Cost-Effective Ethernet Over DS3 Solutions With Carrier-Class Management Capabilities

Deliver Management and Service Intelligence to the Remote Customer Edge

Using the LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P in conjunction with the LoopStar 700 or LoopStar 722 delivers the greatest value to the customer, as the intelligent services and capabilities of the LoopStar 700 management suite can be fully leveraged at the customer demarcation point via a hub-and-spoke configuration. With a single LoopStar 722 or LoopStar 750 serving as the hub, up to nine LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P units can be deployed across a metropolitan area, an office park or up the risers in a multi-tenant building to deliver managed Ethernet services.

In this configuration, each of the LoopStar units can be managed in-band via a management VLAN or out-of-band via Ethernet. The management suite’s remote management capability allows carriers to extend IP management visibility all the way to the remote customer edge. From a single operator viewpoint, a full range of performance statistics, loopback diagnostics, cable integrity testing, and differentiated service definition allows the carrier to remotely manage and provision each individual LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P without ever having to touch the unit itself. Customers can be managed remotely and new services can be turned up quickly and easily without any truck rolls, providing huge operational savings.

The LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P also offer two hands-off cable tests—one for the DS3 uplink and one for the customer’s Ethernet connection using a built-in Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR).

Applications:

•Ethernet-enable an existing SONET ADM

•Back-to-back Ethernet over DS3 facilities

•High-speed Internet access

•Storage Networks

•Voice over IP (VoIP) or TDM voice interconnect
