The DataSMART 486 and 488 support FrameVision Reporter software to deliver key performance measurements on individual customer circuits.

The DataSMART 488 integrates voice and data traffic onto a single E1/FE1 line.

With in-band management and local Ethernet connectivity, the DataSMART 486 and 488 can be managed easily from a remote or local site. The management system can be located anywhere on the business network.

Verify Frame Relay performance

DataSMART Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs help you isolate circuit availability problems and measure round-trip delay from DSU to DSU.

You can see the exact time a service outage occurred and how long it lasted, to determine if it was an isolated incident or a chronic problem.

You can monitor bandwidth utilization at the port and virtual circuit to deter- mine the right bandwidth to meet your application requirements.

Advanced management and diagnostics

The DataSMART DSU/CSUs have advanced management features that enable you to take active control of your network, such as in-band SNMP management and an integrated Ethernet port. Comprehensive E1 diagnostic tools help you identify and resolve performance issues in the Frame Relay local loop before they affect service. With the DataSMART, you can remotely configure your units, and receive SNMP traps for important network events.

Standards-based Management

The DataSMART embedded SNMP agent supports SETs, GETs and Traps, as well as standard MIBs, such as MIB II and the E1 MIB. And for compre- hensive control, an enterprise MIB supports all available functions. These MIBs are available on the ADC Kentrox web site (www.kentrox.com).

DataSMART Installer for Windows

Free with each unit, DataSMART Installer software is an intuitive, Windows-based utility that dramatically reduces setup time.

Alarms Utility

Downloadable free from www.kentrox.com, Alarms Utility monitors the entire network for inter- face and device errors, posting them to the event log in an HP OpenView management system. Customer icons uniquely identify all ADC Kentrox devices for easy recognition by the Network Node Manager.

DSU, 486, E1, FE1, 488 specifications

Kentrox Communication Service Units (CSUs) are essential components in modern telecommunications, facilitating the connection of end-user equipment to carrier networks. Among the notable models are the Kentrox 488, FE1, and E1/486, each offering unique features and capabilities tailored to different operational needs.

The Kentrox 488 CSU is designed for T1 line interfaces, providing robust performance with advanced features that enhance network reliability. One of its main characteristics is its ability to perform loopback testing, which is crucial for troubleshooting and maintenance. The device includes integrated diagnostics, allowing for real-time monitoring of line status and quality. With an LED display and simple controls, the 488 ensures easy management and configuration.

The FE1 CSU represents a step forward in flexibility and scalability. This unit supports multiple E1 interfaces and is designed to accommodate a variety of network topologies. A key feature of the FE1 is its ability to handle frame relay and ATM protocols, making it suitable for a diverse set of applications. The enhanced error detection and correction mechanisms provided by the FE1 contribute to minimized downtime and improved service quality, ensuring that data transmission remains uninterrupted.

Next in line is the E1/486 CSU, which specializes in E1 line interfaces, making it ideal for European and international telecommunication standards. This unit is equipped with features intended to optimize network traffic with efficient bandwidth utilization. Its modular design allows for easy upgrades and expansions, accommodating evolving network demands. Furthermore, the E1/486 provides advanced alarms and notifications, enabling rapid response to any issues that may arise.

All Kentrox CSUs are designed with high-level security features, protecting data integrity and confidentiality. They often incorporate standard protocols such as SNMP for network management, ensuring that system administrators can effectively monitor performance and apply necessary adjustments in real-time.

In summary, Kentrox CSUs, including the 488, FE1, and E1/486, are integral to ensuring seamless communication between users and carriers. With their respective features centered on reliability, flexibility, and security, they cater to an array of telecommunication needs in today’s fast-paced, connected world. Their advanced capabilities help service providers deliver superior connectivity and maintain high-quality service standards.
