1-2 CHAPTER 1: BRIDGE/ROUTER MODULE Typically, the Bridge/Router module is used to interconnect LANs running protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or Novell Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX). The module offers full LAN-to-LAN connectivity at speeds up to 64 Kilobits per second (Kbps) on each ISDN channel (128 Kbps in total) and up to 2 Megabits per second (Mbps) on the WAN port. The

Introduction 1-3 installation and rental of ISDN lines has dropped to the point where it is extremely attractive as regards cost and performance. Using ISDN to Support Leased Line WAN Circuits ISDN provides an ideal service to connect remote LANs. To be effective, the connecting bandwidth needed is at least 56 Kbps to achieve a realistic throughput. Slower speed links can be used but usually only when usage is low and infrequent, or if higher speed circuits cannot be
