SMC's New Metro Edge Managed Switch Makes Fiber to the Home Practical.New TigerAccess[TM] 1000 Standalone Managed 24-port 100BASE-BX + 2 Gigabit Combo Ports +2 Module Slots Switch Brings Cost-Effective, High-Speed Edge Connectivity for Bandwidth-Intensive Applications IRVINE, Calif. -- SMC Networks (www.smc SMC Saint Mary's College SMC Santa Monica College SMC Solaris Management Console SMC Smooth Muscle Cell SMC Small Magellanic Cloud (also see LMC) SMC Safety Management Certificate (maritime shipping) .com) today announced the newest in its TigerAccess[TM] family of switches for Metro Edge networking, the SMC7824M/FSW. Priced to bring Fiber to the Home for bandwidth and speed at under $200 per port, the new SMC7824M/FSW is available now to ISPs and Integrators who want to enhance service offerings and revenue opportunities--as well as customer satisfaction--with reliable, high-speed, versatile edge connectivity. Designed to handle the highest-bandwidth applications with a non-blocking, single chip switching architecture that's capable of up to 12.8Gbps, this feature-rich fiber-optic standalone 100BASE-BX Metro Edge Managed switch supports as many as four Gigabit uplinks for even more high-bandwidth communication. Bringing mission-critical redundancy and future-proofing to the edge of the Metro network, the new SMC7824M/FSW delivers 100BASE-BX single-strand fiber Ethernet connectivity for direct, high-speed connections to the service provider network. Enabling demanding applications, such as HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates streaming, it brings the possibility for higher bandwidth applications than are currently available to most home users with today's technologies. The option for up to four Gigabit uplinks connecting this switch onto the service provider network enables maximum flexibility and redundancy for connections. And, the unit's two removable power supplies and a removable fan tray minimize downtime, maximize reliability and simplify maintenance. The new TigerAccess SMC7824M/FSW is ideal for bandwidth-intensive Metro Edge networks that require advanced switching capabilities and top-notch maintenance features. The SMC7824M/FSW's advanced features include QoS with eight levels of priority, weighted fair-queuing and L2/3/4 IP to ensure smooth transmission of critical data. VLANs based on frame tags or ports, support for automatic GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) A standard for registering a client station into a VLAN. See 802.1p. 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. registration and spanning tree per VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network provide maximum security and bandwidth efficiency. Security is further enhanced with support for RADIUS, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.1x, SSH (Secure SHell) A security protocol for logging into a remote server. SSH provides an encrypted session for transferring files and executing server programs. Also serving as a secure client/server connection for applications such as database access and e-mail, SSH supports a , SSL, TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) An access control protocol used to authenticate a user logging into the network. TACACS is a simple username/password system. + and ACL See access control list. 1. ACL - Access Control List. 2. ACL - Association for Computational Linguistics. 3. ACL - A Coroutine Language. A Pascal-based implementation of coroutines. ["Coroutines", C.D. . Just 1.5 R-U high and less than 10 inches deep, it offers all that--and expandability--in a small package. Twenty four 100Mbps single strand fiber (BX) ports, two 1000BASE-T RJ45 ports and 2 Gigabit combo (RJ-45/SFP) uplinks make it powerful, versatile and capable. And, ease of maintenance is built in, with an alarm port, redundant/field-swappable power supplies and fans, event logs and a Web-based management interface for remote access. "This new fiber 24 +2 +2 -port TigerAccess Managed Switch brings fiber to the home in the best possible way," said SMC Product Manager, Iain Kenney. "Perfect for today's demanding Web applications--with versatility, bandwidth and future-proofing, as well as 'street-ready' management and maintainability built-in, this economical, powerful switch opens up immediate revenue opportunities for service providers, and leaves room for growth later." The new TigerAccess SMC7824M/FSW fiber optic Metro Edge switch, as well as its optional uplinks and redundant power supplies, are available now.
