SmartSwitch 1800 Voice Configuration

Forward Delay

This parameter is relevant only if Forwarded Digits (see below) is set to All or Extended. It speciÞes the time (in 0.25 second increments) for two delays:

¥the delay before extended digits are forwarded;

¥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 SmartSwitch 1800 will pause for the length of time conÞgured for Forward Delay before additional extended digits are forwarded.

The default value for this parameter is 2 (0.5 seconds).

Make Ratio

This parameter is relevant only if Forwarded Digits (see below) is set to All or Extended and Forwarded Type (see below) is set to Pulse. It speciÞes the make ratio of each digit pulse that is forwarded. Make periods are the times contact is made for each digit.

Valid values are 20-80 (in increments of 2); the default value is 34.

Break Ratio

This parameter is relevant only if Forwarded Digits (see below) is set to All or Extended and Forwarded Type (see below) is set to Pulse. It speciÞes the break ratio of each digit pulse that is forwarded. Break periods are the times contact is broken between digits.

Valid values are 80-20 (in increments of 2); the default value is 66.

DTMF On Duration

This parameter is relevant only if Forwarded Digits (see below) is set to All or Extended and Forwarded Type (see below) is set to DTMF. This speciÞes the length (in milliseconds) of a tone that will be used to produce a single DTMF digit. The default value for this parameter is 100.

DTMF Off Duration

This parameter is relevant only if Forwarded Digits (see below) is set to All or Extended and Forwarded Type (see below) is set to DTMF. This speciÞes the length (in milliseconds) of silence between DTMF tones in a dial digit string. The default value for this parameter is 100.

Auto Dial

This parameter enables or disables the auto-dial feature of the SmartSwitch 1800. If auto-dialing is enabled, the SmartSwitch will dial the conÞgured Auto Dial Number (see below) when the handset attached to this voice port is taken off-hook. The default value for this parameter is Disabled. Enabling this parameter will disable the variable length dialing feature for this channel, regardless of the Dial Timer setting (see above).

1800, FRX4000, FRX6000 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.
