MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

 2-3

In this sample network, a telecommuter in a home office uses a Pipeline 25 and Frame Relay to 
log in to the corporate LAN. Users on a remote office LAN access the backbone through a 
Pipeline 400 with a Switched-56 connection. A customer can access selected corporate 
network resources by means of a Pipeline 50 with an ISDN BRI connection. A mobile user 
with an analog modem can dial in to the backbone, provided that the MAX has a digital 
modem card installed.

Notice that each user can access the MAX through a different type of line. While one user 
might access the MAX by using the switched services on an ISDN BRI or Switched-56 line, 
another might require a nailed 56K Frame Relay circuit. 

Before you configure the MAX, you should create a network diagram. Configuration tasks 
generally consist of:

•

Configuring the lines, channels, and ports, and how calls are routed between them

•

Configuring Wide Area Network (WAN) connections and security

•

Configuring the MAX as a Frame Relay or X.25 concentrator

•

Configuring routing and bridging across the WAN

•

Configuring Internet services, such as multicast, OSPF, and Virtual Private Networks 
(VPNs)
