WHOLESALE ETHERNET NIDs
All GM4 and XM5 NIDs support MEF E-Access Service
demarcation at the Network to Network Interface (NNI) to
simplify wholesale deployments.
iConverter HybridNID
®
The iConverter HybridNID (Virtual NID, or vNID) enables the
delivery of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 E-Access services with value-
added revenue from independent SLA verication. With the
iConverter HybridNID installed at the customer premises or cell
tower, both a Service Provider and Wholesale Access Provider
can independently provision, manage and monitor the Carrier
Ethernet service.
This unied demarcation simplies service maintenance at out-
of-franchise customer locations. The HybridNID is available in
GM3 and GM4 congurations.
SERVICE OAM NIDs
iConverter GM3
The iConverter GM3 NIDs provide demarcation for Ethernet
services with IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 Service OAM to
ensure proper enforcement and compliance to SLAs.
The GM3 NIDs support Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP),
color-aware rate limiting and Class of Service differentiation
and prioritization. GM3 NIDs are available in 2-Port, 3-Port
standalone units and chassis plug-in modules.
LINK OAM NIDs
iConverter M2 NIDs
The iConverter M2 Class NIDs provide Ethernet E-Line service
demarcation for services that do not require SLA performance
assurance. These cost-effective NIDs support 802.3ah Link
OAM with fault detection for Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)
access links. The M2 NIDs provide MEF 9, 14 and 21 certied
Ethernet service demarcation in telecom networks, and
mission-critical managed ber links in enterprise, government
and utility networks.
M2 Class NIDs are available in 2-Port standalone units and
chassis plug-in modules that support copper-to-ber and ber-
to-ber demarcation for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 services.
