ADTRAN NetVanta 6310
Modular IP Business Gateway

Overview:

The NetVanta 6310 and Modular IP Business Gateway is designed for use in integrated IP voice and data service offering to small-tomedium sized businesses, worldwide. This powerful solution combines the robust routing and voice features of ADTRAN's industry-leading Total Access® 900e Series of IP Business Gateways into a modular, multi-function chassis with a variety of network and voice interface modules to enable cost-effective IP-based services over a converged services infrastructure. With this versatile chassis, carriers can offer a variety of services including cost-effective integrated voice and data over an Ethernet-fed Wide Area Network (WAN) or over low overhead bonded EFM e.SHDSL loops and T1 circuits. The dual-slot chassis includes a robust IP router, SIP gateway, integral PRI/PRA T1/E1 for PBX connectivity, and dual 10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces for routing, DMZ, or Ethernet-fed WAN applications. A variety of modules are supported including Quad e.SHDSL EFM Quad T1/E1 EFM WAN modules and the following analog trunk/station voice modules: Quad FXS, Quad FXO, Octal FXS, Octal FXO, and Octal Analog 4FXS/4FXO.

Hardware and System Features

The NetVanta 6310 uses the ADTRAN Operating System (AOS) to provide a stateful inspection firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), DHCP server/client, and feature-rich, standardsbased, IP routing functionality supporting BGP, OSPF, and RIP routing protocols. Inherent Quality of Service (QoS) methods ensure appropriate classification and prioritization of Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic. Using AOS simplifies management and administration through a Command Line Interface (CLI) that mimics the industry de facto standard.

The NetVanta 6310 contains two integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces for data support and Internet access and a PRI interface to support a customer's existing legacy PBX system. In addition to these fixed interfaces, the NetVanta 6310 includes two option slots for WAN connectivity and other local services. The Quad e.SHDSL EFM module will allow the NetVanta 6310 to support WAN speeds up to 20 Mbps. The chassis is ideal for U.S. applications and is also ETSI compliant for global deployments.

SIP Gateway and Voice Functionality

The NetVanta 6310 utilizes Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and/or Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) for VoIP applications, providing interoperability with industry leading softswitches, feature servers, and gateways. The integrated SIP gateway allows the NetVanta 6310 to deliver voice service to IP phones and traditional telephony equipment simultaneously. In order to support a customer's analog phones, fax machines, alarm systems, and modems, the NetVanta 6310 also offers the option of installing either a four-port or eight-port FXS module.

Remote Survivability

The NetVanta 6310 includes a SIP Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) as a SIP-transparent proxy to facilitate remote survivability in the event of a service interruption on the WAN. If connection to the feature server is lost, calls may continue between IP and analog phones on site, or outbound from an FXO POTS line to the PSTN.

Standards-based Routing Protocols

Complementing the versatile hardware, the AOS allows for the support of standards-based switching, Virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging, static and default routes, demand routing, NAT, and DHCP client/server/relay. This enables fast, accurate network convergence using routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and RIP.

Quality of Service and Voice Quality Monitoring (VQM)

QoS is also supported for delay-sensitive traffic. To prioritize mission-critical traffic and control network congestion, the NetVanta 6310 uses Low Latency Queuing, Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Class-based WFQ, DiffServ marking, and Frame Relay Fragmentation.

VQM supports Service Level Agreement (SLA) commitments with real time monitoring of your customer's voice quality. A variety of ease-of-use features and graphical information are available for troubleshooting, rapid firmware updates or configuration upgrades.

Security

The NetVanta 6310 provides a powerful, high performance, stateful inspection firewall that can identify and protect against common Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

Management

The NetVanta 6310 offers a standard CLI that mimics the widely adopted, industry de facto standard, virtually eliminating training costs associated with relearning a new operating system. The CLI also allows for configuration scripts to be used, saved, and downloaded as a quick and easy recovery mechanism. In addition, an intuitive Web-based Graphic User Interface (GUI) provides step-by-step configuration wizards, management capability, and the ability to upload firmware updates. The ability to automatically discover devices, make mass configuration changes or firmware upgrades, backup and restore device configurations, push mass configuration changes, upgrade firmware to groups of devices, and generate inventory reports for asset management is available using ADTRAN's n-Command MSP.
