Transition Networks announced the launch of its newest network interface device (NID). The S3240 is specifically designed to help telecoms and cable providers generate and preserve revenues when delivering intelligent Ethernet services. With the growing demand for Ethernet services, the device enables service providers to offer tiered services with end-to-end service level agreements (SLAs). It creates a clear demarcation point between the provider and the customer network or in carrier-to-carrier handoffs.
The S3240 ensures rapid detection and isolation of potential service related problems. The ability to have trouble detection and resolution from a central network operations centre (NOC), reduces operating expense and results in a reduced mean time to repair (MTTR).
The NID supports up to 10 k jumbo frames and bandwidth allocation to limit upstream and downstream traffic. It offers complete Ethernet OAM support including IEEE 802.3ah (Link OAM), IEEE 802.1ag (Service OAM) and ITU Y.1731 (Performance Monitoring) to ensure visibility across the entire network. IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) allows service providers to offer different classes of services to customers as well as full VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) support, including double tagging (Q-in-Q – IEEE 802.1ad). Service providers are able to select the Ethertype of the S-TAG.
The S3240 was designed for SLA-enabled Ethernet services. It incorporates E-Line Services for point-to-point or multipoint-to-point connectivity between a main office and remote locations. The device incorporates advanced security features like SSL, SSH, multilayer access control lists, RADIUS and management VLANs, to prevent unauthorised access. An automatic failover mechanism is included in case of a fibre cut with a recovery time below 50 ms limiting any effect on customer traffic.
The S3240 operates in an extended temp range of -10°C to 65°C for backhaul applications using a.c. or 18-57 V d.c. power redundancy. It utilises a fanless design to increase reliability. Configuration, management and monitoring of the NID can be performed from a web browser, command line interface (CLI, via telnet or the console port), or with a third-party SNMP system.
