LAN/WAN Services

Computers connected to an IP network in an office communicate via the LAN (Local Area Network). To support

small networks both Small Office Edition and IP406 incorporate a Layer 2 Ethernet switch. The Small Office

Edition supports 4 ports (with a fifth Ethernet port as a firewalled Layer 3 switch), the IP406 supports 8 ports.

The IP412 and IP500 support a firewalled 2 port Layer 3 Ethernet Switch only.

When computers on the LAN communicate they do not care where the destination is, they just send messages

with the address of the destination. These messages are likely to be received at all other computers on the

same network but only one – the target destination – will act on the message. Where the destination is on

another network, the router is needed to be the "gateway" to the rest of the world and find the optimum route

to send the message on to the destination. The router alleviates the need to establish and hold a call for the

duration of a communication session (when messages or IP packets are being sent between source and

destination) by automatically establishing a connection only when data is to be passed. Routers may be

connected together using WAN (Wide Area Network) links that could be point-to-point leased lines, managed

IP networks, Frame Relay networks or exchange lines (Central Office). The IP Office system supports all of

these types of network connections.

IP400 systems have a Wide Area Network (WAN) port that can be connected to a digital leased line service

using either X.21 or V.35 interface at speeds up to 2048kbps. Point-to-Point protocol (PPP) is used over this

link. The data within the call uses the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) which is used by the vast majority of

manufacturers for linking routers. PPP support is essential if it is not the same manufacturer's equipment at

each end of the link. Addition WAN ports can be added using up to two WAN3 10/100 external expansion

modules. On Small Office Edition systems a single option WAN port card can be added. IP500 systems do not

support this type of port.

Exchange lines (Central Office) can also be used in the event of failure of the WAN link or to provide alternate

or top up bandwidth on demand.

All IP Office systems have an integral router with support for bandwidth on demand that allows the negotiation

of extra bandwidth dynamically over time. Where connection is over ISDN, IP Office initiates extra data

connections between sites only when there is data to be sent or sufficient data to warrant additional channels.

It then drops the extra channels when they are no longer needed. The calls are made automatically, without

the users being aware of when calls begin or end. The rules for making calls, how long to keep calls up etc, are

configurable within IP Office.

It is possible to have several different routing destinations or paths active at any time linking the office to

other offices and the Internet simultaneously.

Internet Access

While the telephone is still the number one business communication tool, Internet access is becoming

increasingly important for business-to-business communications. The ability to send and receive email, is now

considered mandatory when dealing with many suppliers and customers, while access to the Internet for e-

commerce applications and information has become vital.

IP Office systems provide shared, secure, high-speed access to the Internet via exchange lines (Central

Office), digital leased line or IP VPN services.

Internet security concerns are addressed through the provision of an integrated firewall so removing the need

for a standalone firewall. The firewall can be configured to cater for a variety of situations and will allow

customers to control who can access external resources and when. The firewall isolates your private networks

from the Internet, thereby ensuring that your network remains beyond the reach of hackers, while

configurable service quotas can be set against a remote access service to ensure authorized users can gain

access. Service Quotas place a time limit on outgoing calls to a particular IP Service so limiting costs. Each

service can be configured with an alternative fall back, for example, you may wish to connect to your ISP

during working hours and at other times take advantage of varying call charges from an alternative ISP. You

could, therefore, set up one service to connect during peak times and another to act as fallback during the

cheaper period.
