  handle some of the data traffic from a congested primary
  port. Once the traffic drops below a configured
  threshold, the secondary port goes down and the primary
    takes all the traffic.
4.96 DCC SIMM The DCC SIMM feature enhances Frame Data
  Compressor functionality by expanding the previously
  supported 15 data compression channels (active virtual
  circuits) to up to 75 channels without the SAK option
  enabled and up to 508 channels with the SAK option.
  This version is generally used to support a central site.
  The actual number of DC channels supported is a
  configurable value. Network Access Product nodes, with
  the exception of Vanguard 310, provide a motherboard
  socket for upgrading from the previously offered DC
    DSP SIMM.
4.97 Multilink PPP Multilink PPP, which is defined by RFC1717, allows
  application data to be delivered to remote nodes by more
  than one link. This feature uses segmentation and
  reassembly to share the load over several member
    Multilink PPP links.
4.97 Vanguard 310 Series The Vanguard 310 Series product introduces the Vanguard
  312 PLUS ISDN PAD with POTS (Plain Old Telephone

  with the capability to bridge non-routable protocols, such as
    Netbieu, between a Token Ring and an Ethernet network.
4.98 Enhanced SPX Spoofing Spoofs SPX Keep Alive packets for all registered SPX
  connections on the network interface, with the ability to detect
  an inactive spx session and perform a reset. This allows new
  connections to be established without delay, while ensuring
    spoofing is not performed for a node that is not operational.
4.98 IPX/IP Spoofing over PPP This feature allows use of RIP for a PPP/MLPPP WAN
    interface without incurring unnecessary connection charges.
4.98 Voice/Colisee Support These features have been added to Voice Relay:
   Code Colisee: a variation of Wink Start Protocol
   Seizure Acknowledgment: a variation of Delay Start Protocol
   Echo canceller Control: allows you to disable Echo Canceller
   DTMF Digit Level Control
   Voice Diagnostic Test Enhancement
  For detailed information on these features, refer to the Network Access Products
    Voice Relay Option (Part No. T0023).
4.98 TPA 2K Frame Size This feature avoids segmenting of data packets by allowing
  you to set up the PAD node for uninterrupted delivery of data
  packets of up to 2K in size. During normal operation of the
  Transparent Polled Async (TPA) option, data packets pass
  through a network uninterrupted. However, when passing
  larger TPA packets over a network without this feature, the
    transfer of data becomes bursty and segmenting of data packets occurs.
4.98 X.25 Virtual Circuit Increase You can now configure up to 4096 SVC channels per port.
4.98 Configurable Mac Address For SLAC Stations The Internal MAC Address parameter on the LLC-SDLC
  Station Record lets you configure multiple MAC addresses for
    conversion stations where LLC2 multiplexing has a limitation.
4.98 Data Connection Protection for SLAC SDLC now supports Data Connection Protection for SLAC
  and Enhanced XID Stats and Enhanced XID Statistics.
4.98 ALC Support on 650D Airline Control Protocol (ALC) support is now available on 650 products
4.98 Static Routing The Static Route IPX feature enables IPX to work efficiently
  over dialed links. This feature minimizes and eliminates RIP
  and SAP overhead traffic on switched or permanent WAN
  connections, thereby conserving bandwidth for other uses.
  RIP and SAP messages can be turned off for On Demand SVC
  WAN links, allowing calls to be disconnected when there is no
    other user data to transmit.
4.98 TBOP 16K Frame Increase The TBOP Option has a new parameter, Maximum Frame
    Size, that allows frame sizes up to 16 kbytes.
4.98 APAD Enhancement 6520 branch nodes, support the MNEN Violation, and X.28
  Clear/Service Message Table features.
     
4.99 Vanguard 100 Voice With Release 4.99, Vanguard 100 can now be used to transmit
  voice traffic. Release 4.99 changes the manner in which you
  configure the Voice Switching Table.
     
5.00 Channelized T1/ E1 The Channelized Data option provides an alternative to using
  Serial Data Boards (SDB) to concentrate data traffic from
    remote nodes attached to the 6560 through a multiplexer.
5.00 6560 Primary Rate Interface With this release, PISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) is
  available on the 6560. PRI connections allows simultaneous
    setup of several calls over packet switched and ISDN networks.
5.00 BSTD station increase The Burroughs Standard (BSTD) Poll/Select protocol has been
  modified to allow for more configurable station. The range for
  the Port Record parameter Number of Devices has increased
    from 32 to 128.
5.00 Variable Length Phone Numbers With Release 5.0, Voice Relay supports phone numbers that
  contain more than 11 digits. When the 11th digit is dialed, the
  switch begins to route the call, but it simultaneously waits for
  any additional digits that may be dialed. Additional digits are
  added to the end of the phone number and are used to complete
    the call.
5.00 GSC SNMP Support SNMP support is now available for the GSC and ALC
5.00 6560 Protocol Support These protocols are now supported on the 6560:
   ALC: Refer to the ALC Option
   GSC: Refer to the GSC Option

5.00 TCOP SLC/AC100 Transparent Character Oriented Protocol (TCOP) can now
    support SLC and AC100 message formats.
5.00 Smart Line Controller Protocol The SLC Premise Protocol (SPP) is now available with
  Network Access products, This protocol allows the SLC to
  communicate with a terminal adapter over an ISDN line using
    the D-Channel X.25 packet-switched data service.
5.00 IP Broadcast Forwarding IP Broadcast Forwarding: IP Broadcast Forwarding supports
  forwarding of local and network broadcast packets from local
  to remote LANs. You can configure both the local LAN IP
  broadcast addresses and IP address of destination LANs. It
  selects the broadcast by local/net IP address and forwards it to
    the destinations selected. It can forward all local broadcasts.
5.00 IPX Parallel SVCs Parallel SVC feature, also known as Bandwidth on Demand
  (BoD, refers to the ability to activate additional incremental
  Wide Area Bandwidth for IPX traffic, on a packet-by-packet
  basis, when congestion thresholds are exceeded on the primary
  SVC. This incremental bandwidth can be:
   Additional X.25 SVCs on the same or a different physical port
   An external dial modem, ISDN-terminal adapter, or
    Switched-56 device connected to a different physical port
5.00 X25 D-Bit Network Access Products can now use D-bit to acknowledge
  and request acknowledgement from remote nodes. In addition,
  with this release you can configure you network Access device
    to set D-bit on transmitted data.
5.00 UDP Broadcast Forwarding UDP Broadcast Forwarding: The UDP (User Datagram
  Protocol) Broadcast Forwarding feature supports forwarding of
  local and network broadcasts from local to remote LANs. The
  local and network broadcast packets from selected UDP ports
  are forwarded to selected destinations. You can configure the
  local LAN UDP port number and IP address of destination
  LANs. This feature selects the broadcast by UDP port number
  and forwards it to selected destinations. Not all broadcasts are
    forwarded to all the destinations or selected destinations.
5.00 TPDU Router and Adapter The Transport Protocol Data Unit (TPDU) protocol is now
  available for Vanguard and 65xx Network Access Products.
  TPDU consists of two software components:
   Router: these contend with routing TPDU data packets
  from serial access devices to an adapter,
   Adapter: these typically act as gateways between the
  TPDU protocol connection to the host and the native
    transport protocols used by the access devices.
5.00 CTP Access Level A new CTP Access password level is available: UserPlus
  Password. This password lets you perform all the standard
  operations available with the User Password, plus you can
  examine node parameter settings and statistics and change
  some aspects of control operations. This feature requires a
    Customer Software Key (CSK).
5.00 Vanguard Voice Relay Voice Relay is now supported on the Vanguard 100, 300/305, and 320
5.00 Vanguard 320 Release 5.0 announces the first availability of the Vanguard 320
  serial/LAN devices with access to public or private networks,
  from a desktop-size standalone enclosure. The Vanguard 320 is
  available in these configurations:
   Serial FRAD
   Voice FRAD
     Serial ISDN Access
5.00 650D Support Release 5.0 supports these features for the 650D:
   Multiple CMEM
     S/T Version
5.00 New 6560 and Vanguard 320 Port Parameter, Clocking For 6560 and Vanguard 320 devices, the Frame Relay and
  X.25 Port Record parameter Clock Source has two addition
  settings: EXTINT and EXTLP. These settings are required in
  synchronous ports where the Motorola MC68360
  communication controller is used (for connecting high speed
    ports back-to-back).
5.10 TBOP Video Support To support the transmission of video conferencing applications,
  TBOP ports now have the Constant Bit Rate option (CBR). In
  a CBR application, TBOP does not signal that it is congested
  because the source of the traffic must always be transmitted at a
  constant rate. When the transmission queue is full, it is simply
    purged, so the video stream can continue.
5.10 PPP Features  MLPPP BRI/PRI
  The 6520 (branch node) can run Multi-Link Point-to-Point
  protocol links over BRI or PRI interfaces. The
  CTP menu now offers BRI Configuration Channel (for
  BRI ports) and Virtual Port (for PRI ports).
   Bridge Control Protocol
  Network Access Products can be configured to act as
    transparent bridges over PPP.
5.10 TPDU The Transaction Protocol Data Unit (TPDU) is a connection-less,
  packet-based protocol designed for transaction-oriented
  applications. It provides an efficient means of concentrating a
  large number of access devices onto one or more host
  connections with a maximum of 512 connections per node.
  The TPDU option is available for all Vanguard and 65xx
  Network Access Products. TPDU consists of router software
  and several protocol adapters, including: BSC3270/DSP,
  SDLC/QLLC (includes PU2/LU0 support), X.25, TCP, UDP,
    FRA, and BSC2780.
5.10 Router Proxy This feature provides hot backup LAN support to maintain
  network connectivity in the event of a LAN connection going
  down. The Router Proxy allows one router (the backup) to
  accept packets with the MAC address of another router when
  the network connection at the original router is severed.
  Whichever router is currently being used to pass data is called
  the Active Router. When a the network connection is
  established again, the active state is returned to the first router
    which continues operating as before the connection went down.
5.10 Integral Ethernet Port With Release 5.1, the 6560 Ethernet Port 4 on the motherboard
    is now available. However, the port does not support Bridging or SLAC
5.10 Q.SIG With Release 5.1 Voice Relay supports the Q.SIG variation of
  the Common Channel Signaling (CCS). This extends voice
  signalling beyond Channel Associated Signalling (CAS).
  Unlike CAS, where signalling is imbedded in each channel,
    Q.SIG allows signalling to be passed over the D-Channel.
5.10 Frame Relay Over ISDN With Release 5.1, the Frame Relay DTE Interface (FRI) in
  6560 and 6520 is extended over ISDN. This release allows the
  Frame Relay DTE Interface to be configured as a Frame Relay
  virtual port for running over ISDN. It provides two types of
  connectivity over ISDN:
   Semi-Permanent: The ISDN connection is established
  during power-up or port/station boot or port/station
  enable, if any of its station is active. A station is consid-ered
  active if it is enabled and has a PVC. The estab-lished
  ISDN connection is maintained (re-established in
  case of failures) as long as one of its stations is active.
   Dial-On-Demand: The ISDN connection is established
  based on SVC request when there are no active stations.
  The ISDN connection is dropped when all the SVCs are
    cleared.
5.10 TBOP CCS TBOP CCS provides support for variations of CCS (other than
  Q.SIG). Signalling information is transparently carried by
    Voice Relay using TBOP as the transport protocol.
5.10 RIP 2 Motorola’s implementation of RIP Version 2 is based on RFC
    1721. RIP Version 2 resolves some problems presented by RIP
  Version 1 such as no support for Variable Length Subnet Masks
  (VLSM), no support for non-contiguous subnets, no password
  authentication, and difficulty selecting the best route.
  RIP Version 2 shares the same basic functionality of RIP
  Version 1, it resolves some of the problems of the earlier
  version by providing the following enhancements:
   Support for Variable Length subnet masks
   Support for non-contiguous subnets
   Password authentication
   Next hop
     IP address multicasting
5.10 Protocol Priority This feature provides prioritization of various protocols within
  IP and IPX. IP prioritization is configurable and is based on
  protocol number, destination port number, and destination IP
  address and/or subnet. IPX prioritization is configurable and is
  based on packet type, destination socket number, destination
  network, and destination node. Prioritization is activated when
  packets are queued to the WAN adapter or Frame Relay bypass
  station.
  The Protocol Priority feature is supported on all platforms
  operating under Network Services. It supports both Single and
  Group LCONs, as well as parallel SVCs (Bandwidth on
    Demand).
