SmartSwitch 1800 Voice Configuration

DTMF tones are passed transparently to the remote device. Enter 1 to enable DTMF: the SmartSwitch will detect incoming tones and regenerate them as received. Enter 2-255 to specify a number of seconds the SmartSwitch will regenerate DTMF tones (including call setup). The default value for this parameter is 1, enable DTMF.

TE Timer

The Timed E Timer parameter is relevant only if Interface (see below) is EM. It is the time (in seconds) of the delay after which the EM ÒEÓ lead follows the ÒMÓ lead. The default value for this parameter is 3.

Call Timer

This Þeld is the amount of time (in seconds) the SmartSwitch 1800 will wait for a response to a Call Connect or a Call Clear request. When the SmartSwitch issues the Call Connect or Call Clear request, it will set a timer to the value conÞgured here. If that timer expires with no response from the destination, the SmartSwitch will generate a busy tone. The default value for this parameter is 5.

Dial Timer

This is the delay (in seconds) the SmartSwitch 1800 will use to determine when variable-length dialing is complete. (Variable-length dialing allows the user to place a call without entering the conÞgured number of digits for the speed dial number.)

When the operator of the attached voice/fax equipment dials a digit that is not the conÞgured Long Dial PreÞx (see below), the SmartSwitch 1800 assumes a speed-dial number is being dialed and activates the Dial Timer. If the timer expires with no new digit entries, the SmartSwitch will assume dialing is complete.

The default value for this parameter is 0. A setting of 0 means the Dial Timer will never expire. The SmartSwitch 1800 will wait indeÞnitely for the operator to enter the digits.

If the number of dialed digits is less than the value speciÞed for Dial Digits in the Voice Parameters window (see ConÞguring System-Level Voice Parameters, page 12-2), the SmartSwitch will ÒpadÓ the dialed number with leading zeros before searching the speed-dial conÞguration map. For example, assume Dial Digits is 4 and the user has dialed 33 when the Dial Timer expires. The speed dial number 0033 will be used to search the speed-dial map for a deÞned destination.

Note that regardless of the Dial Timer setting, any of the following conditions and/or conÞgurations will disable variable-length dialing:

¥Long-call-format dialing is being used. The SmartSwitch 1800 assumes this format is being used if the Þrst digit dialed is the character conÞgured for Long Dial PreÞx (see below);

¥The Num Digits Delete parameter (see below) is set to any value greater than 0;

¥Auto Dial (see below) is set to Enabled.

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.
