Benefits
Easy ETTx Deployments
The ZyXEL ES-2108-F is an active Ethernet ETTx deployment solution aiming for service providers, as well as
cable, utilities and municipality operators. With the capability of converged data, voice and video services,
the ES-2108-F can act as a customer premise equipment placed in homes and small offices/home offices
(SOHO) to deliver the hottest services.
The highly flexible design of ZyXEL ES-2108-F adapts to different environment to simplify fiber
installations. Since it accepts the latest 100BASE-BX (bi-directional) fiber transceiver capable of transmitting
with single strands of fiber, the transmission capacity can be expanded immediately without additional
cost while maximizing the value of existing fiber plants. For legacy fiber environments, the ES-2108-F also
takes 100BASE-FX/LC transceivers to ease the deployment. In addition to fiber uplinks, the ES-2108-F comes
with 8 100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN ports with full wire-speed Layer 2 switching function as well.
Secured Service-level IP TV & VoIP Operations
Service quality of IP TV and VoIP is the key to success; as such the ES-2108-F comes with proven QoS and
VLAN functions to ensure smooth operation. In terms of QoS, the ES-2108-F comes with 4 priority queues
and the WRR/SPQ scheduling mechanism to perform traffic prioritizing for multi-service applications, and
DSCP can be applied to an end-to-end QoS environment. In terms of the hottest IP TV service, the ES-2108-
F also supports MVR to work with IGMP snooping that empowers commercial IP TV deliveries. In addition,
Fast Leave is also supported to eliminate streaming quality disturbance while users surf between different
channels.
Standardized Services Empowered by Service-aware VLAN
Since the 256 static VLAN entries on ZyXEL, the ES-2108-F sufficiently satisfy the growing need from
services, video, VoIP and data access identification purposes, it is ideal for converged networks to deliver
multiple services. In addition, the complete range of 4 K PVID offers the best flexibility for VLAN
configuration. In term of bandwidth management, the ES-2108-F allows a wide range of choice and
granularity of bandwidth options.
Strengthened Service Management and Control
The ES-2108-F supports 802.3ah operation and administration (OAM) standard to facilitate device
management, and EMS supports remote device management as well. In addition, command line interface
(CLI) and text-configuration are also offered to enable more effective network management.
