Asante Technologies IC3524-2G, IC35516-T Benefits Minimize downtime and on-site spares inventory

backups and even inventory management. Benefits: Save time by scheduling remote maintenance tasks for all IntraCore switches.

►Simplified Parts Sparing

For mission-critical networks, just keep a few Asanté IntraCore switches and GBIC modules on-site. In the unlikely event of a failure, you can immediately swap in a replacement unit. Many parts (esp. GBICs, fiber ports and redundant power supplies) are common to all IntraCore switches—minimizing the number of extras you’ll need to keep.

Benefits: Minimize downtime and on-site spares inventory.

►Low-Cost, Redundant Power Supply

IntraCore 3548/35160/35516 switches all support an external power module to provide non-stop service in the unlikely event of a main power supply failure. This is especially important in aggregation switches and edge switches that support voice services over Ethernet/IP.

Benefits: Minimize downtime and improve network uptime.

►Consistent Management Interfaces

All IntraCore Layer 2 switches (3524, 3548, 35160 Series) share the same telnet, web, console, RMON and SNMP management interfaces.

Benefits: Learn to manage one IntraCore switch and you’re ready to manage all the rest.

►Consistent Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Interfaces All IntraCore switches support the same industry-standard Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) module with the same SC-type connectors. IntraCore switches can accept other GBIC modules and most other switches can also use the Asanté modules.

Benefits: Mix and match the exact GBIC modules for single mode or multimode fiber.

►IntraCare 3 Year Service—Included!

Every IntraCore switch is backed by Asante’s best warranty, support and service package. Everything is covered (including toll-free telephone technical support and software updates) for three full years. Benefits: Save your money; no need to purchase an expensive support contract.
