Cisco's 2501LF and 2502LF access products come with asingle low-speed serial access port and Cisco's 2520LF and 2521LF accessproducts feature three serial access ports. The2520CF and 2521CF access products come with three serial access ports,while the 2522CF and 2523CF are equipped with nine serial access ports anda single high-speed Frame Relay access port.Ĭisco's LAN FRAD ProductsCisco's new LAN FRAD models provide both serial access and LAN access tothe Frame Relay WAN.

As needs require, users canupgrade these products to 2500 series routers to gain greaterfunctionality.Ĭisco's CFRAD ProductsCisco's new CFRAD products are serial-only Frame Relay access devices.

This profile could be repeated at hundreds of locations.Įach Cisco access product is preconfigured with software that combinesFrame Relay WAN support with a specific set of protocols, enabling users toselect the CFRAD or LAN FRAD product that features the protocols they need.For instance, they can purchase a CFRAD for IBM and asynchronous legacyaccess or a LAN FRAD for IP and IPX routing.

Instead, theyrequire multiple serial connections to be concentrated to a Frame Relaybackbone, which is the new environment optimized for Cisco's CFRAD and LANFRAD products. To meet these needs, branchbanks don't always require the extensive LAN and wide-area network (WAN)support provided by a 2500 series multiprotocol router. Additional tellerconsoles could be connected to an SDLC serial concentrator, and an alarmdevice could be connected asynchronously.

Meeting Branch Banking's Unique NeedsOne of the first environments to fully adopt Frame Relay is branch banking.A remote branch office, for instance, may operate an automatic tellermachine (ATM) using a serial bisynchronous connection.

Rangingfrom a single, low-speed serial access device to a model that combinesmultiple serial access ports with LAN connectivity, this new product familyprovides branch banking and remote office environments that currently don'trequire the full suite of protocols and features of a Cisco 2500 seriesmultiprotocol router with an ideal Frame Relay access alternative.Ĭisco also announced today a new series of integrated, multiprotocolrouters, based on the 2500 series, to meet the next level of routing needsfor branch banking and remote office environments. With today'sintroduction, Cisco now offers solutions to satisfy every price point andfeature requirement, enabling companies to easily migrate from legacysystems to client/server-based LANs - without sacrificing service,manageability or support.'īased on Cisco's award-winning 2500 series of multiprotocol routers,Cisco's new Frame Relay access products are available in serial-only(CFRAD) and serial and local-area network access (LAN FRAD) models. Plus, Cisco has invested tens of millions ofdollars in developing its IBM software feature set, offering moresophisticated support of IBM protocols than any vendor. 'Today, Cisco has more Frame Relay access ports installedthan any other manufacturer. 'Since our earliest days as a co-founder of the Frame Relay Forum, Ciscohas played an important role in advancing the implementation of Frame Relaytechnology,' said Kevin Kennedy, division director in the company's AccessBusiness Unit. Plus, by combining Cisco's Frame Relay access and routertechnology, user sites experience a tighter level of integration than ispossible with a mixture of third-party products. Softwarethat is used to manage the company's full-featuredCisco routers, so that network managers can leverage existing Ciscoexpertise. In addition, Cisco's new Frame Relay access products are managed by thesame No dedicated Frame RelayAccess Device (FRAD) device currently on the market offers this level ofscalability, investment protection or built-in migration path towardsclient/server computing.

Unlike competing devices, Cisco's Frame Relay access products offer users abuilt-in migration path through the Cisco Internetwork Operating System(Cisco IOS(tm)) software, enabling users to easily upgrade to the fullfunctionality of a Cisco 2500series router. SAN JOSE, Calif., Decem- Cisco Systems, Inc., the leadingglobal supplier of internetworking solutions, today solidified itsleadership position in the evolving Frame Relay access market byintroducing a suite of Frame Relay access products.This family offers the most sophisticated protocol support forinternetworking legacy and client/server environments over Frame Relay.
