successfully exchanged video
with an outside client. No
audio signals were exchanged.
With NetMeeting, the operation
of the client was intermittent.
Using CU-SeeMe, incoming
calls were not accepted. Once a
default workstation’s IP address
was configured on the NET-
GEAR RT328 ISDN Router,
an incoming call was accepted;
however, the client behind
the router did not receive a
video signal.
Ramp Networks says the
WebRamp 410i currently
supports CU-SeeMe versions
up to 3.0. When using CU-
SeeMe, clients behind the
WebRamp 410i were unable to
receive video from their remote
partners. No audio signals were
exchanged and incoming calls
were not accepted. The
WebRamp 410i currently
supports CU-SeeMe versions
up to 3.0.
Graphical User
Interface (GUI)
Evaluation
When compared to competing
ISDN routers, 3Com’s LAN
Modem required the fewest steps
when configuring a basic
Internet connection using the
GUI. Configuration of the 3Com
LAN Modem was facilitated by
a built-in HTML Web server,
embedded in firmware, which
allows the device to be managed
in-band from any network sta-
tion equipped with a standard
Web browser. Test results show
that the 3Com LAN Modem’s
browser-based GUI can be used
to configure all of the features
tested. See figure 2.
The Pipeline 75, Cisco 776
ISDN Access Router and NET-
GEAR RT328 ISDN Router
required the installation of pro-
prietary GUI software on the
management station. These
products do not offer GUI
support for all features tested.
Ascend did not offer technical
support for the Pipeline 75’s
GUI; Ascend recommends con-
necting the unit to a PC with
either a serial or crossover
Ethernet cable and running a
command line interface (e.g.
Hyper Terminal, Telnet).
The Pipeline 75 GUI consists
of separate setup and monitor
utilities. Data call parameters
for the Pipeline 75 are available
through the Monitor GUI.
Manual calling for the Pipeline
75 is supported through the
command line only. The Cisco
776 ISDN Access Router has
two GUI interfaces: FastStep
and ConfigMaker. Both offer
support for setup, configuration
and monitoring. The Tolly
Group tested the FastStep
utility. Configuration of NAT is
supported on the Cisco 776
ISDN Access Router but the
user must step through the
FastStep utility in order to
enable or disable it. FastStep
does not allow a user to view
workstation settings; however,
subsequent to the completion of
testing, Cisco said that such
functionality is available in
CiscoView and Resource
Manager Essentials. The Web
Ramp 410i supported all the
features tested through its
HTML browser interface.
