Transparent Ethernet Extender over Bonded T1/E1 Circuits
Product Description
The Model 2888 Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux is a managed Ethernet bridge
with two (2) Gigabit Ethernet ports and either two (2) or four (4) T1/E1
ports. The Inverse Mux transports jumbo Ethernet frames over bonded T1/E1
circuits using Multi-link PPP, creating up to an 8 Mbps transparent Ethernet
connection. Complete with Layer 2/3 filtering, Layer 2/3 traffic shaping and
Active Layer 2/3 QoS, the Model 2888 enhances an enterprise’s ability to
address the Wide Area Network (WAN) bandwidth requirements of most
Ethernet applications.
Who is it for?
The Model 2888 Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux is designed to bridge the Ethernet/IP bandwidth gap between a single
T1/E1 and a T3/E3. Bandwidth hungry applications such as database/Intranet, VoIP and surveillance video over IP that
need to be transported over the WAN will benefit from a resilient multi-circuit solution.
Position Statement
For enterprise IT Managers needing to bridge the
bandwidth gap between a single T1/E1 and a T3/E3,
the IpLink™ Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux transparently
transports Ethernet over bonded T1/E1 circuits.
Unlike solutions from Cisco and others, which are
difficult to configure, the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux
makes it easy to transparently pass ALL Ethernet
frames over the WAN while applying ACTIVE Layer
2/3 QoS, traffic shaping and filtering.
