Redirect on Busy

will redirect calls (if Y) according to the Redirection Addresses if the primary sub- scriber device is busy.

Redirect on Out of Order

will redirects calls (if Y) according to the Redirection Addresses if the primary sub- scriber device is out of order.

Connection Priority

prioritizes intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher the priority. (This pri- ority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)

Priorities are configured on all logical interfaces that use a physical frame relay port. The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine the order in which it will process protocols.

When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types of traffic being routed on other connections in the node.

1st, 2nd,etc. Path Configured

includes or excludes the associated port as a routing path to the subscriber device. At least one path must be specified.

Port

identifies the port(s) that make up the routing path(s).

Redirection Address 0,1,etc.

are up to five subscribers that will be called according to the specified redirection option.

Configuring Abbreviated Addresses

The Abbreviated Address operation allows you to assign a short name or mnemonic to be used in place of the subscriber ID when making X.25 calls from a terminal con- nected to a SmartSwitch 1800 async PAD port.

To display a list of existing abbreviated addresses and their associated subscriber IDs, press [C] at the Connections and Routing Paths Configuration Menu (or [A], [D], [C] from the Main Menu).

To add or change an abbreviated address, press [D] at the Connections and Routing Paths Configuration Menu. When prompted, enter the address you want to use (up to 10 alphanumeric characters).

The address will be displayed; if it is an existing address, the associated subscriber ID will also be displayed, along with the message Subscriber ID defined (or Subscriber ID undefined if the ID is not in the database).

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.
