Overview
Brief Introduction
Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Routers are developed independently by Huawei
Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huawei Technologies) for the
enterprise-level networks. Depending on the network size, Quidway AR 28-10/28-11
Routers can either be the core routers on the medium-and-small-sized enterprise
networks, or the access routers for the network branches on some large-sized
enterprise networks. Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Routers adopt modular design and
provide multiple MIMs (Multifunctional Interface Modules) and SICs (Smart Interface
Cards). In addition, they provide three types of host: AC-powered host, DC-powered
host and RPS-powered host. Therefore, Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Routers are
suitable for the application in the carrier-level networks, such as telecom
management networks and billing networks.
Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Routers adopt high speed PowerPC microprocessor and
the VRP (Versatile Routing Platform), a network operation system platform developed
by Huawei Technologies. Besides the benefit of simple configuration, VRP provides
rich network security features, and supports terminal access, SNA (Systems Network
Architecture)/DLSw (Data-Link Switching), VoIP (Voice over IP), IP multicast, and
abundant QoS (Quality of Service) features. Thereby, Quidway AR 28-10/28-11
Routers can operate together with other Quidway series routers and Ethernet
switches to provide overall end-to-end network solutions for the
medium-and-large-sized enterprises.
Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Router provides the following features:
High-performance processor
Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Router uses high-performance processor to process all the
integrated interface data integrated. All the performance indices, such as packet
processing capacity, maximum traffic on interfaces, delay, frame drop rate, restoration
period after the overloading of the system and system reset period, can meet users
requirements.
Multiple interface card/interface module options
Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Router provides 2 SIC slots, 1 MIM slot and dozens of SICs
and MIMs. The available interfaces include synchronous/asynchronous serial
interface, asynchronous serial interface, T1/cT1/PRI interface, E1/cE1/PRI interface,

BRI S/T and U interfaces, FCM (Fast Connect Modem) interface, 10/100Mbps
Ethernet interface (including circuit interface and fiber interface), FXO/FXS/E&M
interface, cE1/PRI voice interface, etc. The user can change or extend SICs or MIMs
as needed. Thereby, the investment that has been made can be protected to the
maximum degree.
Supporting voice function
The router supports multiple voice interface modules. The following interfaces are
provided: cE1/PRI, cT1/PRI and FXS/FXO/E&M, which can be connected to
telephone, FAX, and PBX. cE1/PRI or cT1/PRI interface can be connected to the E1or
T1 interface of PBX, interworking with GK and directly provide VoIP access. Due to
the adoption of high-speed CPU and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technologies, the
voice quality can satisfy users demands. If it is applied between the headquarters of
an enterprise and its branches, the cost of long distance calls within the enterprise will
be saved greatly.
Supporting multiple channels of asynchronous serial interface access
Connected to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) via the asynchronous
serial interface, the router can work as a small Internet access server.
With an analog Modem interface card (options: SIC-1AM and SIC-2AM), the
router can be directly connected to PSTN to serve as a small access server.
Providing Ethernet access solution
Through extending SICs and MIMs, Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Router can provide
multiple forms of Ethernet interfaces, such as fiber interface/circuit interface, 10Mbps
or 10/100Mbps auto-sensing interface. Thereby, the networking capability of the
router can be significantly improved.
Data security
Supports ID authentication protocols, including PAP (Password Authentication
Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), data RADIUS
(Remote Authentication Dial in User Service), and VoIP RADIUS.
Implements firewall to prevent invasions from external networks.
Supports VPN (Virtual Private Network, including GRE, L2TP) and provides
IPSec (IP Security) and IKE (Internet Key Exchange) technologies. Hence, the
security of the user private network in the Internet environment can be
guaranteed.
Provides backup solutions based on the backup center technology.
