Source of Extended

# of Leading Digits to Delete

specifies the number of leading dial digits that will be deleted before a dial string is forwarded. This parameter is primarily used to delete leading digits that may be inserted by an attached PBX. For example, assume the user of attached equipment dials 1234 and the attached PBX inserts the number 9 as a prefix to the dial string. If # of Leading Digits to Delete is set to 1, the SmartSwitch 1800 will remove the 9 before forwarding the dialed digits 1234.

Forward Delay

specifies (only if Forwarded Output Digits is All or Ext) two delays:

the delay before extended digits are forwarded, and

the length of a pause that can be inserted in an extended dial string that is being forwarded. Each time a comma is encountered in an extended string, the Smart- Switch 1800 will pause for the length of time configured for Forward Delay before additional extended digits are forwarded.

See the Store and Forward Dialing examples on page C-1for more information about how this parameter is used.

Forwarded Digit Type

specifies (only if Forwarded Output Digits is All or Ext) how the dial digits will be for- warded.

See the Store and Forward Dialing examples on page C-1for more information about how this parameter is used.

Forwarded Output Digits

specifies which dial digits (if any) to forward (i.e., to output at the remote voice/fax card).

If None, dial digits are not forwarded to the destination device when a call is ini- tiated on this port.

If All, the speed-dial number and associated extended digits are forwarded to the destination device.

If Ext, only the extended digit string is forwarded. The source of extended digits

(i.e., from the map table or dialed by the user) is specified by

Digits.

See the Store and Forward Dialing examples on page C-1for more information about how this parameter is used.

Make/Break Ratio

specifies (if Forwarded Output Digits is All or Ext and Forwarded Digit Type is Pulse) the make/break ratio of each digit pulse that is forwarded. Make and break periods are the times contact is made for each digit and broken between digits.

For example, if the default ratio of 34/66 is configured, assume someone dials the number 3. To do this, s/he rotates the dial to 3, then releases the dial. Contact is then broken for 66 ms, made for 33 ms (number 2), broken for 66 ms, made for 33 ms (number 1), broken for 66 ms, then made continuously.

For reference, the 34/66 default ratio is compatible with telephony systems in the U.S. and several countries in Europe.

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.
