Gigabit Ethernet with 1 +1 protection in network interface

Optical adapter GbE card is a 1+1 multiple optical transponder with 3R recovery to add redundancy in the network routing to GigabitEthernet  elements that do not have.

Switching between optical Interfaces is performed in less than 50ms, depending on the policies defined by management console: reversible, non reversible, forced switching, thresholds and switching power. The card auto-detect inserted optical modules, allowing to work on 1+0 configurations (two optical modules) and 1+1 redundancy.

Interfaces

AO GbE 1+1 has three optical interfaces: the first two relate to the network link. The second is correspond to the local link with the user element. The card acts as a boundary between the network user and network operator.

From the SNMP management system it is possible to monitor physical parameters of the interfaces as transmitted and received optical power, intensity of polarization of each laser (detection of premature aging) and the internal temperature of the modules.

Moreover, the facilities establishing loops in the three optical interfaces allow the detection of flaws and faults delimiting responsibilities.

Traffic generation

GbE adapter includes a block of generation and analysis of pseudorandom sequence (PRBS). This feature allows testing of fiber link without the need for external equipment involving disconnection of the fiber path. The network operator, from the remote console, can enable SNMP options generation and analysis for the three interfaces of the equipment.

WDM in band management

AO GbE 1+1 adapter, in combination with the AO-100 module and a WDM multiplexer, provide an in band solution on the same optical fiber that provides the Gigabit Ethernet service.

Thanks to this innovative TELNET solution, operators can access the remote computer without having to carry the traffic management along with customer data, or having a parallel network for the management.

Supported Chassis

This module is compatible with the entire family of SAE chassis: MicroSAE, TriSAE, MiniSAE and MetroSAE, supporting the hot insertion and extraction..
