EXCEPTIONAL NETWORK PERFORMANCE
Utilizing high performance RISC based technology, the
AT-AR720 is the ideal unit for high throughput, fast
response applications in the larger branch office or corpo-
rate site. High performance means simultaneous support
for dual PRI links, 100Mbps Ethernet and value added
services such as IPSec VPN and the Paladin Stateful
Inspection Firewall operation.
SIMPLE PLUG-IN UPGRADE
The AT-AR720 base unit consists of a high-performance
RISC processor, one 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet port, and
two asynchronous RS232 ports. With two expansion bays
capable of accepting any mix of six different Port Interface
Cards (PICs), the AT-AR720 offers extensive network sup-
port including multiple ISDN PRI and BRI circuits, Frame
Relay, X.25, G.703/G.704, PSTN, Leased Line and Ethernet
connectivity. Simple, low cost PIC upgrade protects user
investment as network requirements change.
MULTIPROTOCOL ROUTING
• RIP, RIP2 and OSPF provide sophisticated network
routing capabilities.
•  IP, IPX, Appletalk and DECnet routing is supported as
standard, as well as transparent bridging.
• IP Multihoming offers flexible LAN/WAN sub-netting.
•  L2TP enables tunneling of non-IP traffic across low-cost
Internet links e.g IPX.
HIGH SPEED FRAME RELAY NETWORKING
• Multiple IP addresses are supported per Frame Relay
port (logical interfaces) e.g multiple user sessions.
• Full congestion control procedures limit output when
Frame Relay network is busy, avoiding data discard. ’Slow
Start’ mechanism controls initial data transmission into
network.
SECURE
•  Hardware based DES and Triple DES encryption offer
ultra-secure data transmission.
•  Designed to the IETF IPSEC RFC’s.
• Sophisticated Paladin Stateful Inspection Firewall for
iron-clad session and application security.
•  CLI, PAP, CHAP, RADIUS & TACACS user authentica-
tion for maximum network integrity.
•  IP, IPX and Bridge filtering.
HARDWARE DATA COMPRESSION OPTION
•  To maximize data throughput at higher line speeds, an
optional hardware-based STAC LZS compression module is
available, offering up to 8:1 data compression at higher line
speeds where software based compression is less effective.
Traffic Shaping and Quality of Service (QoS)
• Advanced traffic shaping features such as RSVP
(Resource reSerVation Protocol) and BACP (Bandwidth
Allocation Control Protocol) ensure support for future
multimedia applications.
•  Policy Routing allows data to be routed based on traffic
type (e.g WWW versus FTP), type of WAN
link, source/destination etc.
CONFIGURATION AND  MANAGEMENT
•  Full remote management is supported across the LAN
and WAN.
•  The Secure Shell (SSH) package for Windows provides
authenticated and encrypted secure remote management.
SSH clients are available from third parties.
•  SNMP, MIB II and Enterprise MIB are supported.