5.10 SNTP Network Access Products now support Simple Network Time
  Protocol (SNTP). This client/server utility enables a node to
  synchronize its time and date with other nodes or servers that
    are running SNTP or NTP (Network Time Protocol)
5.10 IPX Features:  NetWare 4.1 Compliance
  Network Access Products now block Get General Server
  Requests and Get Nearest Server requests across the net-work.
   IPX Fiserv
  This feature provides two additional parameters in the
  IPX Parameters record that allow the user to configure a
  node to override learned (RIP) routes with static ones
  and to enable and disable the advertisement of a static
  route.
   IPX Default Route Advertisement
  This feature provides three additional parameters in the
  IPX Interfaces that enable and disable advertisement of a
    default route.
5.10 Burroughs Poll Select  EIA Control status bar in statistics screen
  The statistic for Burroughs Poll Select ports delivers a
  status summary on EIA interface.
   BSTD 3-digit
  This feature represents a new option for the parameter
  Transmissions number in the port record. Network
  Access Products can use the ModuloAuto numbering
  scheme in order to synchronize messages.
   Fast select on TPAD
  When a BSTD port is used as an HPAD, it can now sup-port
  Fast Select. You can configure an HPAD for Fast
  Select in the parameter Port Options in the port record.
  In previous releases, the Fast Select was sent from Host
  to HPAD, then the TPAD would sent the information
  contained in the Fast Select as a Text Frame using a
  Select procedure.
   DCD toggling with ASYNC
  This feature is an option under the new parameter EIA
  Control in the port record. (EIA Control is only available
  when ASYNC operation is selected in the parameter
  Data Form.)
   Half-duplex with ASYNC
  Network Access Products can use half duplex transmis-sion
  with both synchronous and asynchronous modes of
  operation.
   Extended Group Poll Response
  The TPAD Group Poll procedure allows a device to
  respond with a text message using an address which is
  not configured in a BSTD station record. This capability
    is unique to TPAD Group Poll.
5.10 X.25 Enhancements  With Release 5.1, the X.25 port checks incoming and
  outgoing call setup and clear packets to ensure that:
  the facility codes in the packet are valid. If not, the
  call is cleared with cause code 0, diagnostic code 65
  (Facility/Registration code not allowed).
  - the facility code is allowed in this packet type. If not,
  the call is cleared with cause code 0, diagnostic code
  65 (Facility/Registration code not allowed).
   With Release 5.1, the X.25 port checks that the value of
  the Q bit does not change within an M bit sequence of
  packets (that is, a sequence of packets with the M bit set
  to 1 in all except the last packet). If a changing Q bit is
  encountered, the X.25 port sends a Reset packet both
  ways (on the link and to the adjacent channel on the
  node) with cause code 0 (DTE originated), diagnostic
  code 83 (Inconsistent Q bit setting).
   X.25 Call Redirection
  X.25 calls can be redirected if the host is busy or dis-abled.
  This feature includes the ability to designate sev-eral
  alternate routes. In Vanguard products, you can
  configure 6 redirection tables. You can configure 12 redi-rection
  tables for the 6520/ 6560.
   CUGIA
  When parameter Call Subscription Facility is set to
  CUGIA, a CUG port can accept incoming calls from
  other user groups.
   Billing Enhancements
  You can now disable the generation of Billing Records
  on PAD and X.25 ports at the Called End. This feature is
  CSK controlled.
   Call Rerouting
  You can now suppress Call Rerouting and clear incom-ing
  calls back to the originator. This feature is CSK con-trolled.
  The Suppression of Call Rerouting CSK only
    affects ports that are configured as Access Ports.
5.10 BSC3270 Enhancements New parameters have been added to the BSC3270 protocol.
  These include:
   Poll List Timer: Specifies the polling time interval, in
  increments of 50 milliseconds, that will occur between
  polled devices. The value must be greater than the value
  entered for the Poll Frequency Period
   Slow Poll: Specifies that the BSC3270 TPAD send the
  Poll to the device service timer when the SVC is not
  established. This is effective only when the CESS port
    option is configured and requires a CSK to operate.
5.10 Reduced Autospeed Intercharacter Delay When using a dialup modem, in conjunction with a POS
  terminal or PC, to send an Autobaud Sequence, problems may
  occur if the inter-character delay applied to that sequence is less
  than 180 msec. To overcome this, you must enter a CSK
  (5ERWXW2F76XHLTTUUZC3) to reduce the inter-character
  processing time to 100 msec.
  Reducing the autospeed inter-character delay also has the effect
    of increasing the minimum supported autospeed to 300 bps.
5.10 French POS Support is now available for French POS card swipe equipment
    through the Terminal Control parameter on the PAD port.
5.10 Queued Packets for ARP Whenever an ARP Response message is received:
   The station that sees its IP address in the ARP packet
  responds with its MAC address.
   The ARP Cache table is updated with the learned infor-mation
  so that the ARP procedure does not have to be
  repeated if another packet arrives for the same IP
  address.
   The IP packet is sent to the destination address.
  If the ARP Response message is not received, a second ARP
  request is launched to the network with a broadcast address. If
  an ARP Response is not received by for the second time, the
    queued packet is dropped.
5.10 ASCII Support for BSC2780 Use of the ASCII code set is now supported in Terminal/Printer
    devices on a BSC2780 port
5.10 ISDN DIM The SDB card now supports the ISDN DIM. Used with X.25,
  Frame Relay, and Frame Relay Access, these DIMs allow the
  6520 and 6560 to send and receive I.430 data. The SDB can
    support two ISDN DIMs, one for each port.
5.10 BRI ISDN Enhancements  Caller Line ID (CLID)
  This feature identifies the phone number and/or name to
  be displayed on a call display unit. This feature is only
  available in North America and is supported only when
  the Call Display feature is subscribed to by the both par-ties.
   Quick SPID
  This feature allows remote configuration of POTS
  equipped devices by using a touch tone telephone hand-set
  (DTMF tones) to enter the SPID.
   Call Holding
  If a port sends an X.25 Call Request to a virtual port on
  BRI line, the call is held in the Switch Service table until
  the BRI line is setup. Once the BRI line is setup, the call
  is forwarded to the Called Address.
   Dynamic Routing
  Dynamic Routing allows a pool of B-channels to be
  routed dynamically based on the Called X.25 addresses.
  That is, a call with any X.25 address can be routed to any
  B-channel, provided the channel is free. A channel is
  dedicated to a X.25 Called Address as long as the call is
  in place. Once the call is disconnected, the B-channel
  goes back to pool.
   Dynamic DTE/DCE Assignment
  With this feature, nodes on the network are automati-cally
  assigned DTE and DCE status. When the ISDN
  connection is established originating node is assigned as
  the status of DTE and the receiving node is assigned the
    status of DCE.
5.10 Local Termination (LT) Autolearn Local Termination (LT) Autolearn reduces the amount of
  configuration you need to do by letting you spoof remote
  sessions without configuring a MAC address and a Service
  Access Point (SAP) for each station running a session to the
    host Front End Processor (FEP).
5.10 SLAC Autolearn With Release 5.1 SDLC to LLC Conversion stations
  automatically learn the MAC addresses of remote physical
  units (PUs). This means all local and remote PUs attached to a
  65xx/Vanguard over Ethernet or Token Ring LAN are
  automatically recognized by the node without any manual
  configuration on your part. This means you can install or
  remove PUs from your network without any configuration at
    the central site 65xx/Vanguard.
5.10 IP Multicast Motorola’s implementation of IP Multicasting provides
  efficient multipoint delivery of IP datagrams to hosts across
  local and remote Frame Relay and X.25 networks using less
  bandwidth and network resources than unicasting or
  broadcasting.
  IP Multicasting uses a multicast address and a spanning tree
  approach to connect the source host with destination hosts in a
  multicast group. This means you can use a multicast address to
  send an IP datagram to any number of hosts across different
  networks as long as they are part of the multicast group.
  Membership in an IP Multicast group is dynamic, meaning a
  host can join or leave a multicast group at any time. And, hosts
  can be members of more than one group. Membership in a
  multicast group determines whether or not a host receives a
  copy of datagrams sent to a multicast address. However, a host
  can send datagrams to a multicast group without being a
    member.
5.10 Frame Relay Enhancements Several new feature enhancements have been added to Release
  5.1. These include:
   Maximum Link Utilization, which identifies when the
  largest amount of outbound Frame Relay traffic is han-dled.
  This enhancement allows you to configure the
  period of time that is sampled.
   Total Time In Congestion, which identifies the total time
  (in seconds) that a Frame Relay station is in the con-gested
    mode of operation.
5.10 Switched Services Table Enhancements More Switched Service Entries
  The Maximum Number of Switched Service Entries
  parameters is added to the Node Record. The maximum
  number has been increased from 200 to 1024.
   Redundant Backup
  Each Switched Service table has 4 monitor ports. Moni-tor
  port usage can now be prioritized as primary or sec-ondary.
  (You must enter the Redundant Backup CSK to
  enable this feature.) In addition, you can configure the
  backup port to activate only when all monitor ports have
  failed.
   Multi Dial Sequence
  Each Backup port now has 4 dial sequences. The port
  retries the dial sequence list as many time as the maxi-mum
    retry specifies.
5.10 Unnumbered IP Traditionally, Motorola’s implementation of an IP router
  subsystem provides each network interface of the router with
  its own IP address. This can result in inefficient use of scarce IP
  address space since it forces allocation of an IP network prefix
  to every point-to-point link. The Unnumbered IP feature solves
  this problem by allowing unnumbered point-to-point serial
  links where there is no third node to be individually addressed.
  An unnumbered point-to-point link does not have any network
  prefix associated with it. Consequently, network interfaces
  connected to an unnumbered point-to-point link do not have IP
  addresses. Any interface with 0.0.0.0 as its IP address is an
    unnumbered interface.
5.10 UDP/IP Broadcast Forwarding The UDP (User Datagram Protocol) Broadcast Forwarding
  feature supports forwarding of local and network broadcasts
  from local to remote LANs. The local and network broadcasts
  from selected UDP ports are forwarded to selected destinations.
  You can configure the local LAN UDP port number and IP
  address of destination LANs. This feature selects the broadcast
  by UDP port number and forwards it to selected destinations.
  Not all broadcasts are forwarded to all the destinations or
  selected destinations. UDP Broadcast Forwarding works for all
  local broadcasts (FF.FF.FF.FF).
  IP Broadcast Forwarding supports forwarding of local and
  network broadcast packets from one local LAN to remote
  LANs. You can configure both the local LAN IP broadcast
  addresses and IP address of destination LANs. It selects the
  broadcast by local/net IP address and forwards it to the
  destinations selected. It can forward all local broadcasts.
  The feature allows you to use either UDP Broadcast
  Forwarding or IP Broadcast Forwarding, both simultaneously,
  or with no forwarding. You can enable/disable this feature
    through the IP Router Configuration Record
5.10 GTech Enhancements  Call Staggering
  The Autocall Retry Timer can now be configured to start
  an autosequence after boot. With this functionality, GSC
  ports can be configured to stagger auto sequences to
  avoid flooding the network after a boot sequence.
   Wake-up Timer
  HPAD ports can be configured to “go to sleep”. When an
  HPAD has finished an autocall sequence, it will shut
  down until the Wake-Up Timer parameter tells it to start
  another autocall sequence.
5.1M APAD Enhancement An APAD Port Parameter Terminal Control is set to
  FRCB, two new parameters are available— Active Line
  Message and Delay for Active Line Message. When set,
  these parameters allow a message to be sent when a line
    is active.
5.1M BSC3270 Enhancements Two BSC3270 enhancements are available with this
  release:
  • Copying configurations from one device to many
  others
  • Enabling/Disabling BSC3270 devices without
    performing a Port Boot.
5.1M CCS Bypass With the new feature, CCS Bypass, a 6560/6520 can
  receive an ISDN/QSIG voice call on one T1/E1 port and
  switch it out the other T1/E1 port. While Voice Relay
  allows PBX calls to be sent to a remote PBX via a Frame
  Relay network, CCS Bypass expands this capability so
    voice calls be sent across an ISDN public network.
5.1M LAN IPX Filtering Release 5.1M IPX includes enhancements to the IPX
  Static Routing feature. The enhancements determine how
  static routing information is maintained when
  dynamically learned routes are available. The Static
  Routing features include:
  • IPX Static Route Relearning - When a link associated
  with a static route fails, it is replaced with a
  dynamically learned route advertised from a
  neighboring router. When the failed link comes back
  up, it is not replaced in the routing table, even though
  it is a lower cost path. Static Route Relearning refers
  to options for maintaining the static route.
  • IPX Static Route Override Control - This feature
  allows you to configure whether static routes remain
  in the routing table or are overwritten by learned
  (better cost) IPX RIP routes.
