Chapter 3. System Overview
Power Supply Protection
• Protection is hitless for an NCC power supply failure. If the NCC converter or one of
its supply rails fails, the NPC will take over without interruption. And vice versa.
• With an NPC installed, the NCC can be withdrawn and replaced without further
impacting traffic.
• For 24 Vdc operation two PCCs are required for platform protection, one each for the
NCC and NPC.
Eclipse Licensing
Eclipse is subject to capacity and feature licensing.
Feature Licensing applies on selected features. Currently six features available.
• EZF-01: Layer 1 Link Aggregation (DAC GE). Traffic is between the links on a
byte-by-byte basis, based on the capacity of the links. Unlike L2, it is fully effective
for just one active session, such as between routers, or where there are only a few
concurrent sessions.
• EZF-02: Adaptive Modulation. Eclipse adaptive coding and modulation (ACM)
dynamically switches between QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, or 256 QAM. Code settings
additionally provide two sets of rates for each modulation; one for
maximum-throughput, the other for maximum-gain, to provide eight modulation
states in total.
• EZF-03: Secure Management (NMS). Applies to Eclipse NMS access over the
network, and to local access via the Portal craft tool. It also enables secure
management access to Eclipse over an unsecured network, and protects Eclipse
configurations from accidental or intentional modification by unauthorized
personnel.
• EZF-04: Payload Encryption. Encrypts all traffic and management data over the
wireless link to prevent eavesdropping.
• EZF-05: Ethernet over TDM (DS3, DS1). Enables mapping of Ethernet data to
DS3, or DS1 PDH interfaces using the DAC 3xDS3M or DAC 16xV2. Supports
transport of Ethernet data over existing DS3 or NxDS1 radio or leased-line circuits.
• EZF-06: RADIUS Client. Enables connection validation to a radius server for
centralized account management.
