RAD's New Optimux-XLT1 Consolidates Multiple T1 Lines and Ethernet LANs over Fiber Optic Link.MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 1999--RAD Data Communications announces the Optimux-XLT1 Multiple T1 and Ethernet Multiplexer which delivers multiple T1 and LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. traffic over a fiber optic link, to distances of up to 36 miles (60 km). Maximum Utilization of Fiber Infrastructure "By integrating multiple T1 links and Ethernet over fiber optic lines, the Optimux-XLT1 helps ILECs, CLECs and other service providers to maximize their investment in fiber-based local loops," says Amnon Presler, president of RAD-USA. "The Optimux-XLT1 is also suitable for consolidating PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). and LAN traffic over fiber in campus and corporate applications," states Presler. The Fiber link in the Optimux- XLT1 supports multimode fiber, single mode fiber (diode or laser) and single mode over single fiber (WDM). Flexibility, Reliability and Network Management The compact Optimux-XLT1 multiplexer supports a single, fixed 10BaseT Ethernet bridge port and three additional plug-in channel modules. Options range from four Ethernet ports to a single Ethernet port and 12 T1 channels. Ethernet traffic is transmitted by a built-in bridging function, which operates at 6 Mbps and supports up to 10,000 MAC addresses. The optional redundant power supply and second link for automatic backup ensure reliability. The Optimux-XLT1 is managed using ASCII terminal 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. management station. The SNMP management supports Java-based Web management, RADview - PC (Windows) or RADview - HP (HPOV HPOV Hewlett Packard Open View HPOV Hp Open View UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). ).
