The FrameNode 3700 Frame Relay Router is specifically designed for business-critical branch internetworking at small or medium branches on public, private or hybrid frame relay networks.

Engineered for exceptional price/performance, the 3700 platform integrates in a single box:

• A 56/64 Kbps DSU/CSU for connecting to the frame relay network
• An BRI ISDN Terminal adapter or V.90 modem for dial backup
• A service modem for out-of-band network management connection
• A token ring or Ethernet LAN interface
• Up to four serial data ports for SNA or legacy applications
• A local network management port for on-site management of the box
• Circuit Management via Virtual Network Interactive Protocol (VNIP)

The 3700 runs award-winning FrameNode software, which delivers business-critical SNA, powerful IP branch routing and integral circuit management. The FrameNode software features: powerful multi-protocol quality of service, non-disruptive SNA session rerouting, automatic dial backup, frame relay bandwidth allocation and burst management, and automatic dial backup.

BENEFITS
The FrameNode 3700 platform is a complete branch internetworking solution delivering exceptional price/performance over multi-box alternatives. This enables you to add new services while reducing network complexity and operating costs.

Its powerful connectivity and quality-of-service features converge SNA, legacy, and IP applications across frame relay. The FrameNode’s award-winning QoS capabilities enables you to add new IP intranet applications without comprising the performance of your existing mission critical applications.

The FrameNode is optimized for large, hierarchical topologies common in branch networks. Its extensive network management tools allow these networks to be rapidly migrated to frame relay. The proactive management tools ensure optimal network availability with minimal impact to operational staff.
