Bay Networks CV1001001 Advanced Remote Node 19" Rackmount 10Base-T AUI Serial

Bay Networks CV1001001 Advanced Remote Node 19" Rackmount 10Base-T AUI Serial

The Bay Networks CV1001001 is a 2U 19" rackmount Advanced Remote Node — a WAN access routing platform designed to connect remote offices and branch sites to a central network over serial WAN links. It combines LAN-side Ethernet connectivity (both 10Base-T and AUI) with modular WAN interface support, a built-in console port for local management, and a modem port for out-of-band access. The unit was manufactured in the United States and carries UL, CE, and GS certifications.

Applications

The Bay Networks Advanced Remote Node is a mid-1990s branch-office routing platform from the era when Bay Networks was one of the dominant enterprise networking vendors before its acquisition by Nortel in 1998. Remote node devices like the CV1001001 were deployed at branch offices and remote sites to provide WAN connectivity — via serial interfaces such as T1, fractional T1, or leased lines — back to a central hub router or access concentrator at corporate headquarters. The LAN side connects to the local office Ethernet segment via 10Base-T or AUI (for attachment to thick Ethernet or media converters), while the modular WAN slots accept line-interface cards for the specific WAN circuit in use. The console and modem ports allow local and remote out-of-band management, a standard requirement in enterprise WAN deployments of that era. Today, these units are sought by network engineers maintaining legacy Bay Networks or Nortel campus and WAN environments, collectors of 1990s enterprise networking gear, and labs working with period-correct network equipment.
