MetroRack PDF Print E-mail
  • Centralised Management Capability in a Single Rack solution
  • Multiple Module options available in any mixed configuration
  • 12 slot chassis unit in a compact 19" 4U rack spacing
  • SNMP Remote Management
  • Cost effective solution for multiple interface requirements
  • "Hot Swap" of all Modules and Power Supplies (AC or DC)
  • Increased resilience with redundant load sharing PSU
  • Alarm extension relays

Metrodata's MetroRack presents you with a centralized management option whilst offering increased card density and thereby efficient use of limited rack space. The MetroRACK is a 4U high, 19" rack based chassis unit which has 12 available slots that can accommodate individual modules from a selection of I/O interface types. Spare Modules can be resident in the chassis ready for immediate additional functionality and providing 'in situ' spares. Ease of maintenance and the provisioning of new services is fulfilled through the modules and power supplies being "hot swap" compliant.

The I/O Modules for MetroRack support a basic Standalone Operation with simple bit switch configuration, but when the optional Management Module is fitted, a fully managed chassis including SNMP capability is provided.

Management of the MetroRack is either via the console port, or via the management Ethernet port using SNMP or Telnet. SNMP version 1 is supported, including MIB-2 and Traps. SNMP traps are generated based on configurable alarms generated for any of the I/O Modules. TFTP download of software and configuration is also supported. To further future proof the MetroRack system, remote hardware upgrade of CPLD firmware is included. A password is required for Management Access whether via the console or Telnet. Performance statistics are available for all ports with statistics collected in 15 minute segments for a 24 hour period.

The MetroRack offers a pair of change over relays to indicate alarm conditions. The Major Alarm relay is energized for normal operation to ensure a fault is signaled in the event of a power failure.

The MetroRack has a single Power Supply which supports a full rack of cards but for increased resiliency the AC PSU is load sharing when used in the optional 1+1 redundant configuration. For maximum MBTF then the -48V DC PSU modules can be used. Typical operating power consumption is less than 75 watts.

The MetroRACK IO modules offer LAN Extension, Fibre Conversion and Interface Conversion.

PA1000 - HSSI to POS OC-3 / STM-1 PDF Print E-mail

The Metrodata PA1000 converts data from byte-oriented HDLC, as used on Packet over Sonet (POS) interfaces, to bit-oriented HDLC as found on HSSI interfaces.

Packet over Sonet to HSSI Converter

The PA1000 serves two purposes:

  • it enables connection between a Packet over Sonet (POS) based router and a HSSI based router
  • it enables a Packet over Sonet based router to be connected to a satellite modem and to operate at data rates below 155 Mbps

The PA1000 provides a solution for satellite operators wishing to use high performance Packet over Sonet (POS) based routers without the need to use valuable chassis slots for low speed HSSI serial interfaces. In addition, the PA1000 supports non-standard data rates and asymmetric operation, thus providing a flexible solution for the user.

The PA1000 rate-adapts by stripping flags out of the data stream and transporting only the actual packet data. It is transparent to packet payload and may operate with any protocol that both the Packet over Sonet (POS) and HSSI devices support, such as PPP and Frame Relay.

The PA1000 provides the system integrator with a simple, convenient and economic solution for the interconnection of modern high speed routers fitted with Packet over Sonet (POS) interfaces and older legacy routers with HSSI interfaces.

Product Features

  1. Variable bit-rate for Packet over Sonet (POS) routers
  2. Connect Packet Over Sonet (POS) core networks to legacy HSSI routers
  3. Router to satellite connections at up to 90 Mbps HSSI
  4. Asymmetric data rates: future-proofed satellite bandwidth
  5. Hardware - based Packet rate and Interface adapter
  6. Ease of migration for ISPs to develop Packet over Sonet (POS) router core within existing HSSI structure
