Configuring Subscriber IDs

This operation configures the called and calling addresses that will be used in call setup. To complete the connection, the software must recognize where the call is coming from (calling address) and where it is going (called address).

To display a list of current Subscriber IDs (addresses), press[A] at the Connections and Routing Paths Menu (or [A], [D], [A] from the Main Menu).

To add or change a Subscriber ID, press [B] at the Connections and Routing Paths Menu. When prompted, enter a Subscriber ID of up to 15 digits. (ID conventions are described on page 8-22.)

If configuring an ID that will be a Source Subscriber on an IP (over X.25) Interface (described in Chapter 14), accept the default values for all param- eters after Subscriber Name , and do not configure any Routing Path. If con- figuring an ID that will be a Destination Subscriber on an IP (over X.25)

Interface, accept the default values for all parameters after Subscriber Name, except 1st Routing Path, which must be configured as the node and physical X.25 port that will be used as the interface.

Pressing [G] will display routing paths, which link the subscriber with one or more ports. Pressing [H] will display the addresses used for call redirection. (These addresses are valid only if Y is specified for one or more of items C, D, and E on the first screen.) Parameters for all three screens are described following Table 8-3.

1800 specifications

Cabletron Systems, a leading player in network management and telecommunications solutions during the late 20th century, introduced several innovative products that played a crucial role in shaping enterprise networking. Among these were the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and the FRX1800, which delivered advanced features aimed at enhancing network performance, security, and scalability.

The Cabletron FRX6000 was designed as a robust multi-layer switch, ideal for large-scale enterprise environments. It supported extensive routing capabilities, allowing organizations to manage traffic efficiently even under heavy loads. The FRX6000 boasted high throughput rates and low latency, making it suitable for demanding applications. With support for various network protocols, including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, its adaptability made it a versatile choice for diverse networking needs. Moreover, security features like VLAN support and Access Control Lists (ACLs) provided enhanced protection against potential threats.

Moving to the FRX4000, this model offered a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. The FRX4000 maintained many of the essential features of its larger counterpart while catering to medium-sized enterprises. It provided Layer 3 routing and could handle multiple simultaneous connections, ensuring seamless communication across departments. The modular design allowed for easy upgrades, enabling businesses to expand their network infrastructure without significant overhauls. This made the FRX4000 an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their network investments.

Lastly, the FRX1800, designed for small to medium businesses, focused on simplicity and ease of use while still incorporating powerful network management capabilities. Its user-friendly interface made it accessible for organizations lacking extensive IT resources. The FRX1800 provided essential functionalities such as Integrated Layer 2 switching and routing, network monitoring, and basic security features, ensuring that even smaller companies could maintain efficient, reliable networking without overwhelming complexity.

All three models utilized advanced technologies, including a high bandwidth backbone and state-of-the-art switching architecture, to enable fast and reliable data transfer. They also supported Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, allowing businesses to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance across the network.

In summary, the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and FRX1800 were pivotal in enhancing network capabilities, providing organizations with scalable, secure, and high-performance options tailored to their specific needs.