  • IPX Static Route Advertisement Control - When
  broadcasting information from the routing table, this
  feature lets you configure whether static routes are
  included in advertisements. If you disable the
  parameter, information about any of the static route
  entries in the routing table are not advertised during
    routing information broadcasts.
5.1M Maximum Number of DSDs The upper range for the parameter Max number of DSDs
    has been increased from 16 to 100.
5.1M Node and X.25 Port Statistics Enhancements Release 5.1M introduces enhancements to Node and
  X.25 port statistics. The new statistics enable
  timestamping for maximum, peak usage for such
  categories as:
  • Inbound and outbound call statistics
  • Buffer statistics
  • Port utilization
  • CPU utilization
  Timestamping these statistics allows for detailed analysis
    of peak usage periods and performance.
5.1M Periodic SVC Billing The periodic SVC feature generates, at regular intervals,
  Billing records for X.25 SVC calls which occasionally
    go on for long periods of time.
5.1M Pulse Dialing Voice Relay now supports Pulse Dialing. This is a
  method of address signaling where the circuit between
  the telephone handset and the Central Office/PBX is
  rapidly opened (break) and closed (make) by a pulsing
  contact. Pulse Dial support with Voice Relay conforms
  to standard EIA/TIA-464-A for both 10 and 20 pulses
    per second.
5.1M RFC 1155 Compliance The 5.1M Motorola MIB is compliant with the RFC 1155 standard
5.1M Q.SIG Enhancements These are the three enhancements to Voice Relay’s
  Q.SIG function:
  • Connectionless Messages -With Release 5.1M, Voice
  Relay supports end-to-end transmission of
  Connectionless Messages. This supplementary QSIG
  Service allows user information to be transported
  across a QSIG network without requiring call setup.
  • Information Element Filtering - All QSIG/Q931
  messages consist of a series of Information Elements
  (IE). Some of these IEs can cause problems for some
  ISDN equipment (PBXs). The new Information
  Element Filtering feature lets you configure the
  software to filter out undesirable non- standard IEs.
  • Cause Value Replacement - In general when a call is
  cleared a Clear Cause code is included in the Call
  Clearing message (Disconnect or Release). In some
  case, it may be useful to modify the Clear Cause
  code to allow the recipient of the Call Clearing
  message to take appropriate action. This new feature
  allows you to substitute one Clear Cause value for
    another.
5.1M Time Slot Bypass Timeslot Bypass allows a timeslot on a 6560/6520 T1/E1
  port to be switched transparently to another timeslot on
  the other T1/E1 port. This feature is useful in situations
  where two T1/E1 leased lines are used at a single site to
    transmit voice and data calls
5.1M Vanguard 6400 RFC 1155 Compliance
  This release supports a new product line, the Vanguard
  6400 Series. These devices provide wide area network
  access for offices that depend on legacy protocols (SNA/
  SDLC and BSC) with LAN traffic over X.25, Frame
  Relay, Point-to-Point, MultiPoint and ISDN circuits.
  There are two members of the Vanguard 6400 Series:
  • Vanguard 6430: supports two Async/Sync ports, two
  Async ports and an Ethernet port, as well as up to
  three optional Vanguard daughtercards.
  • Vanguard 6450: provides the functionality of the
    Vanguard 6430 plus it can support two Option Cards.
5.1M Voice Over IP Voice over IP (VoIP) provide termination and
  encapsulation of voice and fax traffic for transport over
  an IP network. Motorola’s proprietary protocol, Serial
  Protocol over TCP (SoTCP), provides the encapsulation
    mechanism for carrying voice traffic over an IP network.
5.1M Voice Broadcast Module This feature allows voice calls from one or two sources
  to be sent to as many as 62 destinations. Though the
  Voice Broadcast software resides in a 6560 or 6520, the
  call destinations and sources can be from other nodes
    and devices.
5.20 Serial Protocol Over TCP (SoTCP) SoTCP is a proprietary protocol that allows a Vanguard device to encapsulate and
  transport serial protocols over the IP network. This feature allows terminal and host
  devices operating serial protocols to connect and communicate with each other over
  an IP network. This eliminates the need for Wide Area Network (WAN) connections.
  The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides a reliable packet delivery
  mechanism over which data from serial access devices can be routed in an IP
  network.
  For more information, refer to the SoTCP Manual (Part Number T0008-44).
  Note:
  Parameters and applications for serial data traffic only are discussed in this
  manual. For information on SoTCP supporting Voice over IP (VoIP)
  applications, refer to the Multimedia Feature Protocol documentation
    (Part Number T0104).
5.20 SNA Dial on Demand SNA Dial on Demand allows a Vanguard to initiate a call or establish a connection
  only when data transfer occurs. Typically, a link or connection stays up indefinitely
  even during periods of idle data traffic. Dial on Demand significantly reduces
  bandwidth usage by clearing the link when there is no data to be sent. This action,
  however, remains transparent to the end devices and the Vanguard continues to poll
  the end device.
  You can apply SNA Dial on Demand to all combinations of LLC2, SDLC, and
  XDLC currently supported by SDLC to LLC conversion and SDLC and XDLC
  TPAD/HPAD functionality.
    For more information, refer to the SDLC Manual (Part Number T0008-9).
5.20 Network Address Translation (NAT) As a router function, Network Address Translation (NAT) allows for translation of
  one IP address to another IP address. Using NAT, devices in a private network that
  use an internal or private IP addressing scheme can access, and be accessed by, other
  hosts using the global IP addressing scheme.
  NAT offers a flexible solution for IP address depletion problems. NAT assumes that
  only a small percentage of devices within a private network access the Internet or
  external network at any point in time. To provide access to the external network,
  NAT maps a device’s internal address to an external address.
  For more information, refer to the IP Routing Manual (Part Number T0008-17).
  Note
  For Release 5.2, Network Address Port Translation (NAPT) is referred to as IP
    Masquerade (MASQ) in the CTP menu.
5.20 Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) For Release 5.2, CIDR is supported for OSPF and static routes only. Classless
  eliminates the concept of class-based networks by using a prefix or bit mask to
  represent the network portion of the IP address. CIDR defines the network portion of
  the IP addresses using the first 8 to 32 bits. This allows deployment of arbitrarily
  sized networks rather than fixed sized networks determined by the 8, 16, and 24 bit
  network numbers. In addition, CIDR allows aggregation of address space and thus
  reduces routing table size.
  Motorola's implementation of CIDR supports RFC 1517 to RFC 1520 and is
  supported for OSPF and static routing. CIDR is not supported for RIP1 and RIP2.
  These enhancements have been made for CIDR support:
  • configuration of classless static routes for static routing
  • configuration of OSPF external range table to allow aggregation of external
  routes into OSPF domains
  • configuration of OSPF area range to allow aggregation on a classless
  boundary
  • configuration of classless mask on the IP interface to allow aggregation of
  directly connected multiple networks on that interface
  For more information, refer to the IP Routing Manual (T0008-17) and the OSPF
    Manual (T0008-27).
5.20 Unlocking Utility The Unlocking Utility stores all the information about the possible combinations of
  the product, release, and licensed Vanguard Applications Ware for your software
  Package. The utility consists of Windows self- extracting, executable files. Licensed
  Vanguard Applications Ware allows you to build Packages. When you purchase a
  Vanguard Applications Ware License, you are provided with a serial number that
  corresponds to your release number, product, and Vanguard Applications Ware. You
  are then required to provide those serial numbers for the software licenses to create
  and use Packages.
    For more information, refer to the Vanguide Application Set Installation Guide.
5.20 Software Licenses To create a custom Applications Ware Package in Release 5.2, you must purchase the
  required software licenses. You can purchase software licenses from Motorola for
  the particular software release and Motorola product combination. When acquiring a
  software license, you receive a software license serial number. You must enter any
  purchased numbers into the list of available serial numbers by choosing the
  “Settings” menu and selecting the “Serial Numbers” tab in the “Options” dialog.
    For more information, refer to the Vanguard Software Builder Manual.
5.20 Router Discovery Router Discovery is a feature that enables hosts to discover the existence of
  neighboring routers. A router periodically advertises its router address. Associated
  with each router address advertisement is a priority that is used by hosts to select the
  best router address. This address is then used as the host's gateway address.
  For more information, see the IP Routing Guide.
  Command Line Interface (CLI)
  Command Line Interface (CLI) is a scripting language used to create, delete, and
  modify Configuration Memory (CMEM) records. CLI allows you to update the
  configuration of a device through the use of programmable scripts. CLI is a user-selectable
  feature of all of the Vanguard Applications Ware and is accessible via the
  CTP menu. It is device independent, and therefore has a fixed menu element across
  all platforms so other systems, such as PCs, can use its programming capabilities.
  CLI is ideal for updating a small number of parameters on a regular basis to a large
  number of devices.
    For more information, please see the Command Line Interface Manual.
5.20 Periodic SVC Billing Periodic SVC Billing lets you generate billing records, at configurable intervals, for
  the X.25 SVCs in the node. This feature lets you generate billing records for long
  duration SVCs without waiting for the SVC to clear.
    For more information, please see the Vanguard X.25 Configuration Basics Manual.
5.20 Call User Data Enhancement Call User Data (CUD) routing can now be configured on an X.25 port to update the
  called address of an incoming Call packet, before it is routed to its final destination.
    For more information, please see the Vanguard X.25 Configuration basics Manual
5.20 G.723.1 Compression Prior to this release, Voice Relay employed variations of CVSELP compression
  algorithms. With Release 5.2 (and later releases), Voice Relay can use G.723.1
  compression algorithms.
  For information about G.723.1 Compression (as well as CVSELP compression) refer
    to the Voice Relay Option Guide (T0023).
5.20 Dual Token Ring Beginning with Release 5.2, the Vanguard 6560 and 6520 can simultaneously
  support two Token Ring cards.
  For more information, refer to the 6520 Installation Manual (T0003) or the 6560
  Installation Manual (T0004). For information about configuring a Token Ring Port,
    refer to the Token Ring Basics Guide (part No. T0111).
5.20 Echo Canceller Disable With Release 5.2, you can disable the Echo Canceller function. This is done via the
  parameter Voice Switching Features in the Voice Switch Table.
    For information, refer to the Voice Relay Option Guide (T0023).
5.20 Dual FXS Card The new Dual FXS Vanguard Voice Relay daughtercard is now available starting
  with Release 5.2. This card provides two RJ45 connectors for FXS Ports and is
  available on these Vanguard platforms:
  • Vanguard 30X
  • Vanguard 320
  • Vanguard 6400
  Note
  The Dual FXS card is not supported on the Vanguard 100.
  For more information about this card, refer to the Vanguard Daughtercard
    Installation Guide (T0020).
5.20 GSC Protocol enhancement The GSC Call Rate parameter allows you to specify the number of X.25 calls that
  can be generated per second from all the GSC HPADs present in the node.
  A zero value indicates the feature is disabled and the HPAD generates one call per
  second when the node is activated.
  Any other value indicates the feature is enabled and upon a node or table boot, the
  HPAD generates as many calls as you configure.
    For more information, refer to the X.42 Option Guide (T0008-36).
5.20 ISDN Call Waiting The Vanguard 312 and 650 Series 650D now support Call Waiting for voice calls
  using ISDN (for NI1 ISDN switches only). When this feature is enabled, a caller
  hears a Call Waiting tone when a second call arrives. At that point, you can either:
  • Hang up on the current call allowing the second call through
  • Place the current call on hold by pressing the flash button or momentarily
  pressing the hook switch, so that the second call is connected. (You can
  alternate between the two calls by pressing the flash button or pressing the
  switch hook.)
  The Call Waiting tone is sent twice. If you do not respond to the tone, the second call
  is cleared.
    For more information, refer to the Vanguard ISDN Option Guide (T0008-29).
5.20 RFC1213 enhancements This RFC describes the Internet standard MIB II for use with network management
  protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. ONS Release 5.2 and greater offers the
  following enhancements to this RFC:
  • The return value of the ifDescr variable includes the physical port number in the
  string. Therefore, for example, if you configure physical port 26 as FRI, and its
  associated ifIndex is 7, the corresponding entry in the ifDescr table looks as
  follows:
  ifDescr.7 = “Port_26, FRI /Motorola /Motorola 6520 Router Node.”
  The return value for the ifDescr object takes the format:
  ifDescr.ifIndex : Port_<Number>,<Port Type>/Motorola/Product Name
  ifDescr.ifIndex : LCON_<Number>, /Motorola/Product Name
  • This enhancement is only available for the following interface types: X.25,
  Frame Relay, Ethernet, MX25, Token Ring, BRI/PRI, T1/E1, SDLC, XDLC,
  and LCONs.
