Key Benefits
In today's fast-paced world of global commerce, flawless communication is critical to success. The Madge Networks family of wide area networking solutions offers a comprehensive suite of products that help you evolve your network to global proportions—without sacrificing your existing investment.High Performance
The Madge AccessSwitch is a high-capacity, high-performance network access and
switching system available in several expandable and nonexpandable models. The
AccessSwitch family is priced to suit the needs and budgets of varying sizes of
multiservice networks for video, data, and voice applications.
Powerful Software Control
Madge AccessWare,™ the AccessSwitch's powerful operating system and network
management software, enables the AccessSwitch's unique architecture to deliver
reliable, scalable, and highly available solutions for wide area networks, while
setting a new standard in price performance for enterprise-wide networking and
corporate communications centers. AccessWare permits the AccessSwitch to mix and
match interfaces and integral multipoint videoconference control units (MCU).
AccessWare provides full port and network switching for all connections, and
also permits support for 80 blocking or 44 non-blocking T1s on the AccessSwitch
and up to 72 channels of high-speed inverse multiplexed ports.
Through AccessWare's extensive dial plan and call handling capability, it allows flexible network access to switched and dedicated networks, while offering a wide range of protocol and service conversions. This allows network connections to be established on a call-by-call basis over the most economical routes. AccessWare network management enables control and provisioning of networking resources, alarm collection, troubleshooting, and problem resolution. AccessWare also collects call detail records for departmental billing.

Reliable, Scalable Systems
The AccessSwitch 200 and AccessSwitch 60 slotted hubs are chassis-based systems
that accept plug-in modules for expansion. The AccessSwitch 200 is a 20-slot
chassis with 19 slots available for expansion; the AccessSwitch 60 is a six-slot
chassis with five slots available for expansion. Modules include digital network
interface modules for T1, ISDN Primary Rate, and E1 Primary Rate; high-speed
synchronous data modules with or without inverse multiplexing; ISDN Basic Rate
interface modules; and MCU. The AccessSwitch modular, hot-insertable module/
backplane system allows users to tailor each configuration according to
application and bandwidth requirements without down time or service
interruption.
The AccessSwitch architecture has several levels of redundancy making it self-healing and able to prevent single points of failure in the network. Because AccessWare software supports the most globally dominant network protocols, such as ISDN1, Euro ISDN, 4ESS, 5ESS, DMS100, and DMS250, the AccessSwitch demonstrates its self-healing nature transparently each day through route and reroute diversity, carrier and POP diversity, and access diversity. Through AccessWare's call handling capability, the AccessSwitch slotted hubs can split and/or crisscross loads with another AccessSwitch simultaneously, and between different carriers. This capability provides the highest successful call completion grade of service in the industry. AccessSwitch slotted hub hardware supports multiple integral multipoint controller (MCU) modules, load sharing trunk modules, and load sharing, hot swappable power supplies. The combination of power, flexibility, and reliability make the AccessSwitch the best choice for a wide area networking platform.

Economical Networking
The Madge AccessSwitch 20 is a standalone, small footprint, non-expandable
network access and switching base unit available in several preconfigured
versions. The AccessSwitch 20 is ideal for distributed networks at remote
locations, such as branch offices, or separate floors of multistory buildings.
It is also available in a nonswitching, inverse multiplexing-only configuration.
It can be configured for T1, ISDN Primary Rate and Basic Rate service.
