Terminal Server Router Card

Overview

Overview

The Quad-Port Terminal Server Router (TSR) card combines the performance and expand ability of a selectable four-port RS-232 and 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch with dedicated routing functionality in a low-cost solution to help wireless service providers remotely manage cell site LMU and switching devices, and deliver routing capabilities needed to offer 3G applications services. The ability to remotely manage these cell site devices significantly reduces maintenance truck rolls costs, and enables the wireless service provider to focus their efforts on expanding their cell site coverage for increased revenues.

The TSR card employs a dedicated processor to ensure high performance and product feature expansion. A powerful set of standard features includes IP and IPX routing, Layer 2 bridging, ML-PPP, networking security and management capabilities to integrate services in the digital last mile. The four RJ-45 ports can be configured as either RS-232 or 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connections to support remote device management from the Network Operations Center (NOC) or 3G routed data applications services. The Axxius 800’s modular design supports up to eight TSR cards.

The TSR card is SNMP or Command Line Interface (CLI) manageable. Management connectivity is provided either by directly through the user data port connection on the TSR card, or through the DS1 or DS3 Controller cards as a component of the Axxius 800 platform.

Quad TSR with TBOS

The Quad-Port Terminal Server Router (TSR) card with TBOS-to-SNMP conversion, offers a fully integrated solution to convert and transport TBOS alarms. The TBOS data received on the TSR card’s RS-232 ports are stored and made available via SNMP GETs. Alarms from TBOS-monitored equipment are converted to SNMP traps and transported over the WAN DS0 to the Network Operation Center's SNMP Trap Manager. This eliminates the need for a separate TBOS alarm monitoring system for fixed microwave backhaul systems and reduces bandwidth expense. Up to 8 TBOS devices can be cascaded off a single TSR RS-232 port.
