Aethra AC2036 Technical Specifications

Multiservice ShDSL Network Termination Device
Flexible
Multiservice ShDSL terminal with E1 and
serial interface (up to 2048 kbps)
Convenient and cost-effective
Substitutes outdated leased-line network
equipment with inexpensive and highly
scalable network infrastructure
Reliable
Provides ATM Circuit Emulation Services (CES),
with up to eight independent channels,
over E1 and serial interfaces
AC203x is a family of highly
flexible Network Termination
Units that connect directly
a DTE with Serial and/or E1
interface to an ATM network
through a ShDSL line.
AC2036 and AC2037 models,
respectively 2-wire and 4-wire,
provide two different operating
modes, E1 Cell Bridging
and Frame Relay to ATM
interworking functionalities.
Configurable connectivity
AC203x family offer flexible ShDSL Network Termination
Points with different operating modes:
• ATM Circuit Emulation Service (CES)
• Frame Relay to ATM Interworking
• Cell Bridging to transport ATM cells between the ShDSL
network interface and the E1 service interface
• Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM)
High-performance digital subscriber line access multiplexer
(dslam) transmission
AC203x, connected to a DSLAM, terminates the ShDSL and
many other xDSL links. AC203x cross connects and
concentrates up to 128 Virtual Circuit Connections (VCC) over
a single or a dual high speed link to the backbone ATM
network, reaching up to 4608kbps (4-wire mode). Deploying
an inexpensive and highly scalable network infrastructure
using AC203x replaces obsolete DCE, HDSL transceivers, TDM
cross-connects, and other leased line network equipment.
