The FrameNode 4200 Frame Relay Router
is specifically designed for business-critical branch internetworking
on public, private or hybrid frame relay networks at regional
or central sites. Engineered for exceptional price/performance,
the two to eight port 4200 platform integrates an optional
LAN interface to deliver the high performance branch connectivity
required in a sleek/compact unit.
Features and Options
Each FrameNode 4200 supports 2, 4 or 8 high speed serial
ports and an optional Token Ring or Ethernet LAN.
The award-winning FrameNode software supports all of the
essential elements for business-critical branch internetworking,
including: extensive SNA and legacy protocol support; frame
relay optimized IP and IPX internetworking; powerful multiprotocol
prioritization, bandwidth allocation and burst management
capabilities; non-disruptive SNA session rerouting; automatic
dial backup; and industry-leading NetView/390 and SNMP
based session and circuit aware management.
BENEFITS
The FrameNode 4200 platform is a complete branch internetworking
solution delivering exceptional price/performance in a
regional or central site. Its powerful connectivity and
Quality of Service (QoS) features converge SNA, legacy
and IP/IPX branch applications across frame relay. Extensive
management tools allow proactive management and ensure
optimal network availability with minimal impact to operational
staff. And frame relay optimized SNA and IP support enables
reliable and responsive access to SNA and cor
