Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU Access Multiplexer Universal
9
The Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU
obtains fault-management and
performance information by
monitoring the path overhead of
each virtual container (VC). Alarm
information is filtered and displayed
locally, then transmitted to the
management-center database. When
equipped with an Alcatel-Lucent
TransLAN Card, the Alcatel-Lucent
1655 AMU also stores Ethernet-specific
performance information.
Using adapter cards, service providers
with existing Alcatel-Lucent 1643
Access Multiplexer (AM) and Alcatel-
Lucent 1643 Access Multiplexer Small
(AMS) systems can enjoy additional
savings by reusing option boards from
those systems.
