Nomus Gateway e RB
Router, Bridge and Converter
Nomus Gateway e RB Router Bridge is a very cost-effective and flexible way to connect your LAN to the Internet, HQ or Branch Offices. It integrates the functions of Bridge/Router with the WAN device. A choice of WAN Interfaces such as xDSL modems, E1 and V.35 Interfaces are supported. It can be ordered as 1 WAN or a 2 WAN device. The 2 WAN device can be used to connect to different remote locations from a central location. It also offers MLPPP for bundling of both WANs for a higher Bandwidth.
The Gateway e RB supports either an Ethernet Bridge mode or an IP Router mode. In the Bridged mode, packet filtering and forwarding is based on the Ethernet MAC address and a Self-Learning algorithm. This allows all Ethernet based protocols to be supported. No sub-netting of LANs need be done. Alternately, the IP-Router allows LANs in different sub-nets to be connected using IP based filtering and forwarding.
Management of the Gateway e RB can be through an Serial console, HTTP or built-in SNMP agent. Diagnostics can be performed using FP Switches & LEDs.
The Gateway e RB is offered in the following flavours for connecting the LAN segments over a variety of networks:
- Gateway e RB/V.35: Equipped with a Single V.35/RS530 Synchronous serial port to connect to an external xDSL/MLLN modem for a max. of 2.3 Mbps
- Gateway e RB/E1: Equipped with 1 or 2 G.703/E1 ports for a max. 2 or 4 Mbps (nx64Kbps) to allow connection to the PCM Network directly without the need for any interface converter
- Gateway e RB/2M: Equipped with 1 or 2 G.SHDSL ports for a max. of 2.3 or 4.6 Mbps (nx64Kbps) for a distance of up to 6 Km (2Mbps on single port) or even further at lower speeds
