Optical Transport » Chassis-based Platforms

The Metrobility Chassis Platforms provide a flexible, scalable and manageable means for integrating coax; Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair; and singlemode or multimode fiber optic LAN segments into Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, SONET and TDM environments. Metrobility offers four chassis platforms to support its wide range of interface and access line cards.

Metrobility R5000
17 Slot Chassis-based Platform with two AC or DC PSUs

The Radiance Chassis Platforms provide a flexible, scalable and manageable means for integrating coax; Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair; and singlemode or multimode fiber optic LAN segments into Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, SONET and TDM environments. Metrobility offers four chassis platforms to support its wide range of interface and access line cards.

Rackmount Chassis
The Radiance R5000 is a NEBS Level 3 certified 19” or 23” rack-mountable 2U platform which supports two rear-loading, redundant, load-sharing, hot-swap AC or DC power supplies, 16 slots for connectivity, and one slot for optional management access. The Radiance R1000 is a NEBS Level 3 certified 1U rack-mounted unit with dual, load-sharing AC or DC power, and accommodates two line cards. The R5000 and R1000 have separate bus paths for management, data and power for more efficient internal communications.

Standalone Chassis
The R400 is a Class B certified standalone unit which, like the R1000, accommodates two line cards. The R400 is available with external AC power.

The R200 is a Class B certified standalone unit which accommodates a single line card. The R200 is equipped with an internal AC or DC power supply. By utilizing special brackets, the R200 and R400 devices are able to be mounted to a wall or in a rack.

Line Card Options
The Radiance Chassis support a wide range of copper to fiber and fiber to fiber connectivity options as well as remote access and wavelength multiplexing.

Radiance Access Line Cards and Services Line
Cards support real-time management of each link - including remote loopback testing, and analog statistics for platform power, temperature and optical laser levels, and dynamic bandwidth provisioning, - without consuming any valuable user bandwidth. Radiance Interface Line Cards offer media conversion, distance, speed, and line protection and restoration options to cost-effectively and reliably distribute fiber optic connections.

Management and Stacking
Metrobility’s Management Card supplies the management access and reports individual line card status to NetBeacon®, Metrobility’s SNMP-based element management system. The management card also includes an embedded web kernel called WebBeacon™ to allow remote access using any standard web browser and enables additional management via CLI, telnet and HP OpenView®.

The Radiance Chassis Stacking Line Card is designed to enable up to 7 chassis and 109 remote sites (using Access Line Cards) to be managed under a singe IP address. This ability provides visibility and remote software control over the entire stack, along with notifi cation of a problem or failure to the network administrator. In a stacked configuration, the 'master' chassis must have a chassis stacking line card and an R502-M management card. Three (3) cards are required in chained configuration for stacks greater than four chassis. The Management Card and Chassis Stacking Line Card each requires one slot in the chassis.

Metrobility R1000
Rackmount Chassis

The Radiance R1000 is a NEBS Level 3 certified 1U rack-mounted unit with dual, load-sharing AC or DC power, and accommodates two line cards.

Metrobility R400
Standalone Chassis 2-slot

The R400 is a Class B certified standalone unit which, like the R1000, accommodates two line cards. The R400 is available with external single or dual AC power.

Optional wall and rack mountable hardware is available for the R200 and R400 chassis.

Metrobility R200
Standalone Chassis

The R200 is a Class B certified standalone unit which accommodates a single line card. The R200 is equipped with an internal AC or DC power supply.

Optional wall and rack mountable hardware is available for the R200 and R400 chassis.

Metrobility R502
Management Card with Dual Ethernet Interfaces

The Metrobility R502 management card is the SNMP agent which enables management of Metrobility® chassis based systems by Telco Systems. Connected through the backplane to other modules in the platform, the management card is configured to gather statistical information from the entire chassis. Used in conjunction with the Metrobility NetBeacon® element management software, or any SNMP application, the management card delivers individual board status directly to the network administrator.

A web kernel is embedded in the card which enables WebBeacon™, a browser-based application for web-based management of network devices.
The management card offers a command line interface to enable network managers to communicate with the card through familiar commands such as 'set,' 'show,'
etc. The management card also provides the ability for FTP software upgrades and telnet capabilities for added flexibility.

Metrobility R104
4-port Ethernet L

The Metrobility® four-port 10/100Mbps copper Ethernet Layer 2 switch from Telco Systems provides a cost-effective solution for situations in which a simple switching option with few ports is required. The switch is form-compatible for installation in the Metrobility chassis-based platforms.

When used in conjunction with any of Metrobility’s line cards, three devices can be switched and data sent over fiber. As part of a Metrobility chassis, the card utilizes minimal rack space and can be managed through either industry standard SNMP MIBs, NetBeacon or WebBeacon Element Management software.
