Introduction to NetWare MultiProtocol Router for ISDN 3.1 39

The NetWare MultiProtocol Router for ISDN is dedicated to ISDN

and provides extensive ISDN support and features. To extend

routing capabilities beyond ISDN, it can also be combined with

Novell´s WAN·Extensions 3.1 product, offering X.25, Frame Relay

and ATM support, or with Novell´s SNA·Extensions 3.1 product,

offering DLSw and multiprotocol routing across SNA backbones.

Communications and Host Connectivity Software

Routing Extension

Since the NetWare MultiProtocol Router for ISDN can also be in-

stalled on a NetWare file server, it can run along with file and print

services as well as with other services, such as Novell´s NetWare for

SAA software for example, if client-to-host connectivity is required,

or AVM´s NetWare Connect for ISDN software and one or more

additional ISDN-Controllers, if access to remote services and re-

sources from clients in or outside the LAN is required.

ISDN Management Software

The NetWare MultiProtocol Router for ISDN itself provides access to

extensive ISDN-specific information on the use of ISDN links, ISDN-

Controllers, the ISDN network itself over various NetWare-based

utilities as well as over any SNMP-based network management

consoles. For integrated management of all ISDN activities of the

NetWare MultiProtocol Router for ISDN under Novell´s Network

Management Software

(NMS) or the joint Novell/Intel product

ManageWise

, AVM´s MPR for ISDN Router Manager software can

be used. In this case, the NetWare MultiProtocol Router for ISDN

software is extended by the Router Agent software, and the ISDN

management console, a so-called snap-in module, is added to the

network management console software installed on a client in the

LAN.
