backups and even inventory management.
Benefits: Save time by scheduling remote
maintenance tasks for all IntraCore switches.
► Simplified Parts Sparing
For mission-critical networks, just keep a few Asanté
IntraCore switches and GBIC modules on-site. In
the unlikely event of a failure, you can immediately
swap in a replacement unit. Many parts (esp. GBICs,
fiber ports and redundant power supplies) are
common to all IntraCore switches—minimizing the
number of extras you’ll need to keep.
Benefits: Minimize downtime and on-site spares
inventory.
► Low-Cost, Redundant Power Supply
IntraCore 3548/35160/35516 switches all support an
external power module to provide non-stop service
in the unlikely event of a main power supply failure.
This is especially important in aggregation switches
and edge switches that support voice services over
Ethernet/IP.
Benefits: Minimize downtime and improve network
uptime.
► Consistent Management Interfaces
All IntraCore Layer 2 switches (3524, 3548,
35160 Series) share the same telnet, web,
console, RMON and SNMP management
interfaces.
Benefits: Learn to manage one IntraCore switch and
you’re ready to manage all the rest.
► Consistent Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Interfaces
All IntraCore switches support the same
industry-standard Gigabit Interface Converter
(GBIC) module with the same SC-type connectors.
IntraCore switches can accept other GBIC
modules and most other switches can also use
the Asanté modules.
Benefits: Mix and match the exact GBIC modules for
single mode or multimode fiber.
► IntraCare 3 Year Service—Included!
Every IntraCore switch is backed by Asante’s best
warranty, support and service package. Everything
is covered (including toll-free telephone technical
support and software updates) for three full years.
Benefits: Save your money; no need to
purchase an expensive support contract.
