SmartNode 4900 Series applications

SmartNode 4900 Series devices have dual 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports and a single V.35 or X.21 sync-serial port. The two Ethernet ports provide full featured IP routing plus Ethernet and IP layer QoS services. The sync-serial port provides WAN access for integrated voice and data via a leased-line connection to the network. Voice prioritization and traffic management avoid network congestion and provide optimal voice quality. The following sections show two typical converged voice-and-data applications.

Multiservice carrier access over leased lines

The SN4900 Series enables service providers to use Frame-Relay or PPP sync-serial access lines to offer Inter- net and VPN services integrated with voice services for up to 32 analog telephone lines (see figure 4). The dual 10/100Base-TX LAN ports can be used for LAN connectivity and a dedicated VPN and DMZ connection.

The FXS ports connect to PBXs, key-systems or handsets while the FXS ports can be used for local breakout or fallback to the PSTN.
