INTRODUCTION
The Hypertec ISDN 10T Router is a compact router/bridge designed for small office and home applications by providing a consolidated data and voice link to Internet, Intranet, and the telephone network over a single ISDN line.
Figure 0-1 The Hypertec ISDN 10T Router
The Hypertec ISDN 10T Router provides an ideal means of connecting a local area network consisting of Ethernet stations to the Internet through a local Internet Service Provider (ISP) and using conventional voice and fax services over the same ISDN line.
Using the Hypertec Router, users at Ethernet workstations can communicate freely with each other over a private Intranet and can access Internet servers all via the same ISDN line. The Hypertec Router establishes the ISDN connection when required and automatically drops when it is not in use. The Hypertec ISDN Router is of equal value in linking satellite branches with Novell IPX based networks to their head office Novell Networks, using IPX spoofing to minimise call connection time.
By using up to 128 KBPS bandwidth of an ISDN digital line, the Hypertec ISDN Router overcomes the slow response times, noise and data corruption which may be exhibited by modems using analog lines. The Hypertec ISDN Router includes all the hardware and software necessary for accessing the Internet and corporate LANs.
The Hypertec ISDN Router includes full management capabilities, which permit easy configuration of the router and ISDN parameters. Management may be performed from a console, through SNMP network management software, or through a web browser.
