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.
