Kentrox DataSMART 696 T1 / FT1 Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs

Description

With Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs from Kentrox, service providers and enterprise customers can monitor the end-to-end performance of their Frame Relay network. DataSMART® 696 and 698 Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs support T1 / FT1 Frame Relay services. When teamed with ServicePoint Manager software, network managers can verify Service Level Agreements (SLAs); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or Frame Relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor network trends to aid in future capacity planning. DataSMART 696 and 698 DSU/CSUs maximize your network uptime with convenient management features, such as in-band access for simplifi ed remote management. Each T1 DSU/CSU includes a front-panel LCD for easy local management. Embedded, standards-based SNMP and an integrated Ethernet port ensure easy central management.

Complete frame monitoring solutions

DataSMART 696 and 698 DSU/CSUs are available as stand-alone units that can also be rack mounted. All models include a variety of helpful configuration and diagnostic tools to simplify installation, troubleshooting, and circuit performance monitoring. DataSMART 696 and 698 DSU/CSUs are compatible with ServicePoint Manager software, which graphically displays key statistics on the Frame Relay network. The management data provided by DataSMART Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs is also compatible with popular enterprise reporting systems, including Concord Communications' Network Health®.

Frame Relay monitoring

DataSMART 696 and 698 DSU/CSUs provide unique and powerful tools for analyzing Frame Relay performance end-to-end and separately in the enterprise and local loop. By providing a complete picture across the Frame Relay network, carriers and enterprise network managers have the information necessary to determine network availability, performance, problem sources, and bandwidth requirements. By operating at the network access point, DataSMART 696 and 698 DSU/CSUs offer independent and objective visibility of the network to help identify the true source of performance problems and the best resolution.

Comprehensive local-loop monitoring

Poor line signal quality, framing violations, dropped packets, slow throughput, and other network errors can all be caused by problems in the local loop. DataSMART DSU/CSUs provide a variety of circuit performance monitoring tools to help determine the health of your wide area network.

LMI spoofing

To help network managers troubleshoot problems quickly and minimize downtime, DataSMART 696 and 698 DSU/CSUs support LMI spoofing. The LMI spoofing feature auto-detects router or switch failure and maintains communication with your remote units.
Standards-based management The DataSMART embedded SNMP agent supports SETs, GETs and Traps, as well as standard MIBs, such as MIB II and the T1 MIB. And for comprehensive control, an enterprise MIB supports all available functions. These MIBs are available on the Kentrox web site.

Advanced management and diagnostics

DataSMART DSU/CSUs have advanced features that enable you to take active control of your network, such as in-band SNMP and an integrated Ethernet management port. Comprehensive T1 diagnostic tools help you identify and resolve performance issues in the Frame Relay local loop before they affect service. With the DataSMART, you can remotely confi gure your units and receive SNMP traps for important network events.

Add/drop voice port option

The DataSMART 698 Frame Monitoring DSU/CSU provides an add/drop voice port. Businesses can integrate their PBX and managed Frame Relay traffi c onto a single T1 / FT1 line, avoiding multiple access charges. Check with your carrier about integrated T1 service options.

Flexible reporting options

DataSMART Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs support an open architecture for reporting information. Network managers can easily integrate circuit management data into their existing reports, procedures, and activities for Frame Relay service management. Kentrox also offers the economical ServicePoint Manager software. With its graphical interface, this easy-to-use application reports valuable information about the performance of your Frame Relay network.
