MC12000 supporting Multiple Carrier Ethernet Demarcation / LAN Extension Devices
This application shows an MC12000 MetroCONNECT chassis with WCC3200 modules, supporting multiple WCM3200 Ethernet Extender over 2x Framed E3 or DS3 devices. The MetroCONNECT and WCM3200 together offer LAN Extension and Ethernet demarcation, with remote management via 802.3ah OAM. Various service delivery options are available including fibre, copper, and fibre plus copper over two Framed E3 or DS3 circuits. 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 Mini Jumbo frames.
WCM3200 delivering Ethernet services from an MPLS core network
This application shows an WCM3200 unit being used as the Ethernet demarcation device to deliver a Carrier Ethernet service from an MPLS core network. A wide choice of Ethernet connectivity is available for the user via the 10/100/1000baseT and SFP fibre ports. OAM support means that the WCM3200 can be remotely managed by the central network management system using standards based OAM packets. GFP is supported allowing single ended use with aggregation platforms in the core network.
WCM3200 units performing Ethernet service demarcation and media conversion
This application shows how a pair of WCM3200 units can be used to offer Ethernet service demarcation and LAN Extension functionality over two Framed E3 or DS3 circuits.
WCM3200 units performing aggregation of services on multiple sites
This application shows how VLANs can also be used to select which site to forward user data to, e.g. when using a WCM3200 unit supporting two E3 ports at a central site supporting up to two sites with WCM3100 each supporting one E3 port.
The WCM3200 is a member of the MetroCONNECT family, offering Managed LAN extension over either Clear- Channel or Fractional E3 or DS3 Wide Area Networks. The WCM3200 supports four locally switched RJ45 LAN interfaces, three of which are for 10/100Mbps connections and the fourth supporting 1Gbps. A further LAN interface is provided via an SFP port, offering the flexibility of a wide variety of fibre interface options. Over-sized Ethernet frames are supported.
Ethernet VLANs are supported, either by pass-through of existing Tags or by the Push and Pop of Tags on ingress and egress at Ethernet ports. Pre-embedded prioritisation schemes can be honoured, or alternatively prioritisation can be over-written under Management control. Bandwidth limitation per port and per prioritisation can be implemented, providing a mechanism for differentiated QoS for different services. Management is offered via each of Serial Terminal connection, Telnet, SNMP or Web Browser application. Management security is offered via SSH and TAC ACS+ authentication. Support is also offered for ‘Carrier Ethernet’ Link OAM Management (IEEE 802.3ah), enabling status information to be shared with connected equipment if required.
In line with all other members of the MetroCONNECT Ethernet Service Delivery family, the WCM3200 supports Metrodata’s ‘zero-touch’ installation process, eliminating the need for skilled resources for remote-site installations.
The WCM3200 supports integrated ‘Bit Error Rate Testing’ (BERT), an invaluable aid during both installation and subsequent troubleshooting. This facility enables integrity testing of the WAN link, prior to application of Ethernet traffic, eliminating doubt as to the location of connectivity problems.
Ethernet traffic is encapsulated by the WCM3200, for transmission over an E3 or DS3 link, using a number of optional schema including support for the ITU-T G.8040 standard ‘Generic Framing Procedure’ (GFP).The product can be used for Point-to-Point links, using two WCM3200 products joined via two ‘bonded’ terrestrial or wireless (e.g. microwave) WAN services, to provide seamless Ethernet bandwidth of up to ~90Mbps between two locations. Alternatively, the product can be used in conjunction with other members of the MetroCONNECT product family, including the WCM3100, WCM3400 and MC12000 Ethernet Service Delivery Chassis. As a small ‘Central Site’ aggregator, the WCM3200 may serve individual WAN links to two separate locations.
The WCM3200 is available in a choice of 100-250 VAC or -48 VDC integrated power supplies.
The WCM3200 can easily be rack mounted.
The WCM3200 is part of a wide range of LAN extension products from Metrodata.
