E1 access router over SDH

The FCD-IPD is a dual E1 main link router enabling shared E1 bandwidth over SDH or other E1 rings. The FCD-IPD dual E1 router is especially suited for management applications in SDH environments. In these applications, the FCD-IPD dual E1 router can manage up to 100 ADMs of different manufacturers over a single shared E1 or fractional E1 link, dynamically allocating up to 2 Mbps bandwidth to each node for high speed management.

The FCD-IPD dual E1 router supports alternative routing in the event of physical ring failure. It utilizes a specially developed proprietary routing protocol that can support up to 100 hops.

When configured as a bridge, the FCD-IPD dual E1 router can function in a ring topology, implementing the spanning tree protocol.

Supported WAN services are:

• Dual E1 main links, with or without LTU, operating at up to 2.048 Mbps
• Frame Relay with auto-learn of DLCI and maintenance protocol The integrated router supports:
• IP routing and transparent bridging
• Backup router link capability
• Quick setup and configuration

The E1 interface meets all requirements of ITU recommendations G.703, G.704, G.706, and G.732.

Setup, control, status monitoring, and diagnostics can be performed via:

• ASCII terminal connected to the async control port
• SNMP management
• Telnet
