Branch offices

With companies becoming more and more geographically dispersed, network connectivity is increasingly important. Many small to mid-sized branch offices find that the PACESETTER^TM offers an ideal solution for their networking needs, providing a high-speed link to an enterprise network along with Internet access. Offices can use the high-speed connection to ensure connectivity for mission-critical applications.

The PACESETTER Pro and the PACESETTER T1 are both ideal solutions for branch offices. The PACESETTER T1 comes with an integrated intelligent DSU, so you can eliminate additional equipment in your network.

The PACESETTER Pro provides a scaleable solution if you want to start with an ISDN connection and upgrade to a 56 kbps dedicated line, or even to a high-speed T1 or FT1 line. You can bundle the PACESETTER Pro with an ADC Kentrox add/drop DSU, allowing you to share a T1 connection with voice traffic from a PBX as well as data traffic from the office network.

The PACESETTER routers offer security for dial-in access by telecommuters or traveling employees. Because the PACESETTER is compact and simple to set up and configure, it is ideal for tradeshows and presentations that require a network connection.

Within the branch office, the DHCP server feature in the PACESETTER allows automatic assignment of IP addresses for your computers, so when you hire a new employee you don't have to worry about reconfiguring the office LAN.

The PACESETTER is also compatible with the servers you most commonly use in a branch office: NT and Novell.
