Introduction and Specifications
SC-IP Applications with Ethernet Switching
The SpectraComm Ethernet Switches (SC-ES 9-Port or SC-ES 18-Port switch) are designed for use
in the Carrier's internal management network and complements the SC-IP's router and LAN-X
operations. A SpectraComm Ethernet Switch card extends NEBS-compliant, switched Ethernet
connectivity to the Carrier's remote sites.
SpectraComm Ethernet switch provides the following benefits in a SC-IP application:
•
Eases network congestion on existing shared-hub network traffic by breaking up the collision
domain, thereby dramatically increasing network performance.
•
Eliminates unnecessary network traffic by delivering dedicated bandwidth for each port. LAN
equipment at the remote site can be connected to the SC-ES using 10/100Base-T LAN
connections.
•
Provides port statistics and configuration features that are usually associated only with high-
end, fully managed switches.
•
Can operate stand-alone or cascaded with more SC-ES cards to satisfy the port density
requirements for your network applications.
