C HAPTER 1 A BOUT THE WAN SUITE 5330
Introduction
The telecommunications network service market is rapidly changing, where
network monitoring, control, and higher performance in packet processing are
not only expected, but demanded, at competitive price points. WAN access
architecture −a highly flexible and powerful architecture that can meet the
needs of many different customers in many different applications. Because it
is so flexible, WANsuite products will continually evolve, offering our
customers cutting-edge features at competitive prices.
Verilink’s WANsuite 5330 is a feature-rich, intelligent integrated access
device (I2AD) for managing multiple applications and mixed-mode packet-
based services −including high-speed Internet access − at price points
expected of single-function devices.
The WANsuite 5330 is built on Verilink's innovative, next-generation WAN
access architecture. This unit is a single network port, service aware DDS
DSU/CSU with a serial port software-configurable for RS-232, EIA-530, or
V.35 electrical connections, an asynchronous Supervisory port that supports
PPP and tty, a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface, five status LEDs, and two
input control keys. Capable of accommodating a wide range of network
configurations, the WANsuite 5330 effectively combines voice, data, and
network traffic over a single transmission facility and works with non-
proprietary network management solutions.
The WANsuite 5330 gives service providers and enterprise customers the
capability to monitor end-to-end network performance (with support of up
to 256 virtual circuits) as well as the capability to verify Service Level
Agreements (SLAs); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or
frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth need; and monitor
network trends to aid in future capacity planning.
All of WANsuite 5330’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the unit’s embedded Web server interface (WANsight™) using
Microsoft®Internet Explorer™ 5.x. The Web server interface can be accessed
locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through

1-2 WANsuite 5330
the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced
monitoring and control capability that gives network administrators the
ability to plan future capacity requirements. To extend the WANsuite 5330’s
functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software
system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology allows network managers to
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management
platform lets the end user see network activity (performance) and problems
(diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line, or physical
circuit.
Verilink’s FrameStart™ technology is standard with the WANsuite 5330 and
benefits the initial installation of frame relay circuits by eliminating the
requirement for a frame relay test set. FrameStart ensures that DDS circuit
status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access link condition, and the
various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting features are available
and accurate.
Features of the WANsuite 5330
Performance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as single-
function devices such as CSU/DSUs, but have not been optimized to address
higher level traffic issues such as service levels and integration. Verilink's
architecture and Web-based user interface work together to address all access
issues as services and applications, rather than as circuits and protocols, for
exceptional WAN management performance.
To further leverage its Web browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
SNMP Management
With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now
manage Verilink WANsuite units and their integral CSU/DSUs as a single
unit. With only one LAN segment in the network, all Verilink WANsuite
platforms can be managed by SNMP. With self-learning functionality, these
platforms learn their frame relay environment and eliminate the need for
remote, trained personnel. By downloading all configuration parameters from
the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish
connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame relay or leased-line
services. Verilink’s WANsuite 5330 allows any port to be configured for any
of its available service technologies through simple software configuration.
Network managers can now fine tune the enterprise network for the lowest
cost and highest performance.

About the WANsuite 5330 1-3
Intelligent WAN Access Architecture
Verilink's next-generation WAN access architecture is built around a
PowerPC™ processor with 50 MIPs of processing power and 16 Mbytes of
onboard memory, and works with nonproprietary network management
solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use
interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for
mapping services to ports, an endpoint table for configuring and monitoring
service endpoints, and a user table for traffic monitoring and control.
Optional Advanced Network Management
As an option for the WANsuite 5330, Verilink offers a network management
system based on RedPoint's NetVoyant™ software, which was designed to
provide IT professionals with the information required to make informed,
enterprise-wide capacity planning and investment decisions. NetVoyant is an
NT-based element management system that includes an ODBC-compliant
database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility, real-time
diagnostics, and extensive reporting and trending application support. The
solution employs an open-system, multi-vendor support approach for network
management, monitoring, and the collection of statistics from any SNMP-
based networking device including Verilink equipment already in the field.
WANsuite extends the functionality of NetVoyant’s software by incorporating
customized configuration modules. This advanced network management
system is offered as an option for the WANsuite 5330. Please contact Verilink
for availability and pricing information.
About FrameStart Technology
The WANsuite 5330’s FrameStart technology ensures that frame relay service
is operational prior to installation and connection to other equipment.
FrameStart’s integral frame relay circuit installation and diagnostic tools help
reduce equipment and installation costs, simplify configuration setup, and
alleviate frame relay connection uncertainties −all in one unit.
WANsuite 5330 supports both FrameStart Install mode and FrameStart
Monitor mode as well as Layer 2 statistics gathering and diagnostic
capabilities that maximize network availability and manage the growth of the
network.
FrameStart Install enables step-by-step validation of network operations and
requires no data terminal equipment such as routers or FRADs. If a DTE
device is connected, operation is halted to perform installation diagnostics.
With FrameStart Install, you have the power to perform advanced tests
including the following:
•Local Management Interface (LMI) Sourcing
•End-to-end Integrity
•PVC Delay Testing

1-4 WANsuite 5330
•Network Receive Level

Indicator Description
MODE Normally, the MODE indicator lights green.
This indicator lights amber while configuration is being set by
the front panel buttons or when the configuration is changed by
SNMP or through the Web server interface. The indicator will
remain amber until the changed configuration is saved; it will
revert to green when the new configuration has been saved.
NET The NET indicator is off (not illuminated) when the port has not
been configured.
The indicator lights red if the DDS link is down or when a
connection has not yet been established.
The indicator lights green when the DDS link is operational and
the configured protocol is established.
The indicator lights amber if the DDS link is operational but at
least one configured frame relay service is down.
SERIAL The SERIAL indicator is off (not illuminated) when the port has
not been configured.
This indicator lights green when DTR is active and the
configured protocol is established.
The indicator lights red when DTR is not active and the
configured protocol is not established.
The indicator lights amber when DTR is not active or the
configured protocol is not established.
ALARM The ALARM indicator is off (not illuminated) when no alarm
conditions exist.
The indicator lights amber to indicate an OOF alarm. (Other
alarms may also be active.)
The indicator lights red for all other alarm conditions.
POWER The POWER indicator lights green when power is applied to
the unit.
The indicator lights amber in test modes (Port looped or BERT
active).
Button Description
RESET The RESET button provides a hardware reset to the unit.
CONFIG The CONFIG button sets the unit back to its factory default
configuration for Packet Mode operation; this is the same as a
maintenance reset. To initiate this function, you must press and hold
the CONFIG button during a power-up sequence.*
