15-2 Axxius 800 - Release 2.2
Terminal Server Router Card
Overview
Overview
The Quad-Port Terminal Server Router (TSR) card combines the performance and
expand ability of a selectable four-port RS-232 and 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch
with dedicated routing functionality in a low-cost solution to help wireless service
providers remotely manage cell site LMU and switching devices, and deliver routing
capabilities needed to offer 3G applications services. The ability to remotely manage
these cell site devices significantly reduces maintenance truck rolls costs, and enables
the wireless service provider to focus their efforts on expanding their cell site coverage
for increased revenues.
The TSR card employs a dedicated processor to ensure high performance and product
feature expansion. A powerful set of standard features includes IP and IPX routing,
Layer 2 bridging, ML-PPP, networking security and management capabilities to
integrate services in the digital last mile. The four RJ-45 ports can be configured as
either RS-232 or 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connections to support remote device
management from the Network Operations Center (NOC) or 3G routed data
applications services. The Axxius 800’s modular design supports up to eight TSR
cards.
The TSR card is SNMP or Command Line Interface (CLI) manageable. Management
connectivity is provided either by directly through the user data port connection on the
TSR card, or through the DS1 or DS3 Controller cards as a component of the Axxius
800 platform.
Quad TSR with TBOS
The Quad-Port Terminal Server Router (TSR) card with TBOS-to-SNMP conversion,
offers a fully integrated solution to convert and transport TBOS alarms. The TBOS data
received on the TSR card’s RS-232 ports are stored and made available via SNMP
GETs. Alarms from TBOS-monitored equipment are converted to SNMP traps and
transported over the WAN DS0 to the Network Operation Center's SNMP Trap
Manager. This eliminates the need for a separate TBOS alarm monitoring system for
fixed microwave backhaul systems and reduces bandwidth expense. Up to 8 TBOS
devices can be cascaded off a single TSR RS-232 port.
