As more and more businesses migrate to IP-enabled services, network

performance, security, and quality of service (QoS) are areas of major

concern. Enterprises are looking for innovative solutions that will

enable them to grow in the future while protecting their existing

infrastructures.

The Vanguard 340 series of multi-service IP access routers provides a flexible and modular architecture for small branch offices, allowing them to integrate WAN data and voice services, thereby

reducing their overall networking costs.

The Vanguard 340 series delivers a cost-effective

e-business solution to enterprise customers by supporting

applications such as:

  • Secure Internet, intranet, and extranet access with VPN and IP QoS

  • Multi-service voice, video, and data integration

  • Broadband DSL, cable, and wireless connectivity

  • Inter-VLAN Routing (IEEE 802.1 P&Q)

  • Voice over IP (VoIP) to offer unified messaging and data services

The Vanguard 340 series consists of 2 models: the Vanguard 340E and

Vanguard 342. The Vanguard 340E and Vanguard 342 are both standalone 1U units that include a WAN serial port, and two modular slots that accept a wide array of voice and data daughter cards to support numerous

applications, an auto-sensing 10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet LAN port, a console port for monitoring and configuration, and a software-selectable serial port. Integrated networking services such as DSL, frame relay, ISDN, and leased line technologies offer a flexible choice for connectivity as well as provide investment protection for network changes. The Vanguard 342 includes additional memory plus a second 10/100BaseT Ethernet port that can be used for LAN/WAN Ethernet applications.
