Lucent Technologies DSL Access Concentrator Stinger FS+ - Manual (Page 4)

In addition, the Stinger FS+ chassis and components are
built on the same operating system, enabling inherent
switching awareness by all components of any Stinger
product. So, if you add or replace a card, it is easily
configured and automatically becomes part of the Service
Intelligent Architecture.
Performance from robust routing—Routing
functionality is distributed across every routing card. By
making each its own routing engine and lowering reliance
on costly, or unreliable, centralized routing devices, Stinger
FS+ improves the overall robustness of your networks. In
addition to greater flexibility in how your network is
deployed, you get added backup and redundancy.
Definitive Quality—Not only does the FS+ architecture
have exceptional quality, with no single point of failure
and integrated loop testing, it also features Automatic
Protection Switching (APS)/Multiplex Section Protection
(MSP). This compelling redundancy feature enables the
Stinger FS+ to work with Stinger’s sister architecture, the
AnyMedia
® Access System, to transport both voice traffic
and DSL data in a fail-safe manner.
Multiple levels of redundancy—With Stinger FS+ you
also benefit from exceptional built-in redundancy for
mission-critical business xDSL, including:
• APS/MSP for 1:1 trunk port redundancy with hot standby
and sub-25 millisecond switchover
• 1:n subscriber port redundancy and independent 1:n
switching of failed ports
• 1:1 trunk port redundancy and network node failure
recovery via PNNI/Soft PVCs
• Multiple trunks to enable protection and to accommodate
diverse facilities
• Hot-swappable subscriber and trunk modules
• Distributed power system with redundant line filters
Support for advanced applications—You will find that
today’s and tomorrow’s most advanced applications work
easily, supported by:
• IP multicast for broadcast audio/video, interactive TV,
video on demand/pay-per-view
• Subtending of multiple systems in support for over 31,000
xDSL ports in a single switching group
• Gigabit Ethernet and OC-12 bandwidth to the backbone
• IP backhauling and traffic offload
• Private virtual routing and secure tunneling
• Management of all traffic per ATM Forum Traffic
Management 4.0 specifications for UBR, CBR, and VBR
rt/nrt
Advanced operations features—The Stinger FS+ also
features:
• Integral loop qualification & metallic testing capability
under remote control
• Automated VC provisioning via PNNI/Soft PVCs
• Automated end-to-end provisioning with the TurnUp™
CPE configuration and management tool
Stinger portfolio meets every need
The Stinger FS+ chassis supports a choice of optional
modules that perform line testing functions:
Path Selector Module (PSM)—The PSM provides the
full functionality of a Line Protection Module (LPM) in
addition to loop test access. When the PSM is used in
conjunction with a redundant LPM, it provides access from
an external copper loop tester to any subscriber line
attached to a Stinger chassis.
Copper Loop Test (CLT) Module—In addition to
supporting access for an external test set, the Stinger
system also offers its own integrated test module. The CLT
module consists of a PSM with an integrated test head on
a daughterboard. The CLT performs a wide variety of
copper loop testing and qualification functions, simplifying
DSL deployment for carriers.
The Stinger FS+ and the entire Stinger family of DSL
access concentrators, CellPipe™ products, and Integrated
Access Devices (IADs) remain today’s products of choice
for Broadband Access solutions. Lucent DSLAMs fit any
size need. You can choose from architectures for central
offices (CO’s) and remote terminals (RT’s). Lucent access
concentrators can be placed in indoor and outdoor
cabinets of all types and sizes, whether in buildings or
outside on the curb.
