The zNID 24xx Series (Zhone Network Interface Device) is a family of
indoor, full-featured gateways for residential installations. These next
generation zNIDs support GPON or Active Ethernet termination to meet the
demands of multi-service network deployments to the user.
With either GPON or Active Ethernet uplinks, the 24xx Series zNIDs deliver
data, voice, or video (IPTV) over fiber.
The 24xx series of zNIDs share a common software architecture with the
42xx and 9xxx series of zNIDs, including the same intuitive Web interface
and command line interface. The zNID can also be managed by the Zhone
Network Management System (ZMS) which uses SNMP. Software upgrades
and configuration backups can be handled automatically by the ZMS using
the EZ Touch management feature.
The zNID is a full-featured gateway supporting services such as DHCP
server, rate limiting, filtering, comprehensive logging, and more. The zNID
product line implements a very flexible QoS allowing the service provider to
guarantee that services are being prioritized correctly and the end-user
receives the Quality of Experience that is expected.
All 24xx series Single Family Unit (SFU) ONTs provide the same voice
features found on the 42xx series of outdoor residential SFU ONTs and the
9xxx series of Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) ONTs. SIP-PLAR signaling is
supported for connection via Zhone's Voice Gateway to traditional Class 5
TDM switches, while both MGCP and SIP are supported for direct connection
to a VoIP Softswitch. This flexibility allows Zhone's 9xxx, 42xx and 24xx
Series ONTs to work in nearly all Telco networks, with interoperability
support for a broad array of Softswitches.
Zhone's GPON ONTs are commonly are used in the 20km range with other
GPON ONTs in the distribution network, though can reach up to 60km
depending on the configuration of the optical distribution network (ODN).
