Appendix C Voice Configuration Reference Information

Voice Port Operation

Users of equipment attached to a SmartSwitch 1800 Voice port can dial a long form number, or use any of the numbers defined in the SmartSwitch’s speed dial map table. Once the speed dial table has been configured, you should make the table available to the voice and fax users. You can also configure the SmartSwitch to automatically dial a speed dial number.

Both the long and short numbers access a configured specific destination. When a user-entered speed dial or long-form number is used, the call can access any desti- nation (regardless of compatibility).

Also see the Store and Forward Dialing, Variable Length Dialing, and Wild Card Character examples below for more information about how users of voice and fax equipment can initiate calls.

Store and Forward Dialing

The SmartSwitch 1800 supports store and forward dialing of speed dial numbers and extended dial digits. The extended dial digits can be defined in the map table and asso- ciated with a speed dial number, or entered by the user of attached equipment. Store and forward dialing is enabled by setting the Extended Dial Digits parameter in Voice System-Level Configuration (page 13-3) to a non-zero value. Individual voice/fax ports (page 13-8) must be configured to identify how and what dial digits are for- warded. The following examples show system, port, and map table configuration entries that store and forward extended digits from user input and from map table entries.

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.
