Connection List/IP

The IP menu contains the parameters for exchanging IP data with the PPP peer. Static routes can also be created from here for IP dial-on-demand appli- cations.

IP/Mode

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

Setting to On (def) will permit this connection profile to negotiate PPP IPCP with the PPP peer for exchanging of IP packets.

IP/NAT

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

The Express XL/XLT can perform Network Address Translation. This feature is most widely used when connecting to the Internet. The Ethernet network can consist of private network numbers. When this profile is connected, all IP addresses on the Ethernet side are translated into the one real IP address ne- gotiated with the PPP peer (ISP). Multiple stations on the Ethernet side can ac- cess the Internet simultaneously. See the section IP/NAT on page 43 for more global options. Setting this option to On will cause the Express XL/XLT to perform NAT. In the Off (def) position, the unit will route across the connec- tion normally.

IP/Route

The IP parameters are configured in this menu. Adjusting these parameters is only necessary for certain dial-on-demand applications. Usually the Express XL/XLT will automatically discover the PPP peer’s networks using PPP IPCP and/or RIP.

Express XLT, Express XL specifications

ADTRAN has established itself as a leading provider of telecommunications solutions, and among its impressive lineup, the ADTRAN Express XL and Express XLT stand out as robust offerings designed for the evolving demands of modern networks. These devices cater to service providers and enterprises looking to enhance their broadband delivery capabilities while ensuring cost-efficiency and reliability.

The ADTRAN Express XL is a high-capacity, next-generation fiber optic access platform. It is engineered to support a wide array of technologies, including Passive Optical Network (PON) standards such as GPON and XGSPON. 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.