  • The return value of the ifOperStatus object conforms to its definition in RFC
  1213. Therefore, the possible return values are only up(1), down(2), or test(3).
  The correspondence between the ifOperStatus object in RFC 1213 and the state
  of the physical interface as shown on the CTP is described in the table following
  this RFC list.
    For more information, refer to the SNMP Option Guide (T0008-15).
5.20 RFC1315 Enhancements This RFC describes support of MIB-II Frame Relay Management Information
  objects to accommodate Frame Relay DTE.
  Note
  There is one known limitation, where no set operation is supported on six read-write
  objects in the following range: 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32.1.1.3 to 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32.1.1.8.
    For more information, refer to the SNMP Option Guide (T0008-15).
5.20 Protocol Priority Enhancements Vanguard products offer a Protocol Priority feature through which the different
  traffic streams over a WAN link/connection can be classified and serviced depending
  the priority level and percentage of bandwidth assignment. The Protocol Priority
  feature allows you to:
  • share the bandwidth among different classes of traffic (bandwidth allocation)
  or
  • prioritize one traffic class over another or
  • prioritize high priority classes and share the bandwidth among the low
  priority traffic classes in the absence of high priority traffic classes.
    For more information, refer to the Protocol Priority Option Guide (T0008-41).
5.20 Dynamic Configuration (Node Boot Removal) The Motorola router has a large number of configurable parameters. Previously, a
  change to any of these parameters required a node boot to take effect. This
  requirement for a node boot disrupts all user traffic through the node and may bring a
  portion of the network down.
  The enhancements for Node boot elimination enable you to make configuration
  changes effective without booting the node. The enhanced functionality provides
  you with boot menus offering mechanisms to:
  • Boot Protocol Parameters
  • Boot Protocol Tables
  • Control interfaces by enabling or disabling them
  Note
  For a description of the limitations to this feature, refer to “Changes That
  Require Node Boot” section on page 14 of the SRN
  For more information, refer to the IP Routing Option Guide (T0008-15), the IPX
    Option Guide (T0008-14), and the OSPF Option Guide (T0008-27).
5.2M Centralized Voice Switching Centralized Voice Switching (CVS) lets you configure a single Voice Switch Table in
  a central node that can be accessed by all the voice nodes in a network. This
  eliminates the problem of having to configure all the Voice Switch Tables in all the
  voice nodes when setting up a network. In addition, with this feature, each time a
  node is added or removed, you only have to make changes to the Voice Switch Table
  in the central node. CVS is transparent to the user and calls are made as they were in
  earlier releases.
    For information, refer to the Voice Relay Option Guide (T0023).
5.2M Vanguard T1/E1 Daughtercards New Fractional T1 and E1 daughtercards are available on the Vanguard 6430 and
  Vanguard 6450. The FT1/FE1 daughtercards allow a Vanguard 6430/6450 to transfer
  data over a T1 or E1 network and support full and fractional T1 or E1 speeds.
  • The FE1 daughtercard provides line rates 2.048 Mbps and data rates of n x 64
  kbps (where n is 1 to 31) per channel.
  • The FT1 daughtercard provides line rates 1.544 Mbps and data rates of n x 56
  kbps (where n is 1 to 24) per channel.
  For a description of the daughtercard, refer to the Vanguard 6400 Installation Guide
  (T0031) and the Vanguard Daughtercard Installation Manual (T0020). For
  information about configuring parameters for the FT1/FE1 Daughtercard, refer to the
  appropriate sections in the Frame Relay Interface/Access Manual (T0008-04) or the
    X.25 Configuration Basics Guide (T0107).
5.2M Frame Relay Concentrator With the new Frame Relay Concentrator, Frame Relay Access/Interfaces can connect
  to each other on an intra-node basis using Bypass connections. A node can then act
  as a Frame Relay Concentrator. This feature provides Frame Relay service providers
  with a cost effective way to offer low volume, but wide spread, customer access to
  Frame Relay services.
  This feature is useful for carriers and other service providers that are interested in
  offering inexpensive concentration in locations that do not justify a full featured
  Frame Relay switch.
  For more information, refer to the Frame Relay Interface/Access Manual
  (T0008-04).
  Note
  All the features of the Frame Relay Concentrator application described in the
  Frame Relay Interface/Access Manual are implemented in Release 5.2M with
  the following exceptions:
  • You must use a Node Boot when adding and deleting Frame Relay Interface
  and Frame Relay Access stations.
  • Though Frame Relay Interface and Frame Relay Access Port Station Count
  Update commands appear under the Port Station Channel Control CTP menu,
    these commands do not function.
5.30 Year 2000 Compliance The Vanguard Release 5.3 Applications Ware is Year 2000 compliant. For more
  information, visit Motorola’s Year 2000 website:
    http://year2000.ing.motorola.com/yr2000/
5.30 SAKs SAKs are no longer used with Release 5.2 and later products. Pre-Release 5.2
  products, however, still use their SAKs. If you purchased SAKs for an earlier
    release, they can still be used with this release.
5.30 VoIP H.323 Support Release 5.3 introduces H.323 implementation in Vanguard products to allow Voice
  over IP (VoIP) calls to and from Microsoft NetMeeting. NetMeeting allows Voice
  teleconferencing over IP networks.
    Refer to the Voice over IP Manual (Part Number T0104-02) for more information.
5.30 Dynamic Coder Selection Beginning with Release 5.3, Vanguard 6520/6560 nodes receiving voice calls will be
  able to dynamically select the required codec (CVSELP, G.723.1 or G.729A) to
  decompress an incoming voice call. G.723.1 and G.729A require CSKs. Voice packet
  bundling will operate in supported applications.
    Refer to the Voice Relay Manual (Part Number T0104-03) for more information.
5.30 ACL/G.729A - 8K Coder Support Starting with Release 5.3, Vanguard products will support the G.729A standard,
  compression algorithm (codec) for Voice applications. G.729A voice packet
  bundling will operate in supported applications. A CSK is required to enable this
  feature.
    Refer to the Voice Relay Manual (Part Number T0104-03) for more information.
5.30 Data Encryption and Data Encryption/Compression SIMM Release 5.3 introduces data encryption on the Vanguard products. The Data
  Encryption feature is a combination of discrete hardware, in the form of a dedicated
  Encryption SIMM (which coincidently includes Motorola’s hardware data
  compression capability), and the Security Applications Ware License Upgrade.
  With release 5.3 of Vanguard Applications Ware, only the Vanguard 305, Vanguard
  6400 Series, Vanguard 6520, and Vanguard 6560 products will support data
  encryption.
  Refer to the Data Encryption Manual (Part Number T0103-09) for configuration
  information and refer to the Vanguard Daughtercard Installation Manual (Part
    Number T0020) for information on installing SIMMs.
5.30 AS/400 Communication Server The AS/400 5494 Communications Server feature makes a Vanguard function as a
  5494 LEN communications server for AS/400 host systems with attached 5394-type
  (including 5394-, 5294- and compatible-type) remote controllers.
  For more information refer to the AS/400 Communication Server Manual (Part
    Number T0101-07).
5.30 CLI Enhancements The Command Line Interface feature has been enhanced to include two new
  command categories: Transfer and Statistics. The Transfer category allows you to
  'get' or 'set' files from/to locations using TFTP, while the Statistics will allow you to
  script statistics output for specific parameters.
  In addition, CLI users can use the ‘get’ or TFTP ‘getscript’ command to get the user
  password.
    For more information refer to the CLI Manual (Part Number T0106-09).
5.30 Protocol Priority Enhancements For Release 5.3, the following enhancement have been made to the Protocol Priority
  feature:
  • Increased number of Protocol Priority Profiles. Up to three Protocol Priority
  Profiles can now be configured.
  • Support for prioritization of Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic to receive FAST
  PATH service
  • End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) indication and control
  Refer to the Protocol Priority Manual (Part Number T0100-09) for more
    information.
5.30 T1/E1 Daughtercard Support on the Vanguard 320 The Vanguard 320 now supports connectivity to fractional T1 and E1 using the T1/
  E1 daughtercard. For more information on installing the T1/E1 daughtercard refer
    Vanguard Daughtercard Manual (Part Number T0020).
5.30 ISDN BRI Data Feature Card The ISDN Data Feature Card is an optional Vanguard 6560/6520 card that provides
  two connectors for ISDN Basic Rate Interface (S).Increases port density.
  Refer to the Vanguard 6560/6520 Installation Manual (Part Number T0126) for
  more information on installation and refer to the Vanguard ISDN Manual (Part
    Number T0103-06) for information on configuration.
5.30 Vanguard V.34 Daughtercard The Vanguard V.34 Daughtercard is supported on the Vanguard 305, Vanguard 320,
  and Vanguard 6400 Series. The Vanguard V.34 Daughtercard acts as a synchronous
  V.34 modem to communicate with other V.34 modems using bit-oriented or
  character oriented protocols over the analog PSTN.
  Refer to the Vanguard Daughtercard Installation Manual (Part Number T0020) for
  installation information and 3460 Fast’R User Guide (Part number T0022-01) for
    configuration information.
5.30 V.54 Loopback SNMP Support With release 5.3, V.54 loopback test can be performed using an SNMP Manager.
    Refer to the SNMP Manual for more information (Part Number T0106-04).
5.30 Inverse ARP Enhancement Effective Release 5.3, the Vanguard router can now generate InvARP requests. This
  is only supported for LCONs using RFC 1294 encapsulation, when connected
  • to Frame Relay/PPP network by SVC or PVC or
  • to X.25 network by SVC
    With this enhancement, the next hop address can be determined.
5.30 Group LCON Backup Enhancement The Vanguard router supports fast back up of Group LCONs if one LCON in the
    group loses it connection. This feature is enabled for release 5.3.
5.30 Multiple Default and Static Routes You can now configure more than one entry in your Static IP route table with the
  same destination address but different next hop address and metric. In addition, you
  can also configure more than one route to the Default Gateway and more than one
  entry for default route in the Default Subnet Gateway table.
    Refer to the IP Routing Manual (Part Number T0100-03) for more information.
5.30 OSPF Static Route Control For Release 5.3, the Vanguard now offers control of the OSPF Static Route. Enabling
  a new parameter, Static Route Override, allows calculated OSPF routes to override
  static routes in the Routing Table.When this parameter is disabled, static routes will
  override OSPF routes in the Routing Table.
    Refer to the OSPF Manual (Part Number T0100-04) for more information.
5.30 OSPF Internal IP Address Advertisement Control This 5.3 feature enhancement allows a user to control the advertisements of internal
  addresses (via LSAs) into an OSPF domain. Users can choose whether the internal
  address of the router is advertised or not. If the router’s internal address is
  advertised, the router can be accessed remotely over any reachable interface. If the
  node can be accessed by other means, i.e.. an X.25 address, the internal IP address
  does not need to be advertised.
    Refer to the OSPF Manual (Part Number T0100-04) for more information.
5.30 IP Route Table Search and Ordered Display For release 5.3, the following enhancements have been made to IP Routing Table
  Statistics display:
  • IP Routing Table Statistics - for release 5.3, the user can now search the IP
  Routing Table by entering an IP search prefix or destination IP address.
  • Sorted IP Routing Table Statistics - the user has the option of displaying the IP
  Routing Table in ascending or descending order based on destination IP
  address.
  • Dump IP Routing Table Statistics - displays Sorted Routing Table without any
  page breaks
    Refer to the IP Routing Manual (Part Number T0100-03) for more information.
5.30 2780 Fast The BSC 2780/3780 option now supports a maximum port speed of 80 Kilobytes/
  second. The primary benefit of this enhancement is increased data throughput and a
  corresponding improvement in application performance.
  For more information refer to the BSC 2780/3780 Protocol Manual (Part Number
    T0101-02).
5.30 AC100 PAD Release 5.3 introduces the AC100 PAD protocol support for the Vanguard products.
  AC100 is a synchronous protocol that supports a Terminal Packet Assembler/
  Disassembler (AC100 TPAD) used to interact with a Nortel Host Packet Assembler/
  Diassambler (HPAD).
  An AC100 TPAD port passes messages from terminals to a host computer over an
  X.25 network. It polls, receives messages from the terminals, and establishes a data
  path to the Nortel host ports. The Nortel host ports (HPADs) interpret data coming
  from an AC100 TPAD with a protocol called AC200.
  Use this CSK to enable and control the AC100 TPAD protocol:
  C9PFGPKAZQDAETK73YD5
    For more information refer to the AC100 Protocol Manual (Part Number T0102-14).
5.30 PAD Server Signals Effective with Release 5.3 of Vanguard Applications Ware, you can use a protocol
    analyzer to verify PAD signals against any PAD specification.
