OVERVIEW

These Network Extenders provide simple LAN connectivity across T1, Dual T1, DS3, E1, or E3 leased lines without complicated routers.

Transparent point-to-point connectivity

Use a pair of extenders in a point-to-point application to link two networks together—for instance, you can link the network in a remote office to your corporate network. The extenders are also ideal as a front end for an IP router, installed between your router and an ISP.

And because they’re totally transparent to your network, the extenders don’t affect the operation of your network devices.

Long-distance

Unlike ordinary DSL extenders which operate over copper wire that you own, Network Extender Kits operate over circuits provided by your telco. Because you’re using telco lines, your range is theoretically infinite. You can easily use one of these extenders to seamlessly link to a network across the country or even around the world.

High-speed reliable transmission

The T1 Network Extender operates over a single T1 line and supports selectable symmetrical T1 data rates up to 1.55 Mbps.

The Dual T1 Network Extender Kit doubles T1 throughput to 3.09 Mbps by sending data over two loop-bonded T1 lines.

For networks with even higher bandwidth requirements, the DS3 Network Extender provides an incredible 45 Mbps.

The E1 Network Extender works over a single E1 line and supports E1 data rates up to 2.048 Mbps.

The E3 Network Extender operates over one E3 line and sends data at E3 rates of 45 Mbps.

The extenders use a 100% packet-based IPacket™ compliant technology for optimum throughput and reliability.

Easy to set up

Network Extenders are easy to install—literally plug and play. Even the CSU/DSU is built in so you don’t need to buy a separate device.

To install the extenders, just verify that the extender’s CSU/DSU DIP switches are set to your configuration correctly, plug the extender into your Ethernet switch and your T1, Dual T1, DS3, E1, or E3 line, and you’re ready to go! LEDs signal that a connection is established and operational.

The extenders feature 10-/100-Mbps autosensing Ethernet ports—just connect it to your switch, and the extender auto- matically adapts to your network speed. An LED indicates whether 10- or 100-Mbps connections are made.

Each extender kit includes a single-port provider unit and a single-port subscriber unit. The provider unit is installed at the Central Office (CO) or “head end” of the connection and controls all configurable options. The sub-scriber unit is installed at the customer premise.
