STM-1/OC-3 Terminal Multiplexer
SDH/SONET
The STM-1/OC-3 interfaces are
user-configurable and provide a
high-quality and high-availability link as
well as performance monitoring of the
traffic path.
The STM-1/OC-3 link is supplied with an
SFP socket (see
Ordering
). It is strongly
recommended to order this device with
original RAD SFPs installed. This ensures
that prior to shipping, RAD has performed
comprehensive functional quality tests on
the entire assembled unit, including the
SFP devices. RAD cannot guarantee full
compliance to product specifications for
units using non-RAD SFPs.
The user can define the following
SDH/SONET clock sources:
• Internal
• Recovered from the STM-1/OC-3
interface, including automatic selection
based on SSM (Synchronization Status
Messaging)
• External E1.
FCD-155 features an optional 1+1 link
protection mechanism (unidirectional
MSP/APS) and SNCP path protection.
Maintenance capabilities include
user-activated local loopbacks and remote
loopbacks on the STM-1/OC-3 main link
and PDH tributaries.
ETHERNET
The 2-port 10/100BaseT or single-port
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces include a
built-in Ethernet bridge that supports
VLAN according to IEEE 802.1Q and
802.1p.
The 4-port transparent LAN extension,
without bridge functionality, creates a
total separation between customers, for
security. The maximum frame length is
2 kb.
The 10/100BaseT LAN interface features
autonegotiation for plug-and-play
Ethernet connectivity and complies with
IEEE 802.3/Ethernet V.2 standards. The
interface also performs VLAN stacking.
An optional Gigabit Ethernet interface
connects one LAN port to eight virtual
groups. This option extends LAN over
SDH/SONET networks with bridge
functionality. The maximum frame length
is 2 kb.
Ethernet traffic is mapped into
SDH/SONET containers using VCAT and
encapsulated with:
• Generic Framing Procedure (ITU-T
G.7041, ANSI T1-105.02), framed
mode
• Link Access Procedure for SDH/SONET
(LAPS) protocols following draft
recommendation ITU-T X.85/X.86.
Each user’s Ethernet traffic can be
mapped into SDH/SONET virtual containers
in any of the following ways:
• Up to 63 x VC-12, or 84 x VT-1.5
• 3 x VC-3/STS-1
• 1 x VC-4.
Ethernet traffic can be switched to
different bundles of virtually concatenated
VCs (up to 8 bundles) according to a
predefined group.
Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) is
implemented in compliance with the
G.7042 standard, which allocates
bandwidth according to Ethernet traffic.
SDH/SONET media transport basic
Ethernet packets of up to 1536 bytes for
connection to MPLS networks.
The Ethernet interfaces interconnect SAN
(Storage Area Networks) devices with
Ethernet packets of up to 2 kb.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) support
Layer 2 ring applications.
