integrated Multiservice Access Platform

CFC56

AT-TN407-A Central Fabric Controller module – 56Gbps

Allied Telesis’ iMAP family of integrated
Multiservice Access Platforms

CFC56

Carrier Grade Controller

The CFC56 controller module, available for use
with the iMAP 9400 and iMAP 9700 chassis
groups, is a new advancement in controller card
capability and size supporting 10 Gigabit
aggregation speed. As network bandwidth
continues to grow, Service Providers find
increasing bandwidth demands farther in the
local loop. The ability to maintain a single IP
infrastructure to address Network Transport
bandwidth as well as last mile access bandwidth
is pivotal for any network operator.

The CFC56 provides unmatched flexibility for
the aggregation of bandwidth-intensive
applications and services including the delivery
of IP Triple Play over any media (Fiber, Copper
and xDSL) as well as Carrier Ethernet services
to residential and business customers. It
continues to support the carrier-class
capabilities from the Allied Telesis CFC family
(CFC12 and CFC24) in addition to increased
switching capacity and the enhanced QoS
capabilities.

With support for multiple 10 GE and 1 GE
connections, the CFC56 enable the iMAP
platforms with unprecedented capabilities for
the delivery of user services as well as network
traffic aggregation. The CFC56 is ideally suited
for delivering GbE services to any Enterprise or
business location relying on last mile fiber
access. With advance features including per
VLAN rate limiting, the 10 GE ports can be
used as either as network interfaces for
subtended remote locations, aggregation into
Metro routers (Provider Edge) or for point-to-
point connectivity to a strategic business. This is
in addition to allowing the service provider to
have up to 17 different service modules in the
iMAP for delivering value-add next-generation
broadband services and applications.

When used in conjunction with the iMAP 
GE8 line card installed in the Resource Module
slots of an iMAP, a pair of GE8 modules can 
be used to subtend up to 8 EPSR

TM

rings

providing an extremely flexible, reliable and
dense aggregation point from any network
location. If point-to-point aggregation links are
required, the GE8 service module card provides
cost effective and feature rich aggregation to
any GbE network element. As network designs
continue to blend the line between Access 
and Transport, the CFC56 will become a key
component of any IP Triple Play and Carrier
Ethernet network design

Part of Allied Telesis’ IP Broadband
Access Family

Whether it is Metro Ethernet, broadband
ADSL2+, FTTH or POTS, the iMAP family is
the ideal platform for last mile service delivery.
Added to the ability to support 100% of the
available iMAP service modules, the CFC56 has
also been designed to survive the most rugged
environmental conditions. This makes it perfect
choice for networks which require high
flexibility and carrier capabilities anywhere in
the operators’ network.

Provisioning, management and diagnostics of
subscriber ports can be accomplished from
either the iMAP command line interface or via
the Allied View NMS. The CFC56 also has a
fully supported SNMP interface and supports all
the major MIBs.
