Asce Networks' Climax800 Access Switch/Data FRAD is an entry-level, convergent solution for remote branch offices, allowing consolidation of legacy, LAN and voice.

With its fixed configuration, the Climax800 cost-effectively converges data and voice traffic over a common Frame Relay platform, meeting the demanding connectivity needs of today's enterprise networks.

Affordable Entry-Level Networking Solutions
Supporting a broad range of services including voice and data as well as a wide range of protocols, Asce Networks' Climax800 is the ideal solution for today's convergence needs - providing performance and throughput to remote branch offices extending the reach of newer applications.

Asce Networks' Climax800 Access Switch is a compact, entry-level solution that provides remote offices with multiprotocol and multiservice access to networks. Today's branch offices are key entry points to the network as organizations extend new applications and technologies to the edge of the enterprise. The Climax800 offers single-platform consolidation of LAN, legacy and voice at an affordable price. It supports a broad range of services including voice and data as well as a wide range of protocols from user devices that include; legacy SNA/SDLC, Async, 3270 Bisync, HDLC and X.25, Frame Relay and 10BaseT Ethernet. Asce Networks' Climax800 is the ideal solution for today's convergence needs while providing performance and throughput to remote branch offices extending newer applications.

Common Software Platform
Asce Networks' Common Software Platform (CSP) offers the same full multiprotocol software support in the Climax800 that our customers have come to expect through the Climax900e and Climax950 products.

A Powerful Solution for Remote Branch Offices
Voice and data applications converge onto a WAN trunk running at speeds from 56/64 Kbps to T1/E1. Units are shipped 'ready to install,' with three serial ports, a single Ethernet port and two analog voice ports.

Operational Features
◆ 'Typical' configuration for small branch offices who require cost-effective multifunction capabilities and performance.
◆ Software-configurable voice compression algorithms to capitalize on line conditions and network requirements using fragmentation and prioritization.
◆ ACELP II voice compression at 5.8 and 8 Kbps
◆ G.729 standard voice compression supported by AVDB-2 module.
◆ ADPCM voice compression at 16, 24, 32 or 40 Kbps.
◆ VoIP (H.323) Gateway support.
◆ Includes Asce Networks Voice Routing Technology: a new routing approach for voice/fax traffic over Frame Relay and IP which automatically remembers remote site numbers, simpligying network implementation and administration, minimizing costs.
◆ Feature-rich LAN capabilities for Ethernet 10BaseT with IP/IPX routing and support of LAN protocols such as RIP, RIP2, OSPF, VRRP, ARP, RARP and LLC.
◆ RFC 1490-compliant encapsulation and fragmentation of LAN traffic in Frame Relay frames for transmission over Frame Relay networks, resulting in reduced costs and optimal use of bandwidth.
◆ Strong extensive legacy support with X.25, 3270 Bisync, Async, HDLC, TBOP, TCOP and SNA/SDLC; SDLC-LLC2 conversion; LLC2/BAN; LLC2/BNN and SDLC to QLLC/X.25.
◆ Software-selectable ports for V.35, V.24, X.21 and configurable DTE/DCE.
◆ Network connection support at 1.544/2.048 Mbps.
◆ Configured using Asce Networks' new CXTool, a Windows-based configuration tool specifically designed for Asce Networks' Climax family of products. Monitoring is performed using Asce Networks' CXView, a monitoring tool based on a client/server architecture that allows network managers to view status information on their Asce Networks-based network components from any location, using a standard HTTP browser. The CXView can be easily integrated within an NMS, such as HP OpenView.
