• Comprehensive RMON and performance indicators;
• Compatibility with the DAC GE (from SW release 3.6).
DAC ES Plug-in
Figure 3-28.
Figure 3-29 illustrates basic operational blocks within the DAC ES. Four RJ-45
customer ports connect to an Ethernet switch, which provides the bridge/switch
and queueing functions between the ports and two transport channels. The gate
array (FPGA) provides signal framing and the interface to the backplane bus,
with software selection of the number of E1 or DS1 circuits (Ethernet data
capacity) used to transport the Ethernet traffic over each transport channel, which
may be on a RAC or DAC 155oM. The DAC ES MAC address register supports
4096 entries.
