XLR 560R Application Example

Extended Ethernet services to sites using existing copper infrastructure

Service providers and Enterprises can offer symmetrical broadband connectivity for transparent Ethernet services, DSLAM backhaul, Wireless backhaul and other applications. By leveraging, existing copper services and using the unique EFM bonding technology, the XLR 560 can bond up to 4 pairs, and deliver up to 45Mbps of Ethernet to users within the service area.

Increased flexibility in deployment

The XLR 560 operates mainly over a point-to-point configuration. It can be configured as either a COE or CPE device allowing one unit to operate in two modes.

Lower CAPEX and a quick return on investment

With a compact form factor and optimised for use over an existing copper network, the XLR 560 reduces the initial investment and deployment time in delivering higher speed Ethernet service. It provides low risk and a quick return on investment.

Comprehensive and easy OAM&P functions in provision and management

The XLR 560 implements the IEEE 802.3ah standard and a vendor extended management features. It enables users to significantly reduce operating expenses as its based on standard Ethernet technology and it eliminates major technology upgrades. The XLR 560 is compatible with any standard Fast Ethernet interface from switches, routers, and SONET / SDH equipment.

The fast Ethernet interface enables the XLR 560 to work as a smart Ethernet demarcation device as well, which is required between the customer interface (UNI) and provide separation between the carrier WAN and Enterprise LAN by monitoring network status and operation at the customers site.

Management

The XLR 560’s management includes a comprehensive command line interface (CLI), userfriendly GUI-based web browser interface and SNMP and Telnet.

Future-proof Ethernet traffic management and QoS features

The XLR 560 provides future-proof features meeting Ethernet Quality of Service (QOS) and Class of Service (CoS) requirements by utilising 802.1q VLAN and DSCP capabilities, stacked VLAN (Q-in-Q), four levels of priority, traffic flow control and rate control. The traffic management and QOS features enable services providers to offer value added services for minimal cost.

Add 'Drop Configuration' supporting linear hop configuration

Easily extend Ethernet-over-copper connectivity with up to 30 hops without transmission delays (see application example opposite).
