●Voice Port 4 Configuration:

◆# of Leading Digits to Delete = 0.

◆Forward Delay = 4 (.25 sec intervals)

◆Forwarded Digit Type = DTMF.

◆Forwarded Output Digits = Ext.

◆Source of Extended Digits = USER.

The sequence of steps in placing a call are as follows:

1.The caller dials 59111.

2.PBX A connects to Node 1 Port 4, and the caller hears a dial tone.

3.The caller dials 2559333.

4.Node 1 translates speed dial number 25 to long digits 000215, connects to PBX B through Node 2 Port 5, and sends along the user-dialed extended digits 59333 after a 1-second delay.

5.PBX B connects with Node 3, and the caller hears a dial tone.

6.The caller dials 447777.

7.Node 3 translates speed dial number 44 to long digits 000414, connects to PBX C through Node 4 Port 4, and sends along the user-dialed extended digits 7777 after a 1-second delay.

8.PBX C connects the caller to phone 7777, which rings.

Variable-Length Dialing

The SmartSwitch 1800 supports variable length dialing using theparameter in Voice Port configuration (page 13-8). Variable-length dialing allows the user to place a call without entering the configured number of digits for the speed dial

number. Variable-length dialing can be disabled by setting theto zero. When this parameter is set to a value greater than zero, the timer is started when the SmartSwitch receives the first dial digit from the attached equipment and the digit is not the long-form calling Long Dial Prefix (also configured in the Voice Port record). If the timer decrements to zero with no new digit entries, the SmartSwitch will assume that dialing is complete, and will pad the digit entries with leading zeros to the length

of the configured(see page 13-3). For example, if the configured number of dial digits is four, and the user enters 33 and lets the dial timer expire, the 33 will be converted to 0033. This number will then be used to perform a look-up in the map table, rather than the SmartSwitch using the actual digits dialed by the user.

Note that regardless of the Dial Timer setting, the following conditions and configura- tions will disable variable-length dialing:

1.Long-call-format dialing is being used. The SmartSwitch 1800 assumes this format is being used if the first digit dialed is the character configured for Long

Call Prefix.

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.