5.30 T3POS over TCP The Vanguard supports T3POS virtual ports over TCP application. T3POS is a
  transaction processing protocol for POS (Point of Service) devices. T3POS PADs
  allow terminal equipment to communicate with ISPs (Information Service Providers)
  via virtual ports supported by either an X.25-based PPSN (Public Packet Switched
  Network) or a TCP application (when a virtual port is assigned a port number
  between 100 and 254.)
  A distinct T3POS Entity instance, with a different TCP port number, must exist for
  each TCP session. This allows Vanguard devices running the T3POS protocol to
  listen, on it’s TCP port, and serve the requests from specific T3POS terminals.
    For more information refer to the T3POS Protocol Manual (Part Number T0102-08).
5.30 Fatal Error Report (FER) Enhancements On the Vanguard 6520, 6560, 320, 310 Series, 305, 6400 Series platforms, Fatal
  Error Reports have been enhanced to:
  • Display module table contents
  • Display stacks for all tasks
  • Display memory region around Program Counter
  • Display Vector Table
  This feature is available only when customers operate in the DEBUG mode. When a
  Fatal Error Report is generated, a buffer utilization histogram is created to illustrate
  buffer usage during the previous 30 minutes.
  Note
  Unless you are a thoroughly experienced network professional, operating in the
    DEBUG Mode is not recommended.
5.30 Buffer Tracking Enhancement With release 5.3, it is now possible for those users who traditionally run Vanguard
  Applications Ware exclusively in the DEBUG mode, to print all buffers that are “out
  of pool”. In addition, various configuration parameters are now available to allow
  you to manipulate what the printouts will include. Contact your Motorola Service
  Representative for additional information.
  Note
  Unless you are a thoroughly experienced network professional, operating in the
    DEBUG Mode is not recommended.
5.30 LCP Echo Request Suppression Enhancement It is now possible to disable transmission of PPP echo request for all PPP ports in a
  node. Enter the following CSK to disable PPP echo request:
    824MKLAKE333ZL8P7554
5.3M Frame Relay SVC With Release 5.3M, Frame Relay Interface ports support FRF.4 implementation of
  Frame Relay Switched Virtual Circuits (SVC). Both PVC and SVC stations circuits
  may co-exist on the same FRI port and all FRI ports and stations function as they did
    in previous releases of Applications Ware.
5.3M IP Rip Timer Enhancements Release 5.3M introduces configurable enhancements for RIP. With this release you
  can specify:
  • Route Expire Time: the time that a route will expire
  • Route Flush Time: the time that a route will be deleted from the routing table
  In addition, you can now modify the Periodic Broadcasts Interval for both On-Demand
    and regular WAN links.
5.3M SNMP Trap Throttling Release 5.3M incorporates the ability to limit the number of times a trap can be
  generated during a specified period of time. This will reduce the number of traps
  displayed, or printed, for a node and simplify the investigation of potential problems.
  Up to 256 different traps can be throttled by the SNMP Agent on any Vanguard node.
  Refer to the Vanguard Applications Ware Alarms and Reports Manual (T0005
  Revision J), supporting Release 5.3M, for instructions on the use of this feature.
    Additional information can be found in the Vanguard Basic Configuration Manual
5.3M Memory Management Enhancements On the Vanguard 6520, 6560, 320, 310 Series, 305 and 6400 Series platforms,
  memory management has been enhanced to provide:
  • Information on memory allocation, via two new Node Statistics screens.
  These two new screens of the Node Statistics provides information on how
  much memory has been allocated during node initialization
  • Automatically adjustable flow control pool or buffer thresholds. These buffer
  thresholds are now configurable as threshold percentages under the DEBUG -
  Heap/Pool Size Control menu.
  Note - When upgrading to 5.3M, any configured, customized buffer threshold
  values will be reset to the default buffer threshold value. Reconfigure the
  threshold values according to your requirements. (DRFaa09419)
  • Ability to control the DBUFFER/PACKET pool by configuring IORB/
  DBUFFER Ratio parameter under the DEBUG-Heap/Pool Size Control
    menu.
5.3M Vanguard 6400 CMEM Expansion With Release 5.3M, the Vanguard 6400 Series products support conversion of
    compressed CMEMs from 32K to 64K and from 128K to 384K.
5.3M Vanguard 6425 Product Release This new member of the Vanguard 6400 Series has recently been introduced. This
  multi-service router new product provides WAN access for legacy protocols (e.g.,
  SNA/SDLC and BSC) with LAN traffic over IP, Frame Relay, X.25, PPP,
    Multipoint, and ISDN. The 6425 supports three standard Vanguard daughtercards.
5.3M Vanguard 6520/6560 Error Code and ISDN Option Card Switch Setting The Vanguard 6520 and 6560 Installation Manual has been updated with a complete
  Update list of the two-digit front panel display error codes and their descriptions.
  (DRFaa08160)
    In addition, the list of ISDN option card switch settings has been revised.
5.40 Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) support for IP, IPX, Transparent
  Bridging, AppleTalk, and Voice over IP. The QoS feature classifies traffic into flows
  or aggregates of flows that are configured for specific Per Hop Behaviors (PHBs).
  Each PHB can be assigned to ensure that specific percentages of bandwidth are
    applied to different traffic types.
5.40 Dynamic Configuration This feature allows you to make certain types of configuration changes without the
  need to reboot the node.
  Previously, you had to boot the node to implement changes to certain parameters
  (those identified with an asterisk on the CTP Configure menu). With Dynamic
  Configuration, you can implement changes to those parameters by simply booting
  that port. This way the configuration can be changed without disrupting data that is
  passing through the other ports.
  For Release 5.4, Dynamic Configuration support is available for these protocols:
  • X.25
  • Frame Relay
  • APAD/ATPAD
  • XDLC
    •SDLC
5.40 Policy Based Routing Policy Based Routing (PBR) provides a flexible mechanism of routing packets based
  on policies defined by the network administrator in contrast to simple destination
  based routing. With this feature, the network administrator can have more control
  over the traffic passing through their network by defining the policy for certain
    traffic flows.
5.40 IP Access Control and RIP Route Control Enhancements Ttwo enhancements to existing IP functionality, IP Access
  Control and RIP Route Control. These features can now be configured on a
  interface-by-interface basis. IP Access Control and RIP Route Control can be
    configured on any inbound or outbound interface or LCON.
5.40 RTP/UDP/IP Header Compression This feature provides compression of the RTP/UDP/IP or UDP/IP header of real-time
  video or voice packets. Header compression reduces excess bandwidth usage.
  This feature supports:
  • Header compression as defined by RFC 2508. The Vanguard can interoperate
  with other routers using RFC 2508 header compression.
  • Header compression by traffic type: RTP/UDP/IP, UDP/IP or both.
  • Header compression on link-by-link basis.
  • Header compression of RTP/UPD/IP or UDP/IP packets carried over PPP or
    Frame Relay WAN links.
5.40 Internal IP Address Assignment Enhancement The internal IP address can be set the same address of an interface
    IP address or to an address from an attached subnet.
5.40 Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) and RIP Version 2 Support Vanguard routers support aggregation of routes learned from RIP
    Version 2 broadcasts.
5.40 OSPF Point-to-Multipoint and Unnumbered Interface Support Point-to-Multipoint Non-Broadcast OSPF networks support more than two attached
  routers but has no broadcast capabilities. For this network type, a non-broadcast
  network is treated as a collection of point-to-point links.
  Release 5.4 also introduces unnumbered IP interface support. Typically each IP
  interface of a route will have its own IP address. To conserve IP addresses,
  unnumbered IP interfaces addresses can now be used for OSPF interfaces.
  Unnumbered IP interfaces are supported for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
    OSPF networks.
5.40 H.323 - Gatekeeper Registration, Admission and Status (RAS) Protocol Vanguard gateways can interface with H.323 gatekeepers and
  Support request admission into an H.323 gatekeeper’s zone using the Registration,
    Admission and Status (RAS) protocol.
5.40 H.323 - DTMF Digits Support Over the H.245 Control Channel Vanguard gateway’s H.323 access port supports the transport of
  DTMF digits over the H.245 control channel.
  Note:
  In order to support DTMF digits over the H.245 control channel, all Vanguard
  nodes must be operating Vanguard Applications Ware Release 5.4 or higher.
  DTMF digit support over the H.245 control channel is not backwards compatible
  with Release 5.3M or earlier. Vanguard nodes operating Release 5.3M or earlier
  do not support DTMF digits over the H.245 control channel. Instead, a
    proprietary method is used to transport inband DTMF digits between Vanguards.
5.40 H.323 - G.729 Compression Support Vanguard gateway now supports G.729.A encoding and compression.
  Voice Port Fax Statistics Enhancements The Voice Port Statistics have been enhanced to display additional statistics when the
    voice port is enable to support FAX and is connected to a FAX machine.
5.40 Enhanced Voice Call Report Display Voice call reports are generated on a call-by-call basis and provides three lines of
  information on the status of a call. With Release 5.4, the voice call report has been
  enhanced to display the first 30 digits of the dialled digits. This includes called
    party’s number and inband digits.
5.40 Frame Relay DTE Interface over ISDN Vanguard 305, 320, 6400 Series, and 6560/6520 products now support a Frame
  Relay DTE interface over an ISDN link. This interface can be configured as either a
  virtual or physical Frame Relay Port and provides:
  • Semi-Permanent ISDN connectivity. Frame Relay virtual ports can operate in
  a semi-permanent mode of operation when there is at least one PVC
  connection on the port or BYPASS or Annex-G station.
  • Dial-On-Demand (DoD) ISDN connectivity. Frame Relay virtual ports only
  function in the Dial-on-Demand (DoD) mode when Annex-G stations are
  configured with SVCs. BYPASS stations can be configured but they should
    not be active.
5.40 Increased Number of TCP Sessions for SoTCP Vanguard 305, 320, 6400 Series, and 6560/6520 now supports up to 500 TCP
  sessions for SoTCP. The maximum number of TCP sessions that are actually
  supported will depend on the memory available in the Vanguard node.
  In addition, although the maximum number of TCP sessions can be set to 40
  (for Vanguard 100, 200, and 650) or 500 (for all other Vanguards), the value will be
  scaled down during node initialization to ensure that SoTCP does not consume more
    than 25% of the available memory in the Vanguard node.
5.40 SoTCP as a Backup Link This option allows for the configuration of an SoTCP session as back up link. The
  node must have a SoTCP session configured to use this feature. The SoTCP session
    can also transmit other traffic.
5.40 ATPAD Enhancements Two enhancements have been added to Vanguards support for ATPAD:
  M-bit handling - This option allows the ATPAD to split packets that exceed the
  configured network packet size and transmit so it appears as one data to the receiving
  end. M-bit handling sets first and intermediate packets' M-bit to 1, so it appears as
  one data stream when on X.25.
  Data Carrier Detect (DCD) - This option adds the DCD setting for the ATPAD,
    essentially allowing the ATPAD to connect like a modem.
5.40 SNMP Set Support This option allows the user to change the values of certain MIB object variables
  through a Set request to the host agent. The SNMP manager uses Set to change Read/
    Write MIB object variables.
5.40 X.25 Extended Window Size This option increases the window sizes at Frame and Packet levels in X.25. This
  option increases the bandwidth available for high speed WAN links. These
  parameters’ range are increased:
  • K Frame Window
  • W Packet Window
  • Data Queue Upper Threshold
    • Data Queue Lower Threshold
5.40 Extended Calling Line ID Table With this release, you can now configure up to 512 Calling Party ID Table entries.
    Previously, the maximum number of entries was fixed at 255.
5.40 MBC Protocol Vanguard Applications Ware supports the MBC Protocol. This is
  used in banking networks where multiple branch offices are connected to the central
  site office through a Frame Relay network (with ISDN backup). The MBC Protocol
    is supported on Vanguard 6560s.
5.40 Command Line Interface Commands Seven commands have been added to the Command Line Interface feature. These
  new commands are:
  • Bootnodecold
  • Bootnodewarm
  • Bootalltables
  • Bootport [port number]
  • Boot [record]
  • Defaultnode
    • Getscript
5.40 ISDN Port Select You can have ISDN calls routed to specific ports. This is a security
    feature used to implement ISDN closed user groups for special applications.

5.40P0LA H.323 Version 2 Enhancements Vanguard Voice has been enhanced to include H.323 Version 2, which provides a
  new range of features and enables the use of gatekeepers for call control. These are
    the new enhancements available in this release:
5.40P0LA Clear Token Support - This is an important feature when using the NetSpeak
  Gatekeeper. This feature allows source based routing and custom dial plans to
  be implemented across domains and provide a 50% increase in routing
  performance when routing calls sourced out of domain. In the absence of the
  NetSpeak Clear Token, the destination side gatekeeper must reroute the call
    upon receipt of a setup.
