Technical Specifications

Wanpipe^® and Sangoma's internal WAN cards add WAN router functionality without degrading other workstation or server applications.

Connection Options

• Single channel direct using the A101 card.
• Dual channel direct using the A102 card.
• Quad channel direct using the A104 card.
• Broadband ADSL links using Sangoma's S518 card.
• Dual or quad serial V.35/X.21/RS422/RS485/RS232 using Sangoma's A142 or A144 cards.

Protocols

Wanpipe^® uses Sangoma's own laboratory tested and certified WAN protocol stacks, not open source WAN implementations. Supported protocols include:

• ATM UNI with unlimited VPIs, VCIs per port.
• Frame Relay RFC 1490 or RFC 1294, with unlimited DLCIs per port.
• PPP RFC 1661, 1332, 1552, 1321, 1334.
• Cisco HDLC.
• X.25 RFC 1356.
• Plus other line protocols for non-IP support.

Operating Systems

• Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT both as servers and workstations.
• All versions of Linux from 1.3 up.
• FreeBSD, (Note: X.25 and ATM are not supported under BSD).
• Sun Solaris.

IP Protocols

• Static routing or full support of OSPF, RIP, BGP4.
• Transparent support of QoS, VPN.

Compatibility

Wanpipe^® connects to all standard third party routers. Strict compliance with IETF, IEE, ISO and ITU standards ensure trouble-free interconnections.

Management utilities:

• SNMP support, including full Frame Relay MIB set.
• Windows SNMP support through the Windows Performance Monitor.
• Self configuration of T1/E1 parameters, ADSL parameters and Frame Relay parameters allows for easy setup in unknown environments.
• Sangoma's WanpipeMON tools provide engineering level debugging tools, ensuring that complicated WAN problems can be isolated quickly.
• Raw and interpreted real time line traces.
• Installation, management and debugging tools leverage existing operating tools such as ifconfig and the /proc file system under Linux, and the Performance Monitor under Windows. There is no need to learn separate router commands.
• Informative event logs provided.
• Communication status lights supported through the keyboard status LCDs.
• Wanpipe^® can be set up in back-to-back configurations for off-net testing.
