The FCM9004 is an advanced Ethernet Access Demarcation Device (EDD), alternatively known as a 'Network Interface Device' (NID), with extensive provisioning tools and SLA verification functions enabling Performance Assured Ethernet (PAE) services.
The FCM9004 offers rich functionality for the Carrier or Ethernet Service Provider at the price point necessary for large scale deployment.
MetroCONNECT supporting Multiple Ethernet Demarcation Devices
This application shows an MC12000 with FCC9000 twin Ethernet modules, supporting multiple FCM9004 Ethernet Demarcation Devices (or EDD's, otherwise known as Network Interface Devices or NID's). The MetroCONNECT and FCM9004 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.
FCM9004 delivering Ethernet services from an MPLS core netrwork
This application shows an FCM9004 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 FCM9004 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.
FCM9004 units performing Ethernet service demarcation
This application shows how a pair of FCM9004 units can be used to offer Ethernet service demarcation and media conversion functionality over a copper Carrier Ethernet service.
The FCM9004 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. The FCM9004 offers extensive SLA measurement and verification functionality, which along with the Carrier Ethernet OAM functionality means that customer service levels can be assured.
The FCM9004 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. Y.1731 and advanced wirespeed SLA measurement and verification functionality offers Performance Assured Ethernet (PAE). The development roadmap includes support for IEEE802.3ad with LACP.
The FCM9004 is a highly manageable Ethernet Demarcation/Network Interface Device (EDD / NID), offering cost-effective copper & fibre demarcation for Carrier Ethernet Service Providers.
- Support for 802.3ah Link OAM (EFM) and 802.1ag Service OAM (CFM) enables Ethernet service management and monitoring right up to the customer delivery point
- Y.1731 performance monitoring and advanced wirespeed SLA measurement and verification functions offer Performance Assured Ethernet (PAE)
- Comprehensive circuit commissioning and in-service monitoring using the custom "MetroSAM" service assurance management architecture
- The "MetroSAM" service assurance monitoring funcitonality consists of custom hardware capable of offering high performance whilst also offering programmable Layer-2 and Layer-3 packet types to bypass third party OAM-filtering NTUs
- In service measurements enable continuous SLA verification to be performed without affecting customer data
- Per-flow loopbacks mean that services can be provisioned without affecting any existing services
In line with all other members of the MetroCONNECT Ethernet Service Delivery family, the FCM9004 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 FCM9004 operates in store and forward mode and supports RSTP and the transmission of 10k byte Jumbo frames. The FCM9004 supports auto-negotiation, and auto MDI/MDIX cross-over switching on the copper interfaces.
To ensure quick fault isolation, the FCM9004 supports Link State Forwarding, whereby a fault on the network connection can automatically force a link down on the customer ports to indicate to the attached devices that there is a Carrier service problem.
The FCM9004 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 FCM9004 can easily be rackmounted in either a 1U two unit rackmount kit, a 6U eighteen unit rackmount kit.
