Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. network management, are targeted at the Network Service Providers (NSPs), Internet and Frame Relay Service Provider (ISPs/FRSPs) communities seeking to increase revenue opportunities through the deployment of high speed access services over DSL -- at a fraction of the cost of traditional private line access services. Last month at ComNet '97, Paradyne's HotWire 5100 system won "Best of Show" and for the Intranet/Internet category in the New Product Achievement Competition -- sponsored by Computerworld. The HotWire 5100 system is the industry's first commercially shipping Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL See DSL. ) product based on Carrierless Amplitude and Phase (CAP) modulation technology and the first SNMP managed RADSL system, transmitting high-speed digital data and analog voice over a single copper wire phone line. Paradyne recently announced the use of HotWire products for two commercial service deployments: CADVision, an ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) that is using HotWire to deploy high speed Internet access. Last month, Network Access Solutions (NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular ), announced deployment of high speed services to ISPs in the Washington D.C. metro area and mid Atlantic region using HotWire. HotWire products are also being used in a number of Internet access and remote LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. access trials in the U.S., Canada and Europe. The HotWire 5100 system delivers impressive 2.56 million bits per second (Mbps) speeds for high-bandwidth, low-cost, business-critical applications such as Internet/Intranet access, full-motion videoconferencing, high-definition graphics, shared white-boarding and dramatically improved data communications. Paradyne's HotWire systems provide standards-based networking protocols on top of DSL technology to "supercharge" networking services. Leveraging a rich history in network management, Paradyne's HotWire 8800 DSLAM uses Paradyne's GUI-based SNMP management applications for HP, SUN and Windows environments providing a simple and easy way to manage very large networks. 9620 Frame Relay Access Unit: Paradyne's 9620 Frame Relay Access Unit won the New Products Achievement Award (Carrier/WAN product category) sponsored by Computerworld for ComNet '97. The 9620 manages the complexities of Frame Relay networks while cutting network costs as much as half. Paradyne's online "savings calculator" (http://www.paradyne.com/frame) estimates potential savings for existing networks. Paradyne's 9620 is the first product of its kind to offer network managers permanent virtual circuit See PVC. (networking) Permanent Virtual Circuit - (PVC, or in ATM terminology, "Permanent Virtual Connection") A virtual circuit that is permanently established, saving the time associated with circuit establishment and tear-down.

The 9620 can optimize 56K access lines, replacing the need for some T1 line upgrades -- and saving an organization approximately $1,000 per month in upgrade costs. An application requiring 128K-256K of bandwidth such as telecommuting and Internet access can now be implemented over 56K circuits using the 9620. The 9620 FRAU is available immediately, and lists for $1,395.00. Paradyne's CSU/DSU Products Paradyne's 7610 DSU is the first of Paradyne's new 7000 series of products. List priced at $695, the 7610 is the industry's best buy, outperforming virtually every DSU in its price range. Initial orders for the product have exceeded projections. With an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) The average time a component works without failure. It is the number of failures divided by the hours under observation. MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures of 36 years and a five-year limited warranty, it is also one of the industry's most reliable SNMP managed DSUs. The 7610 provides a non-disruptive in-band SNMP management channel over a DDS (1) (Digital Data Storage) See DAT. (2) (Data Dictionary System) See QuickBuild and OpenDDS. (3) (Dataphone Digital S leased circuit, as well as SNMP management over Frame Relay via a connection from the 7610 management port to a remote router port or external LAN adapter -- making it versatile in any network architecture. Paradyne introduces the 3162 T1 CSU/DSU -- a competitively priced (list $1,995.00) reliable, SNMP-manageable access solution for T1 networks. The 3162 is Paradyne's latest release in the market-leading 3100 Series of T1 CSU/DSUs. It provides T1 and fractional-T1 access for two data ports plus a drop and insert In a multichannel transmission system, a drop and insert is a process that diverts (drops) a portion of the multiplexed aggregate signal at an intermediate point, and introduces (inserts) a different signal for subsequent transmission in the same position, e.g. port at a price that meets or beats the competition's single-port with drop and insert product pricing. Standards-based and interoperable with any SNMP manager, the 3162 offers a host of NMS See NetWare Management System. connectivity options including: inband; direct to local Network Manager; via local router; daisy chaining; via Ethernet LAN adapter; via Token Ring adapter A network adapter used in a Token Ring network. See network adapter. ; or dial-up via an external modem. For these products, Paradyne offers a GUI SNMP application which runs on HP Openview and NetView AIX.
