The CT-590/591 WAN Access Routers are ideal Leased Line solutions for multiple users at small/home offices, or remote/branch offices, to provide high-speed data access. For LAN connection, the CT-590 and CT-591 have one 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port.

For WAN connection, the CT-590/591 routers have different WAN interfaces. The CT-590 has one V.35 port, which can operate with an external CSU/DSU for a Leased Line solution. The CT-591 has an FT1/FE1 with a built-in CSU/DSU. It is a more economic and spaces efficient solution for users who require a T1/E1 connection.

• Multiple options for WAN connection Provides T1/E1, and V.35 ports; enabling flexibility for WAN connection
• Economic and space efficient solutions Provides software selectable FT1 or FE1 ports with built-in CSU/DSUs, which allows users to directly connect to an E1/T1 network, whilst saving the expense and space of an external CSU/DSU
• Supports bridge and router mode In bridge mode, the CT-59x supports transparent bridging, spanning tree protocol (STP), and VLAN pass- hrough, which enables the device to accept VLAN frames. In router mode, it supports static route, and RIP v1/v2
• Supports advanced routing functions Supports NAT/PAT, DHCP, DNS-Proxy, and home page redirect. The most comprehensive NAT can support Pool-to-Pool Mapping and H.323 pass-through for NetMeeting, CuSeeMe, and ICQ
• Easy to manage and maintain Web-based and Telnet management, and an embedded SNMP agent, to simplify local and remote operations, and to simplify maintenance
• Firmware upgradeable Provides configuration backup, restoration, and firmware downloading via TFTP
