Engage Ships Internet Access
Router that combines a 56K DSU/CSU and a T1/FT1 DSU/CSU
in one package
APTOS, Calif., October 16, 1996
-- Engage Communication ships the Advanced IP*Express-56/T1
The Advanced IP*Express-56/T1 is a TCP/IP WAN Router that
combines a 56K DSU/CSU and a T1/FT1 DSU/CSU in one package.
This products makes upgrading from a 56kbps line to a
T1 or Fractional T1 line a matter of cabling and software
reconfiguration of the router to the T1 interface.
"This product makes it possible
for our customers to start out with a 56k line and have
the built-in support for T1 there for the inevitible demand
for increased bandwidth." says Engage Vice President
Tom Ver Ploeg "Since the majority of the configuration
involves IP addressing, reconfiguration for T1/FT1 can
be done in minutes with Telnet or EngageView."
Engage has two WAN product offerings:
the Advanced IP*Express and the Advanced ExpressRouter.
The Advanced ExpressRouter routes TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk.
The Advanced IP*Express only routes TCP/IP. Both products
have auto-sensing 10 BaseT and Thinnet Ethernet interfaces
and support Frame Relay, Point to Point Protocol, SNMP
and Telnet.
Each product ships with EngageView management software
for Windows 3.x/95, and MacOS. Telnet templates, that
provide for edit and paste configuration of the most common
configurations, are also included.
The Advanced IP*Express-56/T1 integrated
56k and T1/FracT1 DSU/CSUs has a list price of $1,995.--
The Advanced ExpressRouter-56/T1 with a single integrated
T1/FracT1 DSU/CSU has a list price of $2,395.--. These
integrated solutions eliminate the significant costs and
time involved with upgrading from 56k to T1/FT1. The T1/FracT1
DSU/CSU option card has complete T1 support: ESF (AT&T/ANSI)/D4
Framing; B8ZS/AMI Data Format.
