Field Professionals can now initiate far-end Ethernet loopbacks across entire Layer 2 or Layer 3 Carrier Networks directly from the touch-pad of their Ethernet field test gear, thus avoiding truck-rolls and allowing single-ended testing of entire Ethernet Service paths. "By automatically reacting to JDSU's in-band loop-up/loop-down commands, the Accedian EtherNID(TM) allows cutting by half the OPEX See CAPEX. and CAPEX associated with the turn-up and troubleshooting of Ethernet Services." said Patrick Ostiguy president & CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
