MetroCONNECT supporting Multiple Ethernet Demarcation Devices

MetroConnect supporting multiple Ethernet Demarcation devices

This application shows an MC12000 with FCC9000 twin Ethernet modules, supporting multiple FCM8000 Ethernet Demarcation Devices (or EDD's, otherwise known as Network Interface Devices or NID's). The MetroCONNECT and FCM8000 together offer Ethernet demarcation, with remote management via 802.3ah and 802.1ag OAM. 10/100/1000baseT or 100/1000baseX Ethernet services can be provisioned using copper service delivery. Comprehensive remote network management access is available via the MetroCONNECT including end to end remote management using 802.3ah OAM. 10M, 100M and Gigabit Ethernet applications can all be supported, as can Jumbo frames.

FCM8000 delivering Ethernet services from an MPLS core netrwork

FCM8000 delivering Ethernet services from an MPLS core netrwork

This application shows an FCM8000 unit being used as the Ethernet demarcation device to deliver a Carrier Ethernet service from an MPLS core network delivered via a copper service. 802.3ah OAM support means that the FCM8000 can be remotely managed by the central network management system using standards based OAM packets. Support for 802.1ag OAM means that service continuity can be constantly monitored.

FCM8000 units performing Ethernet service demarcation and media conversion

This application shows how a pair of FCM8000 units can be used to offer Ethernet service demarcation and media conversion functionality over a copper Carrier Ethernet service.


The FCM8000 is a highly manageable Ethernet Demarcation Device (EDD) offering low cost 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet demarcation and service delivery via copper or fibre network infrastructure. Carrier Ethernet OAM functionality means that customer service levels can be assured.

The FCM8000 supports 802.3ah Link OAM (EFM) and 802.1ag Service OAM Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) which means that the Ethernet service can be managed and monitored right up to the customer delivery point. The development roadmap includes support for IEEE802.3ad with LACP.

In line with all other members of the MetroCONNECT Ethernet Service Delivery family, the FCM8000 supports Metrodata's "zero-touch" installation process, minimising both on-site installation time and the Engineering skills required. Our unique "IP proxy over OAM" functionality reduces on-site installation to a "plug and play" exercise, simply checking that Ethernet link-up LEDs indicate correct physical connectivity. Comprehensive Telnet and/or SNMP remote management is available to the device via an IP proxy process across Layer-2 OAM traffic from an MC12000 Service Delivery chassis or another MetroCONNECT family device at the network centre, with no need for layer-3 (IP) parameters to be assigned locally. If required, individual configuration can be subsequently downloaded via TFTP.

The FCM8000 operates in store and forward mode and supports RSTP and the transmission of 10k byte Jumbo frames. The FCM8000 supports auto-negotiation, and auto MDI/MDIX cross-over switching on the copper interfaces.

To ensure quick fault isolation, the FCM8000 supports Link State Forwarding, whereby a fault on the fibre will automatically force a link down on the copper port to indicate to the attached device that there is a link problem.

The FCM8000 is available in a choice of 100-250 VAC or -48 VDC integrated power supplies, although a 12V-24V DC version is also available on request.

The FCM8000 can easily be rackmounted in either a 1U two unit rackmount kit, a 6U eighteen unit rackmount kit.
