Chapter 1 Overview

1.2 Main Features

1.2.1 Network Interfaces

The MUXpro Series device is accessible with one of the following types of

networking interfaces:

 Intra-office electrical STM-1 interface

 Optical interfaces. A wide range of various optical interface options is

available for the MUXpro Series, supporting long-haul/short-haul applications;

Single-link MUXpro Series supports the MSP 1+1 physical layer protection

mechanism.

As part of the SDH network, the optical line transmission subsystem provides high

quality, excellent availability and good performance that can monitor the traffic

path down to the customer premises.

1.2.2 LAN Ports

All the 10/100BaseT LAN ports support auto-negotiation for plug-and-play

Ethernet connectivity. Alternatively, the user to operate at the preferred rate and

mode can configure each port separately.

The services provided by the various ports are showing as follows:

 The Ethernet ports 1 to 4 are served by a built-in Ethernet switch with support

for QoS, in full compliance with the IEEE 802.3u, 802.3x standards. The

switch supports port-based and IEEE 802.1Q tag-based VLANs, with

configurable characteristics on a per-port basis. The switch operates in the

IEEE 802.1Q that is shared VLAN learning mode (SVL); it means that any

MAC address learned in one VLAN is also used for forwarding decision

affecting the address in the other defined VLANs (the total number of VLANs

that can be defined is 64). The device supports double tagging.

The Ethernet switch supports up to four independent WAN ports (groups),

where each WAN port can be connected to any preferred combination of

virtually concatenated groups. The algorithm that is used for frame forwarding

can be configured in accordance with the application requirements:
