Lucent Pipeline 220 P22-T1-V35-ASA T1 V.35 WAN Router Dual 10BT Firewall VPN

Lucent Pipeline 220 P22-T1-V35-ASA T1 V.35 WAN Router Dual 10BT Firewall VPN

The Lucent Pipeline 220 is a WAN access router designed for small to mid-size offices requiring simultaneous T1 and V.35 serial WAN connectivity alongside integrated firewall and IPSec VPN capabilities. This unit carries the P22-T1-V35-ASA configuration code, indicating the T1 RJ-48C primary WAN port, the V.35 secondary WAN port, and the ASA (firewall/VPN) feature set. Built under the Lucent Technologies Bell Labs Innovations brand, the Pipeline 220 was one of the more capable small-office WAN routers of the mid-to-late 1990s.

Applications

The Pipeline 220 was sold by Lucent Technologies (Bell Labs) as a branch-office and small-business WAN router during the mid-to-late 1990s, when T1 leased lines and ISDN were the dominant wide-area connectivity options for businesses. With two WAN interfaces — a T1 port for primary connectivity and a V.35 serial port for secondary or backup WAN links — the unit supported load-sharing and failover scenarios common in that era. The dual 10Base-T Ethernet LAN ports allowed it to serve two separate network segments or a combined LAN. The ASA feature set added packet-filtering firewall and IPSec-based VPN functionality through Lucent's SecureConnect software, enabling encrypted site-to-site tunnels at a time when VPN hardware was far from commoditized. The Pipeline series competed with products from Ascend Communications (which Lucent later acquired), Cisco, and 3Com in the small-office WAN router market. Today, Pipeline 220 units are sought for legacy network lab environments, WAN protocol testing, and collectors of late-1990s networking equipment.
