Getting To Know The Ies-1000; Features - ZyXEL Communications IES-1000 User Manual

This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your IES-1000.
The IES-1000 (Integrated Ethernet Switch) is an IP-based DSLAM (Internet Protocol Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer) that connects up G.SHDSL or ADSL subscribers to the Internet. When deployed together
with ZyXEL's DSL modems and WAN routers, the combination forms an integrated solution for providing
broadband services to multiple tenant units such as apartments, hotels, offices and campus buildings.
G.SHDSL is an acronym for Single-pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line. ITU-T G.991.2 defines the "G." in
"G.SHDSL". ADSL is an acronym for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
This user's guide covers the IES-1000 chassis, AAM-1008-61/63 and SAM-1008 network modules. See the
AAM-1212 User's Guide for information on the AAM-1212-51/53 network modules.

Features

Two-Slot Chassis
The IES-1000 has two slots that accept multiplexer network modules. The chassis design gives you the flexibility
to initially install a single module and then add another as demand increases.
Multiplexer Network Modules
Up to two hot-swappable multiplexing network modules may be installed in each IES-1000 chassis.
The SAM1008 (G.SHDSL Access Module) is an 8-port G.SHDSL multiplexer network module that aggregates
traffic from eight lines to an Ethernet port.
The AAM1008 (ADSL Access Module) is an 8-port ADSL multiplexer network module that aggregates traffic
from eight lines to an Ethernet port and has integrated splitters to allow voice and ADSL to be carried over the
same phone line wiring.
10/100 Mbps Auto-negotiating Ethernet Port
This 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet port connects the IES-1000 to an Ethernet network. With Ethernet as
the backbone, you can create a network that provides G.SHDSL and or ADSL service to hundreds of subscribers.
