FRAD
Product Family Product Overview
|
|
|
|
Today's competitive market offers you a variety of networking products from which to choose. Easy to install, easy to manage, great performance, high value-add are more than just industry buzz words to Encore Networks. Featuring simplicity, flexibility, and value, the Encore Networks Frame Relay IP family of multi-protocol access devices is a sure bet for your networking solutions.
FRAD router devices include the EtherFRAD™ and the MonoFRAD™ designed to meet needs for accessing a multi-protocol environment. The cornerstone of that environment is Encore Networks' extensive library of legacy protocols. Whether you require support for SNA/SDLC for teller workstation access, TCP/IP for Internet access, IPX for access to the corporate LAN, bisync for ATM transactions, X.25 terminal access to a lottery network, async for an alarm system, or ALC for access to an airline reservation network, the Encore Networks FRAD multi-protocol access devices are your best choice. |
|
| FLEXIBILITY |
Phenomenal
flexibility is just one hallmark of the Encore
Networks FRADs. Using the multiple serial
ports, the EtherFRAD™ can become a Frame
Relay switch or a hub site concentrator;
route data and Permanent Virtual Circuits
(PVCs) from one Frame Relay carrier or port
to another; or concentrate PVCs from outlying
regions into a single PVC for transmission
back to the host, all while continuing to
route IP traffic.
Encore Networks
FRADs support backup capability, allowing
data to be rerouted from failed network
ports to other backup ports on a per DLCI
basis. |
|
| FEATURES |
FASTICK™ |
Using
the Fastick interface, DCE and DTE port configuration
is literally a snap. No more crossover cables
to worry about. Simply flip over the compact
Fastick to change the interface type. Standard
cables and connectors mean speedy installation
and lower costs. |
|
FastRATE™ and
MaximumPRIORITY™ |
These
features work to optimize Frame Relay services
by policing CIR data and prioritizing data.
The FRADs exercise extremely fine control
over the available bandwidth. The result
is that the FRAD device comes online within
seconds, a performance enhancement that lowers
cost, improves productivity, and makes for
an attractive bottom line. |
|
FastCONNECT™ and
FastCONFIG™ |
These
innovative, self-learning features automatically
determine the Frame Relay port, DLCI/PVC,
and IP address configurations, simplifying
installation so dramatically that you can
complete configuration in just a few keystrokes. |
|
Easy to
Use, Economical |
Multiple
protocols, flexibility, innovative features,
performance, and configurable options you
can really use all combine to provide the
Encore Networks FRADs with the most dynamic,
cost-effective and exciting feature set of
any multi-protocol access devices on the
market today. |
|
FramePROTECT™ |
Critically
important to legacy protocol users is the
FramePROTECT data loss protection system.
When enabled, FramePROTECT prevents the loss
of mission critical data before network congestion
affects your application. No frames are lost.
No sessions are dropped. In addition, FramePROTECT
stores critical data in a protected memory
area for periods of high activity when memory
levels may be low and data loss is likely
to occur. |
