Quidway® AR18-1x Series Routers

Quidway® AR18-1x Series Routers

Product Overview

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

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

Quidway® AR 18-1X Series Routers provides users with diversified interfaces, including
the Ethernet interface, multi-protocol synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, AUX
port. 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, frame relay, X.25,
digital data network (DDN), 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. They also provide quality of service (QoS) 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 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.

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.
