HiPath HG 1500

Multimedia Communication in Medium-Size Companies

HiPath HG 1500 is the economical communication solution for companies with a medium volume of data traffic. HiPath HG 1500 transforms the Hicom 150 H communication system into a communication server in the LAN. HiPath HG 1500 permits the direct connection of Ethernet LANs (10/100 Mbit/ s) to Hicom 150 H OfficePro, OfficeCom, OfficePoint and OfficePoint C. This makes voice, fax and data communication possible via the ISDN carrier network from any PC networked via the LAN. HiPath HG 1500 includes an H.323 gateway which supports standardized voice communication over IP networks (Voice-over-IP). The Hicom 150 H Communication Server thus forms the interface to the companys Ethernet LAN, allowing communication solutions and applications with multistation capability to be implemented with Hicom 150 H:

optiClient 130 with optiset E functions LAN-LAN Link via ISDN Remote LAN Access / Teleworking Access to the Internet Telematic Services such as fax transmission and Eurofile Transfer Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) via TAPI and CAPI It can be incorporated in a standardized network management system with SNMP , i.e. administration, alarm and performance management in a central management platform. A simple expansion capability in stages of 2 B-channels and soft migration to multifunctionality of the individual workstations protect investments.

Depending on the required bandwidth, HiPath HG 1500 makes flexible use of the ISDN lines and LCR intelligence of the Hicom system for voice, fax and data communication. No external routers, no additional servers or ISDN PC cards are required for LAN PCs because the router functionality, firewall functions and security are already integrated in HiPath HG 1500.

The routing functions

Voice-over-IP
In addition to data and fax communication, optiClient 130 supports communication with any type of telephone, including standard H.323 clients and even remote optiClient 130 systems.
G

Enhanced functions like on a system telephone. Support for standard H.323 clients with basic functions. Parallel support of application sharing. Use of the same internal station numbers regardless of current location.

Use of individual access rights and parameters, such as those for key programming. Access to the corporate LAN from remote workstations with only one B-channel for voice, fax, and data. Connection of optiset E telephones to the Ethernet LAN via the optiPoint IPadapter. Networking of Hicom systems via IP with CorNet features.

Integration into the Microsoft NT environment with a modern, professional user interface.

The routing functions

LAN-LAN Link
The LAN-LAN Link turns Ethernet LANs at several locations into a single corporate network, using ISDN dial-up lines. This makes it possible for outside locations to access central files or files at other locations, and thereby meets the demand for an interactive combination of working procedures in organizational units at different locations.

Remote LAN Access


By linking PCs that are installed outside the corporate LAN, it is possible to enable an authorized group of people to access central DP applications and information sources from outside. This means that the home workstation will have access to the same LAN services as the PCs connected to the corporate LAN (data, e-mail, PC programs).

Internet Access
In addition to the LAN-LAN Link, Internet routing can offer the following features:
G

Dynamic reference of the IP address from the Internet provider Access to the Internet using just one IP address of the Internet provider, i.e. cost-effective solution for all PCs in the network Dynamic or static channel bundling (load-based B-channel switching)

Dynamic Channel Bundling


In the case of a LAN-LAN Link via HiPath HG 1500, up to 8 or 16 B-channels are automatically bundled depending on the transmission volume and the application packages implemented. The threshold values for dynamic channel bundling can be set. The number of B-channels can be configured for each routing partner.

The Internet provider must also support the features.

The main functions

Software applications

Point-to-Point Protocol
The PPP protocol represents a data connection protocol that makes it possible to transmit data packets (IP and IPX) over ISDN lines. This protocol provides more than just a simple connection between two host computers. On its own, however, it does not support channel bundling.

Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)


The CTI software Smartset for ISDN is a single-terminal license (per PC) and supports the direct setup of outgoing and incoming connections via a LAN. This multistation solution can be implemented with analog and digital terminals, i.e. it is an adapter and serverindependent solution. Other features are:
G G

Telematic Services
Access to Telematic Services is provided via, for example, the Fritz!32 telematic software. This ensures a single-terminal license (per PC) for transmitting fax reports and files.
G G G G

Group 3 fax up to 14,400 bit/s Fax on Demand in receive direction ISDN file transfer Short Message Service

Point-to-Point Multi-Link Protocol


The PPP Multi-Link Protocol makes it possible to subdivide, combine, and order in sequence data packets over several data connections. This protocol has been designed to make it possible to use several parallel slow connections together in order to improve the performance and elasticity of the connection between two systems (combination of a series of 64 kbit ISDN channels, i.e. channel bundling).

Dialing from the telephone directory Caller identification, using the telephone directory entry Evaluating incoming directory numbers (e. g. ISDN, mobile call number, directory number of the terminals) Caller list Still to be called list Private and business telephone directory Connection of databases via TAPI or DDE open interfaces

G G G

Authentication Protocol
The PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and MS CHAP (Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) have been developed to meet the increasing demand for security in data networks. If an external connection (WAN) is set up via HiPath HG 1500, the PAP/MS CHAP procedures can be used to authenticate the subscriber.

Access Control
An Access Control (firewall) prevents unauthorized persons from accessing the corporate LAN. The firewall mechanisms are:
G G

ISDN call number checking Automatic callback without setting up an ISDN toll call Checking the IP or IPX addressing MAC firewall (checking the MAC / IP address in the internal LAN) Port filtering Enabling and disabling services according to IP addresses

Cost Saving and Controlling


The integration of router functionality in the Hicom system and the simultaneous use of fax and CTI application software via HiPath HG 1500 offers significant cost advantages for the company:

Administration
The administration program can be used directly via the LAN to customize all important functions, e.g. directory number and IP addresses of external partners, timer settings and the required security mechanisms.

HiPath HG 1500 automatically re-establishes the connection when there are new data packets to be transmitted.
