Overview
The Radiance R400 Premise Service Platform is the ideal solution for the
management of remote sites where a small platform is preferred. The R400
supports all Radiance single-slot line cards and gives you the flexibility to mix
and match cards to meet your specific network requirements. Use both slots for
connectivity, or use one slot for connectivity and the other for management.
With their compact design, two platforms fit into a standard 19-inch rack with an
added tray.
For mission-critical applications, the R400 supports two AC power supplies to
enable continuous network operation. If one power supply fails, the other supply
automatically replaces it without any data loss.
To increase reliability and reduce troubleshooting time, Metrobility
®
offers
several management options. The SNMP management card collects a variety of
network statistics and link information including the unit’s voltage and
temperature. NetBeacon
®
element management software provides proactive
management support including automatic e-mail notification. For web-based
management using a standard web browser, Metrobility provides the
WebBeacon kernel embedded into the management card.
Metrobility’s carrier class solutions provide seamless connectivity with all major
switch and router manufacturers and offer a flexible solution for fiber
connectivity while reducing costs and adding functionality.