5.40P0LA Can_Map_Alias This feature allows an infrastructure NetSpeak gatekeeper
  the capability to manipulate the dialing plan. The effected scenarios are:
  EVERY call model where a Vanguard Gateway is the source of a call and
  resides on an infrastructure (direct-mode) Gatekeeper and the gatekeeper is
  configured to do digit conversion. The Vanguard gateways support the feature
  on both source and destination gateways. The destination gateways would
    only work with E.164.
5.40P0LA Dynamic Coder This feature allows negotiation of a particular code during
  a voice call. The two ends negotiate to a common coder and other defined
  attributes. For configuration information, refer to the 7300 Installation
    Manual (Part Number T0185).
5.40P0LA Null_Term_Caps This features allows the redirection of the audio path on
  an existing call without clearing the call. For example, if during an existing
  call, the gatekeeper wants to play a message such as “You have one minute
  remaining,” the Null_Term_Caps procedure is used to re-direct the audio path
  to the media server, and then the media server can play the message. When the
  message is complete, the gatekeeper can re-establish the connection between
    the two parties.
5.40P0LA PRI Voice Support Vanguard Voice Software is enhanced to include the support of ISDN Primary Rate
  Interfaces. This includes support for Q.Sig Basic Services (per ECMA 143 standard),
  Supplementary Services (per ECMA 165 standard) and segmentation of messages
    longer than 255 bytes (per ECMA 143 Appendix ZA).
5.40P0LA ATM Enhancements The Vanguard 7300 Series ATM functionality has been enhanced to include a new range
  of features that allow full ATM capabilities. These are the new enhancements available
  in this release:
  • Supports both T3 (up to 44.736 Mbps) and E3 interfaces (up to 34.368 Mbps).
  • Variable Bit Rate (VBR) - real time and non-real time
  • Up to 4000 Virtual Channel Connections (VCC)
  • FRF.8 Transparent Mode
  • Annex G Termination
    • SNMP for ATM
5.40P0LA Accelerated IP Forwarding Accelerated IP Forwarding uses Aggregate Cache to improve IP forwarding
  performance over normal path forwarding. This feature reduces the amount of
  processing that IP packets undergo during transmit in the node.
  Accelerated IP Forwarding is supported only on the Vanguard 7300 Series and
    6435/6455 products. For more information, refer to the IP Routing Manual
5.40P0LA Policy-Based Routing and Network Address Translation Performance These performance improvements are implemented to improve the Quality of Service
  Improvements & NAT Table Size Increase with Vanguard nodes. This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard
    products. For more information, refer to the IP Routing Manual
5.40P0LA Increase Number of Frame Relay DLCI’s Data Link Connection Identifiers (DLCI’s) are unique identifiers for stations on a
  Frame Relay port. Stations are used to setup unique connections through the network
  from one end-point to another. Typically, in central site applications, it is necessary
  to terminate many virtual connections from the remote sites, requiring additional
  stations. Frame Relay ports now support up to 820 configured stations. It is possible
  to establish 820 PVCs across a single FRI port. All existing characteristics of the FRI
  port and individual stations are preserved. To support the increased number of
  DLCI’s, Station Record Multi-Copy has been added. It allows creation of a specified
  number of stations with one command. An existing station is used as a template. All
  stations share the same configuration parameters of the template station except the
  station and DLCI number. These numbers are created automatically, incrementing
  the station and DLCI number of the previously created station. All station numbers
    and DLCIs belong to the continuous range determined by the user.
5.40P0LA Differentiated Services (Diff Serv) Enhancements This feature builds on the Type of Service (TOS) to provide more granularity of QoS
  so that Service Level Agreements can be offered. Diff Serv uses all eight bits of the
  TOS Byte (now renamed the DS byte) to provide 64 traffic classes (versus eight
  previous traffic classes) for IP traffic. The Diff Serv specification defines certain
  hop-by-hop behaviors and how these are to be accomplished using different
  prioritization, queuing, and bandwidth management schemes. These Vanguard
  enhancements support:
  • Diff Serv behaviors
  • Class Queuing
  •Marking
  • Code points
  •Flow mapping
  • Expedite (highest priority queue)
  • Assured Per-Hop Behaviors (PHB’s)
  • Committed Access Rate (CAR)
  Token Bucket, and various traffic-conditioning algorithms to support queues
  and provide rate-throttling mechanisms named Dropper, Shaper and Three
  Color Markers
  • SNMP for IP QoS
  Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) which takes advantage of TCP’s built-in
  congestion control mechanism is also supported. Network users who want to take
  full advantage of the business benefits of convergence have suitable QoS
  prioritization in the Intelligent edge, regarding network core size, speed and
  capability.
  This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For more
    information, refer to the Quality of Service Manual (Part Number T0100-10).
5.40P0LA FRA Functionality on 7300 This feature allows the 7300 Series to interface with another Frame Relay access
  device and serve as the Frame Relay switch. The primary purpose of the FRA port is
  to allow a device with a Frame Relay DTE interface to connect with a Vanguard
  node. The Vanguard node appears as a Frame Relay DCE similair to a Frame relay
  switch. The 7300 does not use FRA ports, instead it now allows FRI By-pass stations
  to provide all functionality provided by an FRA port and station. FRI Bypass stations
  now support SVC and PVC connections between other By-pass stations and WAN
    adaptors (LCON).
5.40P0LA FRI Port Configuration Parameters The following parameter has been added to the existing FRI port configuration.
  Port Subaddress
  Range: 0 to 3 decimal digits.
  Default: Port number
  Description: Specifies the subaddress for the FRI port. The subaddress is part of
    the X.25 SVC addressing scheme.
5.40P0LA Station Configuration Parameters The following new entries have been added to existing a FRI Bypass station
  configuration parameters:
  FRA Support
  Range: ENABLED, DISABLED
  Default: DISABLED
  Description: Provides support for FRA functionality. When it is ENABLED,
  X.25 SVC connection will be established in accordance with
    configured parameters.
5.40P0LA Autocall Mnemonic Range: Up to 8 alphanumeric characters
  Default: (blank)
  Description: A string associated to an address in the Mnemonic table. This
  address is used to identify the target end point when a switched
  virtual circuit is created. When left blank, the station can only
  answer calls. Perform a Station boot to implement changes to this
  parameter. This parameter only appears if the parameter FRA
    Support is set to Enabled
5.40P0LA Traffic Priority Range: LOW, MED, HIGH, EXPEDITE
  Default: HIGH
  Description: Specifies the traffic priority of this FRA Bypass station. Perform a
  Station boot to implement changes to this parameter.
  This parameter only appears if the parameter FRA Support is set
    to Enabled.
5.40P0LA Billing Records Range: OFF, ON
  Default: OFF
  Description: Enables or Disables the storing and printing of billing records for
  the FRA Bypass station. Perform a Station boot to implement
  changes to this parameter. This parameter only appears if the
    parameter FRA Support is set to Enabled.
5.40P0LA Autocall Timeout Range: 5 to 255
  Default: 5
  Description: Specifies the waiting period (in seconds) before issuing another
  request, after an unsuccessful autocall attempt. Perform a Station
  boot to implement changes to this parameter. This parameter only
  appears if the parameter FRA Support is set to Enabled and
    Autocall Mnemonic is not Blank.
5.40P0LA Maximum Number of Autocall Attempts Range: 0-255
  Default: 4
  Description: Specifies how many times the FRA Bypass station attempts to
  establish an autocall connection before giving up. To continuously
  make call attempts, set to zero (0). Perform a Station boot to
  implement changes to this parameter. This parameter only appears
  if the parameter FRA Support is set to Enabled and Autocall
    Mnemonic is not Blank.
5.40P0LA Remote Connection ID Range: 1 to 254
  Default: 1
  Description: This parameter specifies the station number of the remote FRI port
  or the LCON number of the remote node to be called. Perform a
  Station boot to implement changes to this parameter. This
  parameter only appears if the parameter FRA Support is set to
    Enabled and Autocall Mnemonic is not Blank.
5.40P0LA FRF.12 The 7300 now supports FRF.12 the Frame Relay Fragmentation Implementation
  Agreement of December 1997. This agreement was developed to allow long data
  frames to be fragmented into smaller pieces and interleaved with real-time frames. In
  this way, real-time voice and non-real-time data can be carried together on lower
    speed links without causing excessive delay to the real-time traffic.
5.40P0LA Frame Relay to ATM Service Interworking This features allows the 7300 Series to connect to a Frame Relay FRI station across
  an intermediate network. This type of networking is called Service Interworking and
  its function is to ensure that the different connection types are transparent to both the
  ATM and Frame Relay end-users. With Service Interworking, a single Frame Relay
    DLCI is mapped directly to a single ATM VCC, both are PVC.
5.40P0LA Software Data Compression (Soft DC) The Vanguard 7300 Series supports data compression capability without the
  purchase or installation of the DC DSP or DCC SIMM. Data compression
  functionality is built into the operating software, eliminating the need for additional
  hardware. Data compression between these and other platform nodes is completely
  compatible. The Vanguard 7300 Series version of the Frame Data Compressor is
    known as Soft DC. The 7300 Series supports a maximum of 500 Channels.
5.50 TBOP Idle Flags Extended In release 5.5 you have the ability to add one to 15 idle-flag pads between TBOP data
  frames. This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For
  more information, refer to the Transparent Bit-Oriented Protocols Manual
    (Part Number T0102-04).
5.50 SNA SNMP MIB SNA MIB support is available with Release 5.5 for IBM LLC2 SDLC Conversion.
  This feature is available in the SNA+ Applications Ware License on Vanguard 65xx
  products. For more information, refer to the SNMP/MIB Manual (Part Number
    T0106-04).
5.50 LLC2/SDLC Node Boot In Release 5.5 it is no longer necessary to reboot a Vanguard node when
  configuration changes are made to the LLC2/SDLC conversion.
  This feature is available in the SNA+ Applications Ware License for all Vanguard
    products. For more information, refer to the SDLC Manual (Part Number T0101-05).
5.50 X.25 Call Redirection for SNA LLC Stations Call redirection for SNA LLC stations allows the call originator to redirect the call if
  a particular LLC station at the remote is not operational (link down, device down,
  etc.). For AnnexG over Frame Relay implementations, this feature increases network
  availability and resilience.
  This feature is available in the SNA+ Applications Ware License for all Vanguard
    products. For more information, refer to the SDLC Manual (Part Number T0101-05).
5.50 Ease-of-Configuration Features (previously known as Dynamic Release 5.5 introduces many new Ease-of-Configuration features that eliminate the
  Configuration) requirements of rebooting after a new configuration is completed. These new
  features include:
  • Dynamic Boot for BSC2780
  • Node Boot Removal from SLAC
  • Dynamic Boot for TCOP
  • Dynamic Boot for TBOP
  Note
  This feature was introduced with Point Release 5.4.P04.
  Detailed instructions for using Ease of Configuration are in the Vanguard
  Applications Ware Basic Protocols Manual (Part Number T0106), Vanguard
  Applications Ware Serial Feature Manual (Part Number T0102) and Vanguard
    Applications Ware SNA Feature Protocols Manual (Part Number T0101).
5.50 Modem Call Security (V.25bis) If enabled, this feature allows the 6430 device to ignore incoming calls on the X.25
  port from a Dial Back-Up Modem. The 6430 previously only checked the ISDN
  ports.
  This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For more
    information, refer to the BSC 2780/3780 Manual (Part Number T0101-02).
5.50 Policy-Based Routing and Network Address Translation Performance These performance improvements are implemented to improve the Quality of
  Improvements & NAT Table Size Increase Service with Vanguard nodes.
  This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For more
    information, refer to the IP Routing Manual (Part Number T0100-03).
5.50 SoTCP Port Number range for RTP Header Compression This feature provides network users with all of the convergence and VoIP benefits
  that Vanguard offers. The port number range reduction that supports RTP header
  compression matches the capabilities of other manufacturers’ products.
  You can use intelligent Vanguard Integrated Access Devices (IADs) to provide
  packet voice (H.323 VoIP, VoFR) or VoSoTCP, as well multi-service data
  integration.
  This feature is available in the Voice Upgrade License for all Vanguard Products. For
  more information, see the Serial Protocol over TCP Manual
    (Part Number T0100-06).
5.50 SoTCP Performance Improvements SoTCP throughput performance improved by approximately 30% in Release 5.5. In
  addition to the following changes, INL-like support is added to prevent call loops:
  • GooiTech: This feature lets you configure the remote TCP port number along
  with the remote IP address in the SoTCP map table. GooiTech gives you the
  option of using various TCP ports for different X.25 called addresses.
