Quidway® AR18-1x Series Routers

Quidway® AR18-1x Series Routers

Product Overview

Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers, developed by Huawei Technologies, are oriented to

small office home office (SOHO) users.
They include AR 18-10/18-12/18-13/18-15/18-16/18-18 models.

Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers provide users with diversified interfaces, including
the Ethernet interface, multi-protocol synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, AUX
port, ISDN BRI S/T and U interfaces, CT1/PRI interface, E1-F interface and VoIP
interface. The multi-protocol synchronous/asynchronous serial interface supports such
protocols as V.24 DTE/DCE, V.35 DTE/DCE, X.21 DTE/DCE, RS449 DTE/DCE and RS
530 DTE. You need to select appropriate cables for your desired interfaces. Quidway®
AR 18-1X Series Routers support flexible networking with PSTN/ISDN, frame relay, X.25,
digital data network (DDN), T1/E1, and other WAN technologies.

Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers provide abundant network security features,

including system network architecture (SNA), data-link switching (DLSw), VLAN, Bridge,
VPN and IP multicast. They also provide quality of service (QoS) and voice over internet
protocol (VoIP) features. Thus, this series can act as branch routers to work together with
other Quidway® series routers and as Ethernet switches to provide a comprehensive
end-to-end network solution for Internet service provider (ISP), large and medium-sized
enterprise users, and industry users in telecommunication, finance, taxation, and railway.

Product Features

Network Security
Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers provide abundant network security features, such as
firewall, packet filtering, network address translation (NAT), authentication, authorization
and accounting (AAA), and callback. Hence, you can select different security policies to
build enterprise networks.

Building a VPN
Intranet virtual private network (VPN) interconnects the geographically dispersed
branches of a company via public networks, as an extension and replacement of
traditional leased line networks and other enterprise networks. Access VPN provides
secure tunnels for small-sized users like SOHO to access the resources of company
headquarters via PSTN/ISDN. Extranet VPN extends the enterprise networks to the
business partners and clients, and enables different companies to communicate securely
and privately over the public networks. Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers are mainly
used at the access end of VPNs.

Dial Control Center
Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers provide perfect dial-in solutions and support two
dial-in modes, namely legacy DCC and dialer profiles. In addition, they support the link
layer protocols like point to point protocol (PPP), the network layer protocols like Internet
protocol (IP) and internet packet exchange (IPX); they have the capability of running
multiple dynamic routing protocols on the dial-in interfaces; they thereby can satisfy
various network topology requirements. The dialer profiles own more functions, and can
enable multiple dial-in users to share a physical interface via the dialer pool and make
different calls.

Reliability
The backup center technology can greatly enhance the network reliability. The
synchronous interface, asynchronous interface, CT1/PRI interface and ISDN BRI
interface implement line backup and provide high reliability.

Command Line Interface

The command line interface (CLI) of Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers can be
configured in common ways. No special training is needed for users.

2B+D Data Transmission

The AR 18-13/18-13V/18-15/18-18V has the built-in terminal adapter (TA) and provides
the ISDN BRI S/T interface or U interface for 2B+D data transmission.

T1/E1 Leased Line and PRI Dial-in Service

The AR 18-16/ 18-18/18-18V provides one CT1/PRI interface or E1-F interface. The
CT1/PRI interface can provide the bandwidth of up to N x 56 Kbps or N x 64 Kbps for
data transmission after being bundled into channel-groups. In addition, it can provide
remote users with the dial-in service after being bundled into a pri-group. The E1-F
interface supports only one bundle and does not provide the PRI dial-in service.

Chassis
Electromagnetic shielded plastic chassis, which the AR-1x Series Routers adopt, has not
only a smooth external appearance and small size, but also can effectively shield
electromagnetic interference from various sources to make the system work more stably
and reliably.
