Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)

Password

Protocol (PAP)

Peak Cell Rate (PCR)

PLAR

An authentication protocol that allows Point-to-Point Protocol peers to authenticate one another.

The Peak Cell Rate, in cells/sec, is the cell rate which the source may never exceed.

Private Line, Automatic Ringdown. A leased voice circuit that connects two single instruments together. When either handset is lifted, the other instrument automatically rings.

PMDL

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

port

protocol

PVC

Path Maintenance Data Link.

Provides a standard means of encapsulating data packets sent over a single-channel WAN link. It is the standard WAN encapsulation protocol for the interoperability of bridges and routers.

A physical address that is associated with a physical connecting device.

Procedure or set of rules.

Permanent Virtual Circuit. A PVC is a permanent channel connection between two ATM devices. PVC’s allow network transmissions to be started without having to first establish a connection with the end point ATM device. When a PVC is constructed, the end points of the connection will agree upon a path in which data will travel, and therefore agree upon the route that data will travel to reach its destination.

RIP

Routing Information Protocol. RIP is based on distance vector

 

algorithms that measure the shortest path between two points on a

 

network, based on the addresses of the originating and destination

 

devices. The shortest path is determined by the number of "hops"

 

between those points. Each router maintains a routing table, or routing

 

database, of known addresses and routes; each router periodically

 

broadcasts the contents of its table to neighboring routers in order that the

 

entire network can maintain a synchronized database.

This multi-protocol compatibility allows service providers to integrate legacy systems with newer technologies, providing a seamless migration path for businesses looking to upgrade their communications infrastructure. The device supports voice over IP (VoIP) as well, making it an ideal solution for organizations transitioning to IP-based communication systems.

The Axxius 800 is equipped with multiple slots for modular interface cards, allowing operators to customize the system according to their specific needs. This modular approach not only enhances scalability but also ensures that the system can adapt to changing business requirements over time. Users can easily add or remove interfaces, ensuring that they only invest in the capabilities they require.

In terms of management and monitoring, the Axxius 800 features an intuitive web-based interface that simplifies the administration of voice and data resources. This centralized management capability enables easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, dramatically reducing operational inefficiencies. Additionally, it supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for integration with existing network management systems and enabling proactive monitoring of network health.

The Axxius 800 also excels in redundancy and reliability. With dual power supplies and hot-swappable components, the device ensures minimal downtime, which is crucial for businesses that rely on constant communication availability. Security features are another focal point, as the platform offers various encryption and authentication options to safeguard sensitive data.

In conclusion, the Carrier Access Axxius 800 is a robust telecommunications solution that combines flexibility, reliability, and advanced features. Its ability to accommodate numerous technologies, alongside an emphasis on easy management and reliability, makes it an excellent choice for service providers and enterprises looking to enhance their network infrastructure while safeguarding future investments.
