If you are replacing called or calling address with original user data, all the replacing characters must be digits. Also, the user data must be specified in the template ID.

T = Text (valid for replacement of user data only). Type T followed (with no spaces) by the text that will replace the user data.

Replacing Protocol ID

Press [E] at the Translation Template Maintenance Menu. When prompted, enter a string of up to four hex bytes. If fewer than four bytes are entered, the remaining field is filled with zeroes.

Replacing Facilities

Press [F] at the Translation Template Maintenance Menu. When prompted, enter a string of up to 109 hex bytes.

Translation Examples

Example 1 – Replacing the first four digits of the called address with digits from the user data field:

Assume the Template ID is 3110*U* and the called address field in the template is U1234X5 . A packet with called address 31101234567890 and user data 5678 is received. The packet matches Template ID 3110*U*; therefore, a translation occurs as follows:

◆U1234 of U1234X5 indicates that positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the user data of the received packet (5678) will replace the first four digits of the called address (3110).

◆X5 of U1234X5 takes the fifth position of the template (*) and searches for a match in the part of the original called address not yet translated (1234567890). (The match is found in the entire string 1234567890.)

The translated called address is 56781234567890.

Example 2 – Appending the subaddress from the user data to the called address:

Assume the Template ID is 3110*U?? and the called address field in the template is X12345U12 . A packet with called address 311012345678 and user data 99 is received. The packet matches Template ID 3110*U??; therefore, a translation occurs as follows:

◆User data 99 from the packet is appended to the called address

311012345678.

The translated called address is 31101234567899.

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.
