Key Features and Benefits

Instant 400x Bandwidth Upgrade The 2000s SONET/SDH module, designed to fit into an existing IMUX 2000 T1/E1 Multiplexer and MDACS, allows for instant upgrade from T1/E1 to OC-12/STM-4, communications backbone, to provide greater bandwidth capacity for video and other high-bandwidth applications. Low-cost and easy migration path to SONET/SDH With a straightforward migration path to a SONET/SDH communications infrastructure, the IMUX 2000s SONET/SDH module leverages existing IMUX 2000 T1/E1 multiplexers and/or MDACS and provides cost savings while eliminating risk and complexity of installing a new SONET/SDH system. Because the IMUX2000s module is fully backwards compatible with existing installations, customers can perform a staged upgrade - one node at a time - minimizing troubleshooting and risk. Gigabit Ethernet Services The IMUX 2000s SONET/SDH module drives E-Line and E-LAN services to the network edge, delivering resilient, managed IP-based services including Gigabit Ethernet services using VCAT with dynamic LCAS at speeds up to 622 Mbps. By utilizing both primary and back-up fiber paths, full GigE bandwidth can be achieved over OC-12:

Ethernet over SONET (EoS) The module offers Ethernet over SONET with layer 1 physical separation

Security The IMUX 2000s system with the SONET/SDH module offers features and customizable operations for meeting customer’s NERC-CIP requirements

Data Separation Physical separation of Ethernet traffic from critical protection data

Ethernet and TDM services transported over SONET, a non-routable protocol Layer 1 Ethernet transport means external sources cannot access ports remotely User Access Management Password protection with no back door service access Customized operations to optionally disable management access through Telnet
