P RODUCT I NTRODUCTION
This chapter provides information about the Alcatel OmniAccess 601, OmniAccess 602, and
OmniAccess 604 router front and back panels, LEDs, cable connection ports, and panel
components.
Overview
This section describes front- and back-panel components of the Alcatel OmniAccess 601,
OmniAccess 602, and OmniAccess 604 router. Additional information is also provided in
following sections about external cables, wiring, and connection points.
The Alcatel OmniAccess 601, OmniAccess 602, and OmniAccess 604 are designed to provide
WAN-to-LAN networking connectivity for branch office communication and primary Internet
access for medium-size businesses. The OmniAccess 601, OmniAccess 602, and OmniAccess
604 are T1/E1 routers providing one, two, or four WAN ports, two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports,
an AUX port, an ISDN backup port, and a local/remote management Console port.
The routers may be purchased with 1 to 4 ports active. If all the WAN ports are not all
activated at the time of purchase then additional ports can be activated via a software license
key. Software licence keys may be purchased to activate additional WAN ports to allow
scalable bandwidth as your needs grow. Contact Alcatel sales (1-818 880 3500) for more
information.
In addition to the command line interface, the Model OmniAccess 600-series routers support a
Web User Interface which can be used to configure basic operational and security features. For
more information on the Web UI, refer to the OmniAccess 600-series Router Web User
Interface User Guide.
