BitStorm™ DSLAM EtherLoop™ modems
The shelf installation and cabling requirements vary for the BitStorm™ 1900
Access Multiplexer shelf depending on the BitStorm™ DSLAM EtherLoop™
modem cards installed. The table below lists the models of the BitStorm™
DSLAM EtherLoop™ modem cards supported by the BitStorm™ 1900
Access Multiplexer shelf.
BitStorm™ Management Interface Unit
The BitStorm™ Management Interface Unit (MIU) enables EtherLoop system
administrators to manage BitStorm™ 1900 Access Multiplexer shelves at
remote locations over TCP/IP WANs. To do this, the installer must configure
the BitStorm MIU onto a network accessible to the WAN. The BitStorm 1900
installation document covers how to configure the BitStorm MIU on a network
so that the shelf can be managed by the system administrator.
MicroBurst 4212T mini-IP DSLAM
MicroBurst™ 4212T mini-IP DSLAM is a one rack unit IP DSLAM that
supports up to 12 EtherLoop CPE modems at 4 Mbps. The MicroBurst™ has
built-in voiceband filtering capability and is environmentally hardened for
applications such as digital loop carriers and other outside plant devices
requiring high-speed access functionality or in low density applications.
The MicroBurst™ is well suited for the outside plant applications where heat
dissipation and powering requirements inhibit deployment of conventional
ATM-based DSL solutions. This is because of the low power consumption and
low heat dissipation of EtherLoop IP DSL burst mode enabled systems. The
first generation of the MicroBurst™ includes a single T-1 interface and
Ethernet for interfacing to high capacity Gigabit Ethernet backhaul systems.
Future evolution will include multi-T-1 and optical solutions.
