Avvio Networks Announces the AM2554 Protocol Independent Repeater Module.BEDFORD, Mass. -- Avvio Networks today announced availability of its 8 port AM2554 multi-protocol multi-rate regenerator. The AM2554 is the latest member of the A2050/A2500 family of optical data transport modules. Its protocol independent architecture enables service providers to provision any protocol on any port, and it supports any combination of protocols on a single module. Supported protocols include 100Mb Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. , Fibre Channel, OC-3 to OC-48 (with or without FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction ) along with many other protocols. The AM2554 is configured with software commands through its CLI (1) (Call Level Interface) A database programming interface from the SQL Access Group (SAG), an SQL membership organization. SAG's CLI is an attempt to standardize the SQL language for database access. , Telnet, or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. interfaces. Up to 40 ports can be configured any port to any port for use with any protocol in an Avvio Networks' A2050 2U chassis. An AM2554 can be configured for automatic protection switching (APS), multicast or broadcast operation, or as multiple 1:1 repeaters. It uses industry-standard, user-accessible SFPs, including C/DWDM allowing field upgrades and re-configuration. "Our AM2554 provides an exciting combination of high density and flexibility," said Leo Leo, in astronomy Leo [Lat.,=the lion], northern constellation lying S of Ursa Major and on the ecliptic (apparent path of the sun through the heavens) between Cancer and Virgo; it is one of the constellations of the zodiac.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , "Today's networks are multi-protocol, multi-wavelength networks. Service providers are necessarily cost conscious yet need to remain flexible and responsive to customer demand. The AM2554 allows service providers to reduce operating and sparing costs while providing more dynamic network capability". The AM2554 occupies a single slot in Avvio Networks' A2050 Chassis and can be used with our family of optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs) and EDFAs for a complete end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. .
