Tahoe DSL Access Multiplexer
The Tahoe DSL Access Multiplexer is a perfect solution for large DSL providers requiring concentration of a high number of DSL lines in a small space. Developed to combine performance, quality, and scalability, the Tahoe DSLAM takes advantage of the latest G.SHDSL technology to help operators address customers’ needs for greater bandwidth. The Tahoe DSLAM is a 19” rack-mountable, 3U high unit designed to gather multiple G.SHDSL.bis modems in one space saving system. It can hold up to 8 Tahoe 4681 cards each containing 4 modems, giving a total capacity of 32 G.SHDSL.bis lines. Each line is capable of working either individually or as part of a 1, 2 or 4 pair trunk. The Tahoe DSLAM is equipped with a management card and two hot-swappable, redundant power supplies. The management card provides central control of all devices and has a variety of management interfaces, including a local console and out-of-band Ethernet. For ease of use, the Tahoe DSLAM has a 4-button keyboard, Ethernet port, serial console port and a 4”colour LCD screen making it easy to view all operating parameters of cards within the chassis. The Tahoe DSLAM has the ability to support layer 2 bridged services with full VLAN support as well as Layer 3 routed services with NAT, firewall and access control lists.
The Benefits:
- High throughput over significant lengths of copper cabling.
