Product Summary

RAD's FCD-IPD dual E1 router enables shared E1 bandwidth over SDH or other E1 rings. Typically used by carriers, utility companies and add-drop multiplexer (ADM) vendors, the FCD-IPD provides cost-effective central management of ADM and other SDH equipment, such as switches and multiplexers, in large, multi-node, multi-vendor SDH networks. FCD-IPD dual E1 router provides a flexible high performance cost-effective solution, eliminating the need for an expensive channelized router at the central site.

Benefits

• Facilitates large-scale IP VPN deployment to small and medium sized businesses • Bi-directional fault propagation quickly isolates errors• QoS for user traffic prioritization • Proprietary routing protocol supports up to 100 hops

Further Product Information

E1 access router over SDH

The FCD-IPD is a dual E1 main link router enabling shared E1 bandwidth over SDH or other E1 rings. The FCD-IPD dual E1 router is especially suited for management applications in SDH environments. In these applications, the FCD-IPD dual E1 router can manage up to 100 ADMs of different manufacturers over a single shared E1 or fractional E1 link, dynamically allocating up to 2 Mbps bandwidth to each node for high speed management. The FCD-IPD dual E1 router supports alternative routing in the event of physical ring failure. It utilizes a specially developed proprietary routing protocol that can support up to 100 hops. When configured as a bridge, the FCD-IPD dual E1 router can function in a ring topology, implementing the spanning tree protocol. Supported WAN services are: • Dual E1 main links, with or without LTU, operating at up to 2.048 Mbps • Frame Relay with auto-learn of DLCI and maintenance protocol The integrated router supports: • IP routing and transparent bridging • Backup router link capability • Quick setup and configuration The E1 interface meets all requirements of ITU recommendations G.703, G.704, G.706, and G.732. Setup, control, status monitoring, and diagnostics can be performed via: • ASCII terminal connected to the async control port • SNMP management • Telnet
