identifies the subscriber to the console operator.

Routing Algorithm

allows creation of a "hunt group" of ports (see example on page 8-22), for the purpose of routing per a pre-selected algorithm:

0 = Round Robin – selects ports specified cyclicly in numerical order according to the list of Redirection Addresses. If the selected port is unreachable or con- gested, the Call Request will be sent to the next port. (If the port becomes available again, it will be included in its assigned position.)

1 = Alternate Route on Line Failure – selects the first port that is not in a failed state. If the selected port does not make a connection, the call will be cleared, even if other ports are available.

2 = Alternate Route on Line Busy – selects the first port that has LCNs available (is not busy). If the port has failed, the next available port will be selected.

3 = Least LCN with Throughput – selects the line with the minumum loading, cal- culated by weight and number of LCNs in use on that line. (Each line is assigned a weight proportional to its throughput within the routing path.)

If use of a routing algorithm is not desired, simply accept the default, and specify only one routing path.

Systematic Redirection

will redirect (if Y) all calls to the alternate subscribers specified by the Redirection Addresses. Consecutive attempts at call redirection will be made to each alternate sub- scriber in the list, until the call is completed.

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.
