ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL
16
• Motorola/UDS SW56 II A CSU/DSU that can be used for DTR dialing on a Switched-56 network, or
used for DDS.
For ISDN service:
• Black Box/EAZY part number IS280A.
• Adtran ISU 128: An ISDN/BRT TA (terminal adapter) that can create one 112 Kbps channel out of
the two B channels on an ISDN BRI line.
• Motorola/UDS TA-220 and TA-220K: An ISDN/BRI TA that allows two different terminals to be
active on different calls simultaneously. It also allows the two channels to be “bonded” into one 112
Kbps channel.
The Sync Router performs identically to the Async Router AR-P, unless specifically noted inn this
document.
2.5 Async Client Kit
Each Async Router AR-5 is shipped with Async Client kits (also called RemoteOffice), and SmartRoute™
software that supports up to 100 clients. Each Async Client kit includes:
• Remote Office client software diskette (for PCs with DOS 3.3+ and Windows 3.1+)
• VLM software diskette (used by remote client software)
The remote client software package enables remote PCs, laptop computers and workstations to dial
into a Router and access services on accessible LANs. Unlike LAN-to-LAN connections, which require a
dedicated phone line between them, a remote client calls into any modem line on the Router (if it is
configured for client operation). Remote client services can be offered inexpensively to many users,
using the multiple built-in modem lines offered in the Async Router AR-5.
Remote client access requires a remote user to have an account on the Router. This client account is
created by the system administrator. It has a user name, user password, and an optional security call-back
number.
Refer to the Reference Guide, which begins on page 137, for more detailed information about managing
client databases.
2.6 Operating Requirements
To configure or manage Routers, you need:
• a PC with a serial terminal emulator (such as Windows Terminal), or a serial terminal, or a PC on
Ethernet (IPX), or a workstation with telnet on local Ethernet (IP)
• After initial configuration, remote management of Routers requires a PC with RouterVu (IPX
networks) or a workstation with telnet (IP networks)
At an Async Router AR-P or AR-5 site, you need':
• a local Ethernet-based IP or IPX network
• a maximum of 5 phone lines
• one power outlet 110VAC to 250VAC
