Overview

EdgeMarc 6400LF2

The EdgeMarc 6400LF2 converged networking router is an intelligent, all-in-one networking

solution for enterprises and service providers. It reduces costs by simplifying the deployment,

management and security of converged voice, video and data networks. The EdgeMarc

6400LF2 provides the following important functions for converged networks:

• Security

A stateful packet inspection firewall is used in combination with a voice over IP (VoIP)

application layer gateway to provide comprehensive “media-aware” security.

• VoIP

The 6400LF2 resolves NAT/FW traversal problems for SIP, MGCP and H.323 traffic. It

allows a single public IP address to be used for multiple VoIP clients. VoIP survivability is

also provided so that local SIP PSTN gateways are available for inbound and outbound

calling during WAN link failures.

• Quality of Service

The 6400LF2 maximizes WAN link utilization while optimizing voice quality using

prioritization and shaping.

• Call Quality Monitoring

The 6400LF2 provides passive call quality monitoring statistics for each VoIP call to

enforce SLAs and resolve networking problems that negatively affect call quality.

• Future-proof Scalability

The 6400LF2 is a powerful, flexible platform that can be deployed initially as a low-cost

WAN access router and then licensed through software for more advanced VoIP features

and increased call performance. It is the ideal platform for service providers offering DIA,

hosted VoIP and managed security services or enterprises migrating to converged voice

and data networks.

Feature Summary

VoIP

• SIP, MGCP and H.323 application layer gateway that allows a single public IP address

to be used for multiple VoIP endpoints

• VoIP survivability for local call switching to PSTN gateways during WAN link failures

(SIP only)

6400LF2 Converged Network Appliance Installation Guide

QoS

• Class based queuing/prioritization

• Diffserv marking and policing

• Traffic shaping

• VoIP call admission control prevents oversubscription of priority queue

Security

• Stateful packet inspection firewall

• VoIP aware firewall dynamically provisioning and closing of UDP ports used for VoIP

calls

• NAT/PAT server that hides enterprise LAN topology

Passive Call Quality Monitoring

• Per call statistics that include mean opinion score (average and minimum), jitter,

latency, and packet loss

• Alarms for poor MOS scores

• Active call count indicators

EdgeView 6400LF2

EdgeView is a sophisticated yet easy to use management tool designed to simplify the

management and monitoring of converged voice, video and data networks. It provides several

important features to service providers and enterprises using Edgewater’s EdgeMarc and

EdgeProtect Series products:

• Software image management and upgrade of Edgewater nodes

• Configuration backup and restore for Edgewater nodes

• Configuration of Edgewater nodes using an authenticated, central console

• Monitoring of VoIP call quality and related statistics

• Extensive trend analysis and reporting for items such as uptime, link utilization, call

quality, etc.

• Context sensitive, online troubleshooting tips linked to Edgewater’s real-time problem

resolution knowledgebase

• Monitoring of 3

party devices using SNMP

• Color coded node and group status information for quick identification of service

affecting problems

• E-mail notification of MOS alerts and node down events

• Multiple user accounts with administrator defined access level privileges

EdgeProtect 6400LF2

The EdgeProtect 6400LF2 is designed to protect managed VoIP service providers and

enterprise customers from network-based attacks. It combines topology hiding, dynamic

session admission control and stateful packet inspection to secure critical voice, video and data

infrastructure components.

6400LF2 Converged Network Appliance Installation Guide

In either service provider or enterprise environments, the EdgeProtect 6400LF2 is usually

installed at the edge of the operations center to secure critical voice, video, and data

infrastructure components such as VoIP softswitches, video gatekeepers, gateways, and

media servers.

• Resolves firewall traversal problems at the Network Operations Center for VoIP by

providing a VoIP application layer gateway (ALG) or voice and video aware firewall that

supports SIP, MGCP and H.323

• Resolves firewall traversal problems at customer offices for VoIP by providing NAT-

Traversal capability for SIP.

• Supports up to 1,000 concurrent VoIP calls or up to 85 Mbps of H.323 video traffic

• Protects the enterprise LAN using a stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall for both

voice and data traffic

• Performs static IP routing

• Provides integrated test tools to facilitate problem isolation

• Performs TFTP relay for IP phone images

• Uses a simple web based GUI for configuration and management

• Supports logging to external syslog servers and interfaces to network management

systems using SNMP

Mounting in a Four-Post Rack System

Remove the Chassis Handles

1. Remove two screws (Figure 2) from each handle.

2. Set the handles and screws aside for reattachment later.

Figure 1: Removing a Handle from the Chassis

6400LF2 Converged Network Appliance Installation Guide

Attach Brackets to Chassis

1. Place a chassis bracket along one side of the chassis in the front-mount

position (Figure 1, A).

2. Align the holes (B) in the bracket with the tabs (C) on the chassis and place the

bracket against the chassis.

3. Slide the bracket as far as it will go toward the front of the chassis.

4. Fasten the bracket to the chassis using screw (D).

5. In the same manner, attach a chassis bracket to the other side of the chassis.

Attach Brackets to Rear Posts

1. Attach a nut bar (Figure 5, C) on the inside of the two rear rack posts using

screws (A). Do not completely tighten the screws—leave them loose enough to

allow insertion of the brackets in step 2.

2. Insert the slotted foot of a rear bracket (B) between each nut bar and post.

3. Align the face of the bracket foot with the edge of the rack post and firmly

tighten the screws.

4. Install Chassis in Rack

CAUTION

Lifting the chassis and attaching it to the rack is a two-person job. If needed, use an

appropriate lifting device. A fully loaded SR1400 server weighs approximately 13.9 kg (30.6

lbs.) and a fully loaded SR2400 server weighs approximately 23.4 kg (51.5 lbs.).

5. With the chassis front facing you, lift the chassis and position the chassis disks

(Figure 6, A) so they fit in the rear brackets (B).
