Kentrox DataSMART 588 T1 Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs
Description
With Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs from Kentrox,
With Frame Monitoring DSU/CSUs from Kentrox, service providers and enterprise
customers can service providers and enterprise customers can monitor the
end-to-end performance of their monitor the end-to-end performance of their
Frame Relay network.
DataSMART® 584 and 588 DSU/CSUs support T1 / FT1 Frame Relay services. When
teamed with T1 / FT1 Frame Relay services. When teamed with ServicePoint Manager
software, network managers ServicePoint Manager software, network managers can
verify Service Level Agreements (SLAs); isolate can verify Service Level
Agreements (SLAs); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop,
performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or Frame Relay network; determine
appropriate or Frame Relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and
monitor network trends to bandwidth needs; and monitor network trends to aid in
future capacity planning.

Unique auto-configuration feature for simplified network growth (DataSMART 588)
DataSMART 584 and 588 DSU/CSUs are available in plug-in shelf models. All models include a variety of helpful confi guration and diagnostic tools to simplify installation, troubleshooting, and circuit performance monitoring.
DataSMART 584 and 588 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®.
DataSMART 584 and 588 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 584 and 588 DSU/CSUs offer independent and objective visibility of the network to help identify the true source of performance problems and the best resolution.
The DataSMART 584 and 588 DSU/CSUs monitor T1 Frame Relay service performance at three levels; the local loop, end-to-end frame service and enterprise traffic.
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.
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 at www.kentrox.com/mibs.
With in-band management and local Ethernet connectivity, DataSMART 584 and 588 DSu/CSUs can be managed easily from anywhere on the business network.
DataSMART DSU/CSUs have advanced features that enable you to take active control of your network, such as in-band SNMP management. An integrated Ethernet management port is also provided on the DataSMART 588 DSU/CSU. 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.
The DataSMART 588 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.
DataSMART 584 and 588 support an open architecture for reporting information. Network managers can easily integrate the circuit management data into their existing reports, procedures, and activities for Frame Relay service management.
DataSMART 584 and 588 are compatible with ServicePoint Manager software. With its graphical interface, this easy-to-use application reports valuable information about the performance of your Frame Relay network.
