Verso iMarc 9788 CSU/DSU

Intelligent G.SHDSL access products with advanced diagnostics and Service Level Management features

A Flexible Solution

The 9788 CSU/DSU provides a G.SHDSL termination, and features FRF.8 ATM to Frame Relay conversion. This is ideal for using G.SHDSL as an access method for connection to Frame Relay networks.

The unit features a V.35 interface for connection to a separate router. The iMarc 9788 available with both diagnostic and SLM feature levels, combines a router with a G.SHDSL modem for cost-effective, single unit connections of customer Ethernet LANs to G.SHDSL access facilities.

A future proof investment

The iMarc DSL 9788 CSU/DSU is available in two feature sets:

       Basic diagnostic feature set provides basic Frame Relay and diagnostic capability.

       Service Level Management (SLM) provides basic features, plus reporting and monitoring.

Full Service Level Management (SLM) capability can be activated in units that have the basic diagnostic feature set at any time. This is an optional feature that adds real-time and historical network performance monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement) reporting capabilities to your iMarc unit and network.
