Loop G7860 mPTN MPLS/CE Packet Transport Network The Loop-G7860 mPTN (MPLS/CE Packet Transport Network) is a new cost-effective solution for transporting many different data types, including traditional circuit-based traffic, over a packet-based transportation network.

G7860A supports both MPLS-TP and Carrier Ethernet (EPL, EVPL, EPLAN, EVC defined in MEF) for packet transportation. In addition to native Ethernet transport, G7860A can be used as the gateway for PDH and SDH/SONET networks to enter PSNs using Circuit Emulation and Encapsulation technologies. Encapsulation technologies include TDMoE, TDMoIP, and TDMoMPLS. Circuit Emulation include CESoPSN (NxDS0/64K) with CAS, SAToP (Unframed E1/T1), T3, and CEP (SDH/SONET paths). Pseudowires make grooming and multiplexing DS0, E1/T1, T3 and SDH/SONET paths easier, and service integrity can also be monitored and protected via packet network protection schemes.

One G7860A with up to 81G packet switching capacity supports six GbE/10GbE SFP+ and four 1GbE SFP built-in interfaces along with 16 E1/T1 built-in ports. With two hot-swappable plug-in slots, the system capacity can be scaled up with additional E1/T1 and T3 ports, STM-n/OC-n, or GbE electrical/optical interfaces.

G7860A provides high availability and reliability required by Carrier, Power Utility, Military, Government and Transportation applications by supporting MPLS-TP LSP 1:1/1+1 protection and ERPS, with protection switching time under 50ms. Ethernet and MPLS section and end-to-end OAM are also provided for monitoring service integrity and performance. The compact G7860A is only 1U height, but its powerful functions enable customers to provision a service-grooming hub, ring, or mesh 10G packet network with ultimate ease.

Application Notes

These application notes cover many aspects of Integrated Access Multiplexer applications. While some are specific to particular products, many are applicable to most any of our channel bank, IAD, or TDM aggregation products. The principles are the same.

We invest a great deal of time and effort creating tools like these to assist our customers, so most are available only to DCB customers. If you are one of our customers and don't have the required customer access password, please contact your sales representative to obtain your free password.

Voice Pass-through with Loop Products

A question about pass through voice DS-0 circuits was recently raised. Loop product mapping provides a choice of "d" for data or "v" for voice to be designated for each DS-0. FXS, FXO and E&M circuits must all be set to "v" for voice. If a DS-0 carrying voice passes in and out of a T1 as a pass through, must this be set to "v" for voice? The answer is "yes". See this paper for details on setting a pass through DS-0 to "v" for voice and for verifying the setting. Download the note in PDF format.