  • No Loop-Back Option (INL facility): This feature prevents a SoTCP call from
  looping back to the originating node. When this option is enabled, any call
  returning back to a node is cleared. In addition to enabling this option, you
  must also set the maximum number of hops for call packets entering the
  nodes.
  • Increase of map table entries: This feature lets you configure up to 500 entries
  in the SoTCP map table. This increase supports only the Vanguard 6520,
  Vanguard 6560 and Vanguard 6400 devices.
  Note
  With the exception of the SoTCP map table entries increase, these features are
  available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard 64xx, Vanguard 320, and Vanguard
  6560 products
  For more information, refer to the Serial Protocol over TCP Manual
    (Part Number T0100-06).
5.50 BSTD TPAD Response Timeout Value Decrease Release 5.5 allows the reduction of the minimum value of the Burroughs Poll Select
  Response Timeout Value on a TPAD port from the current 400 milliseconds to 50
  milliseconds.
  This feature is available in the SNA+ Applications Ware License for all Vanguard
  products. For more information, refer to the Burroughs Polled Select Manual
    (Part Number T0102-02).
5.50 GSC Lottery (X.42) Protocol Enhancements Release 5.5 provides for enhanced operation of certain GSC features. GSC is a
  8-bit asynchronous, polled protocol especially developed for lottery applications by
  the GTECH Corporation. This protocol is very similar to X.42 and typically is used
  for communication between GTECH's GTX polling controller at the central site and
  the lottery terminals located on a retail premise.
  These new enhancements provide the flexibility and cost advantages of packet-based
  technologies (X.25, Frame Relay,
  D-Channel packet, etc.). The GSC protocol is spoofed by the access device at either
  end (HPAD/TPAD), and only data is sent over the packet network.
  This feature is available in the SNA+ Applications Ware License for 6500 PLUS ,
  Vanguard 6520, Vanguard 6560, and Vanguard 305 products. For more information,
  refer to the X.42 Protocol Manual (Part Number T0102-10).
  Note
  The Vanguard documentation set refers to GSC as X.42 given the extensive
    similarities between the two.
5.50 PPP AT Dialer This feature provides a mechanism for Point-to-Point Protocol to dial automatically
  over a dial up modem. The dialup numbers can be configured in the node, and the
  modem allows for both incoming and outgoing calls.
  This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For more
    information, refer to the Point-to-Point Manual (Part Number T0106-08).
5.50 PPP Long Account Name and Password/Secret This feature increases the length of the PPP Node Name and Account Name to 64
  characters. Additionally, up to 32 characters can be used in the PPP Node Name,
  Password, and Secret at the remote end. For more information, refer to the Point-to-Point
    Manual (Part Number T0106-08).
5.50 PPP over Channelized T1/E1 This feature allows for PPP over Channelized IP T1/E1 connections. For more
    information, refer to the Point-to-Point Manual (Part Number T0106-08).
5.50 Enhanced Ping This feature is a debugging tool used for IP networks. Enhanced Ping allows you to
  specify both the source and destination IP address, as opposed to just the destination
  address as in normal Ping.
  This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For more
  information, refer to the Vanguard Basic Configuration Manual
    (Part Number T0113).
5.50 Traceroute Traceroute is a debugging tool that allows you to see the route IP datagrams follow
  to a certain destination. Traceroute displays a complete list of routers a datagram
  must cross in order to reach its destination as well as the RTTs between the host
  where the Traceroute program resides and each of these routers.
  This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For more
  information, refer to the Vanguard Basic Configuration Manual
    (Part Number T0113).
5.50 Triple DES Encryption This feature, sometimes referred to as 3-DES, is an encryption standard used to
  secure data. 3-DES uses two distinct keys of 64 bits each; DES uses only one distinct
  key to encrypt data. The combination of the two distinct keys provides 128 bits of
  encryption strength.
  Security Applications Ware Upgrade Licenses are for use on Vanguard 305, 6425,
  6435, 6455, 6520, and 6560 products. For more information, refer to the Data
    Encryption Manual (Part Number T0103-09).
5.50 Vanguard Voice Firewall Support Corporate network security is necessary to protect vital and sensitive information, as
  well as to prevent the nuisance of hacker attacks. Firewalls are the standard method
  for achieving this security. One method firewalls use is to disallow calls that use the
  same UDP port for sending and receiving messages. This conflicts with the previous
  implementation of VoIP, as voice frequently uses the same UDP port for sending and
  receiving.
  Vanguard VoIP H.323 V2 software can support corporate firewall security after
  H.323 V2 and SoTCP are enhanced. The software also allows high-quality VoIP
  calls to be initiated by enabling support of different UDP ports for sending and
  receiving messages. This support provides VoIP without compromising voice quality
  or security. The Voice Upgrade License is for use on all Vanguard Products. UDP
  port numbers are available for VoIP/SoTCP. For more information, refer to the
  Vanguard Voice Manual
    (Part Number T0104-05).
5.50 H.323 V2 Support Vanguard Voice has been enhanced to include H.323 Version 2, which provides a
  new range of features and enables the use of Gatekeepers for call control. New
  features include:
  • Fast connect – Mimics PSTN speed of a call connection, a weakness of
  H.323 V1
  • H.245 – Provides the necessary signaling to a Gatekeeper to support call
  control
  • Indirect call control – A standard telephone applications feature used in
  standard telephone applications, such as calling cards or pre-paid accounts
  where the caller is directed to enter DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency)
  tones for security and billing purposes.
  • H.323 Facility messaging – Allows for call redirection, for example to voice
  mail systems.
  The Voice Upgrade License is for use on all Vanguard Products. For more
    information, refer to the Vanguard Voice Manual (Part Number T0104-05).
5.50 Vanguard Voice Broadcast The Vanguard Voice Broadcast feature can triggered automatically when the
  recipient picks up their phone and simultaneously broadcast a message to more than
  60 other phones. One or two phones can be used to originate phone messages. A
  typical application would be broadcasting a morning briefing session to employees.
  Vanguard products support this Vanguard Voice Broadcast feature. Vanguard Voice
  Broadcast operates with (G.723.1 (5.3 and 6.3 kbps); G.792A (8 kbps) and G.711
  (64 kbps PCM), H.323 VOIP, VOFR, or VoSoTCP and represents a cost-effective
  solution for communicating with large groups of people.
  The Voice Upgrade License is used for Vanguard 6560, 6520, 6435, 6450 and 6455
  for both source and reception; Vanguard 320 only for reception. For more
    information, refer to the Vanguard Voice Manual (Part Number T0104-05).
5.50 BRI Voice Support Vanguard Voice Software is enhanced to include the support of ISDN Basic Rate
  Interfaces. This includes support for Q.Sig Basic Services (per ECMA 143
  standard), Supplementary Services (per ECMA 165 standard) and segmentation of
  messages longer than 255 bytes (per ECMA 143 Appendix ZA).
  For more information, refer to the Vanguard 6520/6560 Manual (Part Number
  T0103-05), Vanguard ISDN Manual (Part Number T0103-06) and Vanguard Voice
    Manual (Part Number T0104-05).
5.50 High Density Server Module (HDSM) for 6560 A new High-Density Voice Server Option for the 6560 replaces the current
  DSPM/SM. This software is backward compatible with the older card. Two new
  hardware options are available:
  • 32 Channel High-Density Server Card
  • 48 Channel High-Density Server Card
    For more information, refer to the 6560 Installation Manual (Part Number T0126).
5.50 Simultaneous Support for ISDN BRI Data and Voice Vanguard Applications Ware provides additional features for the Vanguard 6455.
  The BRI Data Daughtercard and BRI Voice Daughtercard can operate in the same
  Vanguard 6455. For more information, refer to Vanguard 6435/6455 Installation
    Manual (Part Number T0166).
5.50 Vanguard 6455 VOIP Convergence Card Support The VOIP Convergence Card, is an option card for the Vanguard 6450 and 6455.
  Coupled with DSP SIMM cards that mount to the option card, the VOIP
  Convergence Card provides the following features:
  • Support for 30 Voice Channels for the E1 card and 24 Voice Channels for the
  T1 card.
  • Supports 31 virtual data ports for the E1 card and 24 virtual data ports for the
  T1 card.
  • Supports two DSP SIMM cards: a card with two DSP (Eight Voice Channels)
  and a card with 4 DSPs (16 Voice Channels).
  - E1 should use two 16 Channel cards
  - T1 should use one 8 channel and one 16 channel card.
  • Supports any combination of voice and data.
  • Provides aggregate speed of 2.048 Mbps of data traffic on all virtual data
    ports.
5.50 G.711 Vocoder Support Support for the G.711 Voice Coder is added for the Vanguard 6560 HDSM and
  645X VOIP Convergence Card for Voice Relay and SOTCP based voice ports.
  Support for G.711 over H.323 is not currently available within Release 5.5, but will
  be released subsequently as a software “patch” on top of Release 5.5. For more
    information, refer to the Vanguard Voice Manual (Part Number T0104-05).
5.50 G.723.1 and G.729 Compression Support For the Vanguard 6560 HDSM and 645X VOIP Convergence Card, Customer
  Software Keys (CSKs) are not required for G.723.1 or G.729 compression. For more
    information, refer to the Vanguard Voice Manual (Part Number T0104-05).
5.50 Differentiated Services (Diff Serv) Enhancements This feature builds on the Type of Service (TOS) to provide more granularity of QoS
  so that Service Level Agreements can be offered. Diff Serv uses all eight bits of the
  TOS Byte (now renamed the DS byte) to provide 64 traffic classes (versus eight
  previous traffic classes) for IP traffic. The Diff Serv specification defines certain
  hop-by-hop behaviors and how these are to be accomplished using different
  prioritization, queuing, and bandwidth management schemes. These Vanguard
  enhancements support:
  • Diff Serv behaviors
  • Class Queuing
  •Marking
  • Code points
  •Flow mapping
  • Expedite (highest priority queue)
  • Assured Per-Hop Behaviors (PHB’s)
  • Committed Access Rate (CAR)
  • Token Bucket, and various traffic-conditioning algorithms to support queues
  and provide rate-throttling mechanisms named Dropper, Shaper and Three
  Color Markers
  Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) which takes advantage of TCP’s built-in
  congestion control mechanism is also supported. Network users who want to take
  full advantage of the business benefits of convergence have suitable QoS
  prioritization in the Intelligent edge, regarding network core size, speed and
  capability.
  This feature is available in the IP+ License for all Vanguard products. For more
    information, refer to the Quality of Service Manual (Part Number T0100-10).
5.50 FRI DCE A new parameter, the Control Protocol Role, is added to the Frame Relay Interface
  (FRI) port record. If you specify the DCE parameter and either LMI, Annex_A, or
  Annex_D is the Control Protocol Support, the Vanguard sends an update status
  message to the DTE to stop transmission anytime packets queued for a station reach
  the flow control threshold. When packets queued is less than the threshold, the
  Vanguard sends an update status message to the DTE to send transmissions. For
    more information, refer to the Frame Relay Manual (Part Number T0106-02).
5.50 FRF.12 The Motorola Vanguard Series of products supports Frame Relay Fragmentation
  Implementation Agreement 12 (FRF.12). This feature allows long data frames to be
  fragmented into smaller pieces and interleaved with real-time frames. For more
    information, refer to the Frame Relay Manual (Part Number T0106-02).
5.50 Asynchronous Transfer Mode Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a cell-switching and multiplexing protocol.
  It combines the capacity and constant transmission delay aspects of circuit switching
  with the flexibility and efficiency of packet switching, allowing for scalability in
  bandwidth from megabits to gigabits per second. For more information, refer to the
    Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Manual (Part Number T0100-11).
5.50 IP Over ATM The Vanguard Series of products provides for the support of mulitprotocol support of
  IP and IPX routing protocols as well as Ethernet and token-ring bridged protocols. IP
  Address Resolution compliant with RFC1577 as well as IPX Address Resolution,
  standard encapsulation compliant with RFC 1483 is as well as FR-ATM service
  interworking via RFC1294 and RFC 1483 are supported. For more information, refer
    to the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Manual (Part Number T0100-11).
5.50 ATM Support Added to CLI With the introduction of ATM support in Release 5.5, the standard Command Line
  Interface (CLI) function is modified to allow configuration of all ATM parameters.
  The CLI function now also supports node configuration changes made by the
  Vanguard Configuration Wizard. For more information, refer to the Asynchronous
    Transfer Mode Manual (ATM) (Part Number T0100-11).
5.50 ATM for E1/T1 Access The ATM Feature Set supports the requirements of an access router that is
  interfacing with T1/E1 lines and supports UBR and CBR Traffic ATM and IP, and
  SNA+ Applications Ware Licenses for the Vanguard 6435/6455 only. For more
  information, refer to the Asynchronous Transfer Mode Manual (ATM)
    (Part Number T0100-11).
