access (supports a maximum of 100 clients):

-time filter

-connect quota

-idle timeout

-security callback

•Extensive IP and IPX packet filtering on all interfaces

•Simple configuration for all supported interfaces: Ethernet, modem, and synchronous interfaces

•Superior handling of IP RIP updates

•Extensive dial-up monitoring capabilities

•Automatic recognition of network topology and services

•Support for primary and secondary phone numbers (used for each modem interface)

2.2.1EASY TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE

Routers are shipped ready for installation and configuration. Installation is described in Chapters 3, 4, and 5. You configure the Router with a dialogue that prompts you to enter the desired LAN, WAN and client parameters. To configure the Router, you can use either a PC with a terminal emulator like Windows Terminal or a serial terminal connected to the Router’s console port, or use a host computer with telnet on the local Ethernet (TCP/IP), or use a host PC with RouterVu (included with the Router) on the local Ethernet (IPX).

2.2.2REDUCES OPERATING COSTS

The Router supports idle timeouts and time quotas to reduce operating costs. Finally, the Router can restrict a client’s access to the network, using the concept of a configurable client access shift. A client account can be restricted to client access during shift hours (IN), after hours (OUT), or 24 hours of the day.

2.2.3DIAL SUPPRESSION

Router link optimization (RLO) recognizes and minimizes unnecessary traffic. RLO has IPX and SPX filters to prevent dialing for and forwarding of, network traffic that doesn’t originate from end-users. Although it is enabled by default, RLO can be manually enabled and disabled. See Appendix B, Line use.

Standard IP and IPX filters can also be used to suppress unnecessary dialing activities.
