Echo LANlink
Router Option
User Manual
1INTRODUCTION
This user manual describes installation, configuration and operation of the Echo LANlink Multiplexer Router option, and must be referred to in conjunction with the Echo LANlink Multiplexer User Manual.
The Echo LANlink is an E1 time division multiplexer (TDM) operating at 2Mbps compliant with both EUROPEAN and UK G.703 communications standards. The Router Option card adds the capability of connecting two Local Area Networks (LANs), via the E1 communication link, using some or all of the link bandwidth.
A Router Option card needs to be installed inside the Echo LANlink at both ends of the communications link. Each Router examines addressing information on each LAN, and on recognition of an address on the distant LAN, forwards the frame via the communication link, thereby linking the two LANs together (see Figure 1).
