Lucent Technologies Stinger FS+ guide

In addition, the Stinger FS+ chassis and components are built on the same operating system, enabling inherent switching awareness by all components of any Stinger product. So, if you add or replace a card, it is easily configured and automatically becomes part of the Service Intelligent Architecture.

Performance from robust routing—Routing functionality is distributed across every routing card. By making each its own routing engine and lowering reliance on costly, or unreliable, centralized routing devices, Stinger FS+ improves the overall robustness of your networks. In addition to greater flexibility in how your network is deployed, you get added backup and redundancy.

Definitive Quality—Not only does the FS+ architecture have exceptional quality, with no single point of failure and integrated loop testing, it also features Automatic Protection Switching (APS)/Multiplex Section Protection (MSP). This compelling redundancy feature enables the Stinger FS+ to work with Stinger’s sister architecture, the AnyMedia® Access System, to transport both voice traffic and DSL data in a fail-safe manner.

Multiple levels of redundancy—With Stinger FS+ you also benefit from exceptional built-in redundancy for mission-critical business xDSL, including:

•APS/MSP for 1:1 trunk port redundancy with hot standby and sub-25 millisecond switchover

•1:n subscriber port redundancy and independent 1:n switching of failed ports

•1:1 trunk port redundancy and network node failure recovery via PNNI/Soft PVCs

•Multiple trunks to enable protection and to accommodate diverse facilities

•Hot-swappable subscriber and trunk modules

•Distributed power system with redundant line filters

Support for advanced applications—You will find that today’s and tomorrow’s most advanced applications work easily, supported by:

•IP multicast for broadcast audio/video, interactive TV, video on demand/pay-per-view

•Subtending of multiple systems in support for over 31,000 xDSL ports in a single switching group

•Gigabit Ethernet and OC-12 bandwidth to the backbone

•IP backhauling and traffic offload

•Private virtual routing and secure tunneling

•Management of all traffic per ATM Forum Traffic Management 4.0 specifications for UBR, CBR, and VBR rt/nrt

Advanced operations features—The Stinger FS+ also features:

•Integral loop qualification & metallic testing capability under remote control

•Automated VC provisioning via PNNI/Soft PVCs

•Automated end-to-end provisioning with the TurnUp™ CPE configuration and management tool

Stinger portfolio meets every need

The Stinger FS+ chassis supports a choice of optional modules that perform line testing functions:

Path Selector Module (PSM)—The PSM provides the full functionality of a Line Protection Module (LPM) in addition to loop test access. When the PSM is used in conjunction with a redundant LPM, it provides access from an external copper loop tester to any subscriber line attached to a Stinger chassis.

Copper Loop Test (CLT) Module—In addition to supporting access for an external test set, the Stinger system also offers its own integrated test module. The CLT module consists of a PSM with an integrated test head on a daughterboard. The CLT performs a wide variety of copper loop testing and qualification functions, simplifying DSL deployment for carriers.

The Stinger FS+ and the entire Stinger family of DSL access concentrators, CellPipe™ products, and Integrated Access Devices (IADs) remain today’s products of choice for Broadband Access solutions. Lucent DSLAMs fit any size need. You can choose from architectures for central offices (CO’s) and remote terminals (RT’s). Lucent access concentrators can be placed in indoor and outdoor cabinets of all types and sizes, whether in buildings or outside on the curb.
