Parallel TDM and Ethernet processing
The Megaplex-4100 features dual-star
connection architecture with hybrid TDM-
Ethernet modules, which allow native TDM and
Ethernet traffic handling with minimal
encapsulation delays and zero bandwidth
overhead.
Ethernet traffic is handled by a multiport
Gigabit Ethernet aggregation engine, designed
for Carrier Ethernet capabilities, such as flow-
based or port-based traffic management,
performance monitoring and Ethernet OAM.
Ethernet traffic can be terminated by any of the
following:
•
Fast Ethernet ports located on I/O modules
•
Internal Ethernet ports of I/O modules
•
Gigabit Ethernet ports
•
Ethernet over SDH/SONET
TDM traffic can be cross connected at a DS0
level, DS1 (framed/unframed) level, or SDH/
SONET (high/low order) level, with per-port
cross connect operation mode selection.
DS0 cross connect
The Megaplex-4100 features an internal DS0
cross connect matrix of up to 7,872 DS0
channels. Traffic from any channel can be cross
connected directly to any other channel.
These capabilities enable the Megaplex-4100 to
function as a service differentiation point at the
central office, handing off TDM voice and data
services to the transport network.
The device can also be deployed at remote
locations or the customer premises to effectively
fan out multiple voice and data services.
Next-generation ADM terminal
The Megaplex-4100 supports STM-1/OC-3 and
STM-4/OC-12 add/drop multiplexing for
grooming LAN and TDM traffic over SDH/SONET
networks. It eliminates the need for separate
ADM and multiplexer units for private networks
where voice, Ethernet and data services are
required.
By implementing VCAT protocols to carry
Ethernet traffic efficiently and minimize wasted
bandwidth, the Megaplex-4100 brings Ethernet
economics and packet switching efficiency to
existing SDH/ SONET infrastructure. It enables
utilities and other private fiber network owners
to reduce both OpEx and CapEx, while service
providers can leverage existing equipment to
support clear channel data streams and the
latest high bandwidth services.
Ethernet traffic can be mapped into
n x VC-12/VC-3/VC-4 or n x VT 1.5/STS-1/STS-3C
virtual containers.
Part of the AXCESS+ portfolio of multiservice
access and First Mile solutions, the Megaplex-4100
is a carrier-class, high capacity multiservice access
concentrator, for transporting legacy and next-
generation services over fiber or copper PDH/SDH/
SONET, or over packet switched networks (PSN).
Its ability to handle a broad range of Ethernet,
data and voice services, as well as a large variety
of network technologies in a single compact
managed node, makes the Megaplex-4100 an
ideal core/edge solution for carriers and service
providers. It also provides a perfect fit for large
enterprises, utilities and transportation
companies, who require an efficient way to
transport and provision multiple legacy and next-
generation services over their high capacity pipes.
As a multiservice access node, the Megaplex-4100
provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for
integrating various interfaces, data rates and user
services. These include Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet as well as low speed sub-64 kbps data,
serial n x 64 kbps data, high speed data up to
STM-4/OC-12, digital voice, analog voice, ISDN, and
additional industry specific interfaces.
Furthermore, the Megaplex-4100 functions as a
carrier-class TDM and Ethernet aggregator, as well
as a high capacity DS0 cross connect, as detailed
below.
