negotiate PPP IPCP to exchange IP packets. However, if a device can only sup- port PPP BCP, IP packets are encapsulated by the device as bridge packets. The Express XL/XLT can treat the WAN IP Bridge as a virtual Ethernet port connected only to a WAN device which has negotiated PPP BCP. This menu allows the IP parameters for this virtual Ethernet to be setup.

WAN IP Bridge/Network

Write security: 2; Read security: 5

This is the IP address of the virtual Ethernet port.

WAN IP Bridge/Netmask

Write security: 2; Read security: 5

This is the network mask to be applied to the virtual Ethernet port.

WAN IP Bridge/Triggered

Write security: 2; Read security: 5

When set to Yes, only IP RIP updates are sent when the routing table has changed. When set to No (def), updates are sent periodically. RIP version, method, and direction are determined by the Ethernet parameters set in the Configuration/IP/IP Router/RIP menu.

WAN IP Bridge/Proxy ARP

If this option is set to Yes (def), the Express XL/XLT will proxy ARP on the bridge IP port. See the section IP/Proxy ARP on page 46 for an explanation of the proxy ARP function.

Bridge/WAN IPX Bridge

When IPX routing is active, the Express XL/XLT will allow another WAN de- vice to bridge IPX packets to it using PPP BCP. Normally, two IPX routers would negotiate PPP IPXCP to exchange IPX packets. However, if a device can only support PPP BCP, IPX packets are encapsulated by the device as bridge packets. The Express XL/XLT can treat the WAN IPX Bridge as a vir- tual Ethernet port connected only to a WAN device which has negotiated PPP BCP. This menu allows the IPX parameters for this virtual Ethernet to be set- up.

The Express XL's architecture allows for seamless scalability, making it a perfect fit for both small-scale deployments and expansive network rollouts. What sets it apart is its ability to deliver ultra-fast broadband services to residential, business, and mobile backhaul customers with its impressive throughput capabilities.

On the other hand, the Express XLT builds upon the success of the Express XL by incorporating advanced features aimed at maximizing operational efficiency. It supports technologies including Active Ethernet and offers flexible network configurations to meet specific service requirements. Both models utilize ADTRAN’s innovative Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation technology, which dynamically allocates bandwidth to users based on real-time demand, ensuring optimal performance and user satisfaction.

A key characteristic of both ADTRAN Express XL and XLT is their energy efficiency. Designed to minimize operational costs, these units use power-saving technologies that reduce energy consumption without compromising performance. Furthermore, they include built-in support for network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN), providing operators with the agility to adapt their networks in response to changing market conditions.

In addition to their advanced technological underpinnings, the Express XL and XLT boast an intuitive management interface, simplifying network monitoring and management tasks. They also feature comprehensive telemetry and analytics capabilities that help operators gain insights into network performance, optimize configurations, and troubleshoot potential issues before they affect end users.

Ultimately, the ADTRAN Express XL and Express XLT are pivotal components for service providers aiming to deliver high-speed broadband services effectively. With their blend of flexibility, scalability, and energy efficiency, these access platforms are well-positioned to meet the current and future demands of telecommunications networks worldwide.
