Product Overview
The SmartSwitch 1800 is a high-performance, multiprotocol branch access device,
providing the ability to transmit LAN data, legacy data (e.g., SDLC, bisync, async),
voice, and fax over a single frame relay link. A powerful management capability
allows allocation of frame relay bandwidth to ensure that each type of traffic receives
the necessary quality of service.
The SmartSwitch 1800 shares much functionality and compatibility with Cabletron’s
FRX4000, FRX6000, and the Frame Relay Module (FRM) for the SmartSwitch 9000.
A SmartSwitch 1800 with a video interfaces features an intuitive, menu-based man-
agement structure that allows complete local and remote control of other SmartSwitch
1800s, as well as other Cabletron frame relay access devices.