5.50 ATM Enhanced Daughtercard The T1/E1 ATM Enhanced Daughtercard can be installed in either a Vanguard 6435
  or Vanguard 6455. These products support a maximum of two ATM EDCs; each
  connecting a single port to either a T1 or E1 leased line network. For more
    information, refer to the 6435/6455 Installation Manual (Part Number T0166).
5.50 VPN Tunnel Host Name The name field in the node parameters is extended from eight characters to 64
  characters. This allows sufficient room to append domain name strings to the node
  name to support the customer’s VPN L2F tunnel identification, although Motorola
  does not support L2F Tunneling. When a router calls in to the VPN, and performs
  PAP or CHAP authentication, the network needs to identify the L2F tunnel to route
  the packets through the network to Worldspan’s data center. The method used by
  MCI/UUNET for tunnel identification is to append a domain name to the Name field
  used by PAP and CHAP.
  This feature is available in the Security Applications Ware License for all Vanguard
  products. For more information, refer to the Virtual Private Network Manual
    (Part Number T0103-10).

5.60 BRI SO Voice Feature BRI SO Voice support is available with Release 5.6. For more information, refer to
    the Vanguard 340 Installation Manual (Part Number T0178).
5.60 H.323 V2 Enhancements Vanguard Voice has been enhanced to include H.323 Version 2, which provides a
  new range of features and enables the use of Gatekeepers for call control. New
  features include:
  • Fast connect – Mimics PSTN speed of a call connection, a weakness of
  H.323 V1
  • H.245 – Provides the necessary signaling to a Gatekeeper to support call
  control
  • Indirect call control – A standard telephone applications feature used in
  standard telephone applications, such as calling cards or pre-paid accounts
  where the caller is directed to enter DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency)
  tones for security and billing purposes.
  • H.323 Facility messaging – Allows for call redirection, for example to voice
  mail systems.
  Block Alerting - This feature is specific to a PRI to E&M application. The
  E&M interface sends the alerting and connect messages at the same time.
  • E.164 Address Registration: The H.323 Version 2 Motorola gateway now
  supports the registration of E.164 numbers with the gatekeeper for phones
  connected directly to the gateway. This feature helps to expand the Vanguard
  interoperability capabilities with Cisco. Cisco utilizes the registration of an
  E.164 address. The E.164 address registration feature is applicable only with
  FXO/FXS interface types. The E.164 address registration can be configured
  on either a voice port or a virtual voice port. The phone number used in the
  Local Subscriber Address parameter is registered as E.164 numbers.
  • Alternate Gatekeeper: If the primary Gatekeeper goes down no calls can be
  made. This has an impact on both Infrastructure and application Gatekeepers.
  With this feature the Vanguard products are able to provide more redundancy
  by redirecting calls to a secondary or backup gatekeeper. This feature is
  available in 5.4P0KA
  • Clear Token Support - This is an important feature when using the NetSpeak
  Gatekeeper. This feature allows source based routing and custom dial plans to
  be implemented across domains and provide a 50% increase in routing
  performance when routing calls sourced out of domain. In the absence of the
  NetSpeak Clear Token, the destination side gatekeeper must reroute the call
  upon receipt of a setup. This feature is available in 5.4P0KA.
  • Can_MAP_Alias - This feature allows an infrastructure NetSpeak gatekeeper
  the capability to manipulate the dialing plan. The effected scenarios are:
  EVERY call model where a Vanguard Gateway is the source of a call and
  resides on an infrastructure (direct-mode) Gatekeeper and the gatekeeper is
  configured to do digit conversion. The Vanguard gateways support the feature
  on both source and destination gateways. The destination gateways would
    only work with E.164. This feature is available in 5.4P0KA
5.60 BSC 3270-to-LLC2 (SNA) Conversion for the Vanguard 6455 The Vanguard 6455 is a flexible, RISC processor-based multiservice router that
  provides increased performance and enhanced capability through high-speed
  interfaces for bandwidth-intensive LAN/WAN applications. An enhancement to the
  Vanguard 6455 Series is the addition of BSC 3270-to-LLC2 (SNA) Conversion.
  This feature is available in the SNA+ Applications Ware License for the Vanguard
    7300 Series and Vanguard 6455.
5.60 Intranet Virtual Private Network (VPN) for LAN Connection Intranet VPNs allow secure VPN connections to be enabled within a corporate
  Intranet. This feature is available in the Security Applications Ware License for all
    Vanguard products.
5.60 Frame Relay Loopback Detection When using Vanguard products the frame relay ports do not detect a condition in
  which transmit data is looped back to its received data. As a result, the Vanguard is
  unable to activate a backup link when the primary link is disrupted by an external
  loopback. The FRI port cannot detect the loopback condition when it receives a
  STATUS ENQ message. The FRI port automatically switches to bidirectional mode
  and responds with STATUS messages. The Vanguard does not realize the link is
  loopbacked when receiving STATUS messages in response to its own STATUS ENQ
  messages.
  Release 5.6 includes a new parameter option called DTE_ONLY. DTE_ONLY
  prevents the DTE from switching to bidirectional mode and causes incoming
  STATUS ENQ messages to be ignored. When the link does not receive a STATUS
  message in response to its ENQ message, it declares the link down and causes the
  backup to be activated. For more information about Frame Relay Loopback
    Detection.
5.60 FRF.12 Enhancements (Voice Header Insertion) The Motorola Vanguard Series of products supports Frame Relay Fragmentation
  Implementation Agreement 12 (FRF.12). Release 5.6 introduces an additional
  parameter called Voice Header Insertion, located in the FRI Station Record
  Parameters.The Voice Header Insertion parameter controls the presence of the Voice
    Header in front of voice packets.
5.60 Simple Network Management (SNMP) for Quality of Service (QoS) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for Vanguard products
  provide SNMP functionality to Quality of Service configuration and statistics
    parameters.
5.60 RTP Header Compression w/Cisco Interoperability RTP Header compression is available today on the Vanguard series products and the
  implementation is compliant with the written standards. What is being delivered in
  this 5.6 release is a version that will inter-operate with Cisco’s proprietary
  implementation over Frame Relay. Cisco only supports RTP header compression
  over Frame Relay links configured for “cisco” encapsulation. In Release 5.6 a new
  “CENCAP” encapsulation mode has been added to support inter-connection with
  cisco nodes running “cisco” Frame Relay encapsulation and RTP header
  compression. CENCAP encapsulation should only be used on Frame Relay links
  when interoperability with a cisco node and RTP header compression are required
    over Frame Relay.
5.60 Duplicate IP Address Detection The 5.6 Duplicate IP Address Detection is used to detect if the same IP address has
  been configured on multiple IP devices on the same LAN. A new parameter has been
    added to the IP Interface Configuration Menu called Duplicate Address Detection.
5.60 New Motorola 56167 Chip for the Vanguard Voice Daughtercards The Motorola 56166 DSP chip is no longer available. It has been replaced by the
  Motorola 56167 DSP chip. Existing Daughtercards are supported from a software
  perspective. The software solicits the DSP model type from the hardware and
    configures the software and DSP accordingly.

6.1R000 Vanguard 7300 Series Software Performance - Annex G Annex G performance can be increased by 40 percent with proper tuning. Release
  6.1 and greater includes a new parameter called Window Subtractor. The window
  subtractor parameter changes the point in the receive window that the layer 3
  acknowledgment is to be sent when there are not any packets to send in the reverse
  direction. The acknowledgment is sent when the number of packets equivalent to the
  W Packet Window minus theWindow Subtractor has been received. If theW packet
  Window is 32 and the window subtractor is 8, the layer 3 acknowledgment is sent
  once 24 packets have been received.
  Setting the Window Subtractor to a non-zero value when INL or INL+INLB are set
  has no impact on the functionality of the routing loop detection feature of INL. It
  only effects functionality when the layer 3 acknowledgment is sent. If INL is
  specified and the subtractor is zero, the router uses the previous setting of 2. If INL+
  INLB is specified and the subtractor is zero, the router will send an
  Acknowledgment for every packet received. This is also what occurs if INL or INLB
  are not specified and the subtractor is zero.
  You should increase the value of the subtractor when you are using high speed
  end-to-end connections or when path delays are unusually high. This sends the
  acknowledgments sooner so the remote window stays open and the remote node can
  continue to send data without being stopped (waiting for an acknowledgment).
  The "Window Subtractor" Value is dependent on the "W" (packet) window setting
  and interacts with many other settings and factors such as the speed of the line, the
  K (frame) window setting, circuit propagation delay, etc. Tuning can result in CPU
    utilization savings and higher throughput.
6.1R000 Annex G/X.25 Window Guidelines  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  These recommendations were determined in a controlled environment. In links with
  long delays adjustments may be required. A general rule would be to be bring the
  Window Subtractor value close to or equal with the “W’ Packet window. This
  effectively allows the acknowledgments to be sent out faster accommodating the
  added delay.
  The new Window Subtractor parameter is downward compatible with previous
  releases. It can be set independently at one end of the link without effecting the
  remote node that may not have this parameter. In addition to the recommendations in
  the table above the following two parameters should be always be set as shown
  below:
  • Data queue upper threshold = 15
  • Data queue lower threshold = 4
  Note
  The Vanguard 7300 W Packet Window parameter’s default has been changed
    from 2 to 7 in release 6.1 and greater.
6.1R000 Improvements in Reporting and Diagnostics - All Products This feature adds reporting and diagnostic enhancements. Release 6.1 and greater
  allows up to 20 alarm to be displayed in the Fatal Error Report (FER). The alarms are
  now organized to provide more useful information. There is a new Alarms Throttling
  feature that controls the number and levels of generated alarms, similar to the Trap
  Throttling feature. CSU/DSU alarm capturing history is shown in port statistics.
  Alarms are generated when DSU signals change (NIS, BPV, DL, C+, C-, RS, LL,
  CL, IDL, CLK). For more information, refer to the Alarms and Reports Manual
    (Part Number T0005) and Vanguard Basics Manual (Part Number T0113).
6.1R000 H.323 ISDN PRI/BRI Supplementary Services Support - All products Release 6.1 provides transparent support for H.323 ISDN PRI/BRI for Voice over IP,
  Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) and SoTCP. PBX supplementary service messages
  and information elements are passed transparently over H.323. The passing of
  Supplementary Service does not operate with third party equipment. This feature
  operates with Vanguard products only. For more information about H.323 ISDN
  PRI/BRI Supplementary Services, refer to the Vanguard Voice Manual
    (Part Number T0104-05).
6.1R000 Multiple IP Ping (Remote Ping) Multiple IP Ping allows you create a maximum of ten ping entries. This created
  ping record is stored in CMEM. For a description of the new parameters, refer
    to the Vanguard Basics Manual (Part Number T0113).
6.1R000 Vanguard 6435/6455 and 7300 Series ISDN PRI AT&T 4ESS Switch ISDN PRI AT&T switch type 4ESS is now supported in the Vanguard 7300 Series
  and 6435/6455 platforms. For more information, refer to the Vanguard Voice Manual
    (Part Number T0104-05).
6.1R000 Vanguard 6435/6455 and 7300 Series Calling Number Currently incoming ISDN PRI data calls on Vanguard 6435/6455 and 7300 Series
  can be connected to a virtual port based upon the Called Party Number in the call
  setup message. This feature adds the option of connecting an incoming call based on
  the Calling Party Number. The calling number virtual port is used when a PRI
  interface has a single phone number associated to it, not individual phone numbers.
  This feature is used for data calls. For more information, refer to the Vanguard Voice
    Manual (Part Number T0104-05).
6.1R000 Serial over TCP (SoTCP) Support for X.25 Interrupt Packets Serial over TCP (SoTCP) now supports X.25 Interrupt Packets by forwarding
  Interrupt and Interrupt Confirmation packets received. For more information
    refer to the Serial Protocol over TCP Manual (Part Number T0100-06).

6.1R000 Set the Chassis Version Settings When upgrading a 7300 Series Version 1 to release 6.1.R000 or greater, you must set
  the chassis version setting. If the setting is incorrect (for example, when a CPU card
  is swapped from one chassis to another of a different version) the interface cards will
  not be recognized by the node in the correct physical slot location. Incorrect settings
  can be fixed by setting the software Chassis Version through the ZAP diagnostics
  menu.
  Note
  Units shipping from the factory with Release 6.1.R000 or greater will have the
  version set to match the chassis. Release 6.1.R000 or greater software is
  recommended for Vanguard 7310 and 7330 Version 2.
  Verification
  Verification can be done by checking the Chassis Version printed at the top right of
  page one of the Detailed Node Statistics.
