optimization (compression, prioritiza-
tion, filters), and remote office link
security (firewalling, encryption). Two
types of link routing are supported:
wire-speed LAN-to-LAN (Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet, and/or Token Ring) and
multiple high-speed WAN (T1/FT1/E1).
Provides maximum
investment protection
Beyond answering the needs of most
current remote networks, the futureproof
design of the ARN provides ample
performance headroom for emerging
application requirements. The continu-
ing development of WAN adapter
modules assures an easy, cost-effective
migration path for upgrading to the
newest WAN access technologies.
Features
High-performance processors
and memory modules
The high-performance, highly flexible
base unit of the ARN router contains
a Motorola 33 MHz MC68040 micro-
processor, ensuring high forwarding
and filtering rates across each of its
network interfaces.
Benefits
Delivers extended interface
density and flexibility
With support for up to four LAN and
seven serial interfaces, the ARN pro-
vides an ideal platform for remote sites
combining multiple core legacy devices
(SDLC, BSC, polled Async or X.25)
and LAN-based client/server traffic
(IP and IPX) over Frame Relay, X.25,
X.25 PAD leased line, or dial (analog
or ISDN) links (see Figure 1).
By integrating transmission devices
such as 56K or T1/E1/FT1/FE1 CSU/
DSUs, ISDN BRI, or modems into
the ARN chassis, the number of
multivendor, separately managed
devices and cabling is reduced. This
simplifies remote management and
enhances reliability.
Supports high-performance
networking
The high-performance architecture
of the ARN supports concurrent
execution of compute-intensive appli-
cations including SNA network inte-
gration (Data Link Switching-DLSw),
Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking
(APPN), SDLC, WAN bandwidth
Optional expansion modules—includ-
ing a choice of Ethernet/Multiserial,
7-serial, or tri-serial—offer additional
serial interfaces. The expansion module
can also hold a LAN interface for
integrating existing low-speed legacy
device traffic (Synchronous Data Link
Control [SDLC], Binary Synchronous
Communications [BSC], polled
Async, or X.25) and LAN-based
client/server traffic over a consolidated
WAN link to the corporate backbone.
The ARN employs Motorola
MC68040 and MC68360 micro-
processors to handle the demands of
compute-intensive internetwork
applications. This includes multiproto-
col routing, SNA integration, traffic
management, and high-speed WAN
communication.
Seamless integration with the enterprise
internetwork is ensured through Nortel
Networks Optivity* network manage-
ment application support for compre-
hensive node configuration, monitor-
ing, and control. Optional embedded
Ethernet Remote Monitoring (RMON)
probes—Data Collection Modules
(DCMs)—provide visibility into
network activity at remote sites
where there is typically
no dedicated support staff.
Software RMON support
is available for the 10-Mbps
and 100-Mbps systems.
The ARN is a critical part of
the product family. Combined
with the 10BaseT stackable
hubs, 100BaseT hubs,
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
switches, and remote access
devices, the ARN delivers
a robust, scalable solution
for providing remote
office connectivity to
the enterprise network.
