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.
