Omnitron
Launches Managed Edge Chassis with Redundant Power and PoE
Designed
for Mission-Critical Enterprise and Service Provider Customer Premises
Applications
Irvine,
CA June 1, 2006 –
Omnitron Systems Technology, a leading provider of Fiber Optic access
systems for Next Generation Ethernet networks, today announced the
release of the iConverter 1-Module
Redundant-Power Chassis. The new small form factor chassis features a
flexible and managed power sourcing scheme based on Power over Ethernet
(PoE) support.
The iConverter 1-Module Redundant-Power
Chassis is an ideal solution for mission-critical Enterprise and Metro
Ethernet fiber deployments requiring managed media conversion in
locations lacking ready access to power sources. The power features
enable easy installation and ongoing management in even the most
challenging locations.
Power sourcing and configuration features of the new iConverter
Chassis include:
-
Integrated
PoE Powered Device (PD) support via a 10/100 UTP connector for
powering from an upstream Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch or a
Midspan Power Source (MPS)
-
Redundant
DC or DC/PoE power configuration support
-
Two
integrated UTP 10/100 ports, plus port options from the installed
Omnitron iConverter module
-
Optional
9-18 Volt DC Terminal or Barrel connectors and 48 Volt DC Terminal
connectors
-
Contact
closure alarm sensors for UPS connectivity and remote management of
power conditions
When an iConverter
self-managed media converter module is installed in the chassis, it
provides remotely managed Ethernet demarcation in a compact and
cost-effective form factor. This configuration supports VLAN with Q-in-Q
to enable E-Line and E-LAN services, Quality of Service prioritization
for real-time voice and video over Ethernet, and bandwidth control to
deliver rate based service differentiation.
iConverter equipment can be managed with
Omnitron’s SNMP-based NetOutlook management software, third-party SNMP
software, or Telnet. NetOutlook has an
intuitive interface that remotely monitors network status, configures
equipment and receives trap notifications.
iConverter self-managed modules support the IEEE 802.3ah standard
and Omnitron’s Secure IP-less management.
The iConverter 1-Module Redundant-Power
Chassis supports the entire family of iConverter
modules, providing support for a wide range of copper-to-fiber and
fiber-to-fiber configurations.
