Benefits
Easy ETTx Deployments
ZyXEL's ES-3124, ES-3124F and ES-3124-4F are a series of carrier-class L2+ managed access
switches. With robust performance in network resiliency, QoS, IP multicasting and security, the
ES-3124 Series is the ideal solution for cable, utilities or municipality operators and service
providers to adopt in Active Ethernet ETTx deployments.
ES-3124-4F and ES-3124F both support 4 GbE SFP slots for establishing fiber rings to offer
better network resiliency, while ES-3124F has 24 100BASE-X SFP open slots for superior fiber
aggregation capability. ES-3124F can be combined with ES-2108-F to form an end-to-end fiber
access solution. All above models support the latest single fiber transceiver (BX type) for
better system flexibility and easier fiber installation.
Robust and High-Availability System Design
As an alternative power source, BPS prevents the system from total blackouts caused by
internal AC power supply failures, and IEEE 802.3ad Link aggregation also reduces network
downtime by providing more packet paths and performs bandwidth aggregation on critical
paths. The 4G uplink not only provides superb bandwidth, but also forms a high-resiliency ring
topology, which greatly improve network uptime and stability.
Secured Service-Level IP TV & VoIP Operations
The ES-3124 Series comes with proven QoS and VLAN functions to ensure smooth operation.
For instance, QoS features like multi-layer (L2/L3/L4) ACL, eight priority queues, DSCP and WFQ
scheduling algorithm all maximize bandwidth usage and improve network service quality,
while MVR and IGMP snooping enables effective IP TV multicasting. In addition, Fast Leave
eradicates streaming quality disturbance when users surf between different channels, and
bandwidth control with granularity of 64 kbps brings better bandwidth administration to
network operators.
