Route/IP/Net

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

The PPP peer’s IP address or network can be set here, if known. Leaving this at 0.0.0.0 means that the Express XL/XLT will determine the PPP peer’s IP and network using the PPP IPCP.

Route/Netmask

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This network mask is applied to the IP/NET address for determining the PPP peer’s network. If left as 0.0.0.0, a standard network mask is used.

Route/Static Route Write security: 3; Read security: 5

When set to Yes (def), the Express XL/XLT will add the network defined above as an idle route in the IP routing table. When an IP packet is routed to this idle route, the Express XL/XLT will dial using this profile. When set to No, an idle route is not placed in the table. This is necessary for dial-on-de- mand applications and if the probe feature is not used.

Route/Private

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

When set to Yes, the Express XL/XLT will not advertise this static route entry. A setting of No (def) means any static route added for this profile is advertised using RIP.

Route/Hops

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This value is the metric or number of hops that RIP will use in advertising the static route. The range is 1 to 16 where 1 is the default. The value 16 is consid- ered an infinite distance in RIP and is, in effect, poisoning the route.

Route/Force IP

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

When set to Yes, the Express XL/XLT will force the PPP peer to use the IP ad- dress in the IP/Net for this profile as its WAN IP address. Normally this is set in the No (def) position.

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.
