out-of-band ADM management over SDH or IP chain applications
Single 10/100BaseT LAN interface or an
integrated four-port switch
Enables shared E1/fractional E1
bandwidth over SDH or other E1 rings
Supports spanning tree protocol
Proprietary routing protocol supports
up to 100 hops
The FCD-IPD is a dual E1 main link router,
enabling shared E1 bandwidth over SDH or other E1 rings. The FCD-IPD is especially suited for management applications in SDH environments. In these applications, the FCD-IPD can manage up to 100 ADMs of different manufacturers over a single shared E1 or fractional E1 link, dynamically allocating up to 2 Mbps bandwidth to each node for high speed management.
IP routing
Supports Frame Relay and PPP
The FCD-IPD supports alternative routing in the
event of physical ring failure. It utilizes a specially developed proprietary routing protocol that can support up to 100 hops.
DHCP server
Ring topology capability
Quick setup and configuration
Inband and out-of-band remote
management
When configured as a bridge, FCD-IPD can
function in a ring topology, implementing the spanning tree protocol.
SNMP and Telnet support
Supported WAN services are:
Dual management authorization levels
(carrier/user)
Dual E1 main links, with or without LTU,
operating at up to 2.048 Mbps Frame Relay with auto-learn of DLCI and maintenance protocol
The integrated router supports:
IP routing and transparent bridging
Backup router link capability
Quick setup and configuration The E1 interface meets all ITU requirements: ITU G.703, G.704, G.706, and G.732.
Flexible management options
Setup, control, status monitoring, and diagnostics can be performed via:
ASCII terminal connected to the async control
port SNMP management Telnet
The FCD-IPD supports an internal SNMP agent
and can be controlled by any generic SNMP station or by the RADview SNMP network management application. Maintenance capabilities include user-activated local and remote loopbacks. The FCD-IPD is available as a standalone unit for the desktop or a 19-inch rack shelf.
