General Properties
1.1. Description and requirements
EtherCon
TM-170.1 is a converter enabling the connection of independent Ethernet
10/100BASE – TX local network segments using the SDH or PDH telecom network based on an
E3 frameless signal at a transmission speed of 34368 kbit/s and with a ITU – T G.703
recommendation. The Ethernet interface data transmission speed may be limited to
•
n x 64 kbit/s , n = 1 to 32.
•
n x 1024 kbit/s, n = 3 to 32
Isolation network segment and increasing its output is possible thanks to an address filter.
Flow control pursuant to IEEE802.3x defines the method of transmitting frames in full duplex
manner in order to avoid overloading the converter.
The converter also transparently transmits longer than 1522 bite Ethernet frames which are
a part of the virtual networks in compliance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard or with the setting of
priorities IEEE 802.1p standard.
The converter is equipped with an SNMP agent. It is implemented with a version 1
(SNMPv1) SNMP and a TCP/IP set of protocols – TCP (Transmission Control Protocol, (UDP
(User Datagram Protocol), IP (Internet Protocol), ICMP (Internet Control message Protocol). The
converter also has TELNET service for remote configuration and monitoring.
With the aid of the built-in SNMP agent identification of the device on the SNMP
managed equipment networks with standard management platforms i.e. HP OpenView and it is
also possible to view the device’s MIB bases elements.
The unit’s MIB base is compliant with RFC 1213 requirements.
The converter also supports a proprietary LANWIN – LNMP as application management
protocol.
