Application—ISDN home or telecommuter connectivity
For a SoHo/telecommuter, the SmartNode 4552 & 4562 can provide an off-premise extension to the corpo-
rate network (see figure 5). Along with the access to the corporate ISDN PBX, the SmartNode provides Inter-
net access and VPN connectivity to the main office. In this configuration, the remote user will appear to be
local and can take advantage of services available to local telephony and LAN users (such as file-server access,
station-to-station dialing, outside trunk access, and voice mail). Additionally, the home user can take advantage
of corporate dialing rates.
