Functions as a SDH STM-16 add and drop multiplexer, providing flexible payload access to VC-11/VC-12, VC-3, VC-4 and VC-4-4c virtual containers.
- Both narrowband and broadband multi-protocol service requirements can be economically addressed
- Mix of 64 kb/s voice, data and teleprotection; E1, as well as Video and 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet
WAN services can be effectively integrated
Supports sub-network connection protection (SNCP) ring, multiple rings and spurs, as well as linear system topologies
- Guarantees maximum network deployment flexibility
1310 nm or 1550 nm Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver options
- Provides cost effective alternatives for fibre optic cable spans up to 120 kms (75 miles)
- Updated optical performance monitoring available through intelligent Digital Monitor Interface
Offers VC-12, VC-3, VC-4, VC-4-4c hairpinning
- Cost effective traffic tie between subtended STM-1, STM-4 or STM-16 TN1U rings
- Additional add and drop options provided at subtended ring tie sites
Two user configurable traffic images stored in FLASH non-volatile memory
- Supports VistaNET Alternate Traffic Routing (ATR) network management feature for critical outage
response.
- Configuration parameters maintained after a loss of power.
- Configuration data not lost during firmware upgrades.
Compatible packaging with STM-1 and STM-4 Aggregate units
- Simple migration from STM-1 or STM-4 to STM-16 system capacity, via Aggregate unit substitution
Local or remote unit configuration, performance monitoring and diagnostics with Windows-based PC
- Allows simple installation, ongoing management and maintenance of unit without expensive
workstations
Front panel LED status indicators
- Permit quick visual confirmation of a working unit, as well as effectively pinpointing the probable
causes of various unit alarm conditions.
Built-in test capabilities
