FrameNode 4300 Frame Relay Router

The 4300 Series Frame Relay Router is specifically designed for business-critical branch internetworking at medium or large branches on public, private or hybrid frame relay networks. Engineered for exceptional price/performance, the two to six port 4300 platform integrates in a single box:

• An FT1/T1 DSU/CSU for connecting to the frame relay network
• A 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 six 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 4300 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

BENEFITS
The FrameNode 4300 Series 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 enable you to add new IP intranet applications without compromising the performance of you existing mission-critical applications.

The 4300 FrameNode is optimized for large, hierarchical topologies common in branch networks. Its extensive management tools allow these networks to be rapidly migrated to frame relay. The proactive management tools ensure optimal network availability with minimal impact to opertional staff.
