Router Applications

  1. HSSI router to E2 8Mbps G.703 leased line conversion
  2. Connecting pairs of HSSI routers over an E2 8Mbps G.703 leased line
  3. LM1100 SNMP Enabler used with Management Datalink to manage a pair of FM4850 units

FM4850 connecting an HSSI router to an E2 8.448Mbps leased line

This application shows an FM4850 connecting an HSSI router card to an E2 8.448Mbps leased line, such as a BT Megastream-8 service. HSSI serial ports are often the most cost effective high speed WAN port available on routers. Telecom carriers provision E2 8.448Mbps services with G.703 connectivity.

HSSI routers connected together via an E2 leased line using FM4850 units

This application shows a pair of FM4850 units connecting a pair of HSSI routers via an E2 8.448Mbps leased line, such as a BT Megastream-8 service. HSSI serial ports are often the most cost effective high speed WAN port available on routers. Telecom carriers provision E2 8.448Mbps services with G.703 connectivity.

LM1100 SNMP Enabler used with Management Datalink to manage a pair of FM4850 units

FM4850 remote management using LM1100 and datalink

This application show a remote network management centre controlling the head office FM4850 via an LM1100 SNMP Enabler card allowing comprehensive management access including the full range of configuration changes, diagnostics and status analysis using either SNMP or Telnet, including SNMP traps. In this application a remote management datalink has also been enabled to the remote FM4850 unit, allowing remote SNMP and Telnet access into this unit.

The FM4850 offers conversion between an HSSI serial interface and an E2 line interface with BNC connectors.

The FM4850 has several LEDs for displaying current status, plus comprehensive configuration and diagnostics via a menu driven user interface.

Using a dedicated management channel pairs of FM4850 units can communicate with each other, allowing configuration and status checking of the remote unit.

The optional Metrodata LM1100 SNMP enabler permits remote management via either Telnet or SNMP.
