Ethernet Network Interface Unit
Intelligent Ethernet Management Platform
For Ethernet services to fully deliver on the promise of lower costs and higher reliability, remote
management of the network becomes essential—especially as subscriber numbers increase.
Remote isolation of troubles and performance monitoring are minimum requirements for carrier-
class Ethernet service.
Service providers can now create an intelligent Ethernet management platform with ADC’s
Ethernet Network Interface Unit (ENIU). Installed at the remote premises, the ENIU provides
the demarcation point between the customer and carrier network. By providing the ability to
sectionalize the network at the customer interface, the ENIU enables the carrier to remotely assess
whether trouble conditions reside within the carrier or customer network.
Benefits:
•
Saves operations time by limiting
technician dispatch for troubleshooting
and turn-up.
•
Reduces network downtime through
proactive network management
via remote access for testing and
performance monitoring.
•
Enables quicker service restoration
through single end testing of signal.
•
Increases network availability by
accelerating network trouble repair cycle.
•
Easily integrates Ethernet network
management into existing operations by
mirroring current maintenance practices
for DS1/DS3 architectures.
•
Standards-based solution allows
interoperability with switches, routers and
test equipment.
Features:
•
Supports in-band remote signal loopback
for troubleshooting and testing as
well as remote failure indications and
link monitoring for checking service
performance.
•
Features UTP (RJ45) or SFP-based optical
connections for customer and carrier
interface.
•
Loss of power “cut through” ensures that
electrical signal integrity is maintained on
RJ45 interfaces if power to the unit is lost.
•
Configurable to 10Mbps or 100Mbps
Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet on carrier
and customer demarcation sides.
•
Bandwidth can be port limited in 1Mb
increments.
•
Includes enclosed carrier-side interfaces
with LED performance indicators on the
front of the unit.
•
Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ah™ First
Mile standards for OAM.
•
Accepts –48Vdc or AC power.
