The LRS-24 is RAD’s manageable access system for providing full coverage of the Last Mile with a variety of technologies, rates, interfaces, and media. The system supports standard technologies such as repeated G.703 and SHDSL. Each card in the LRS-24 works in a point-to-point configuration opposite a remote unit with no connection to the adjacent cards. This allows each card to support a different rate, interface or media. The solutions supported include interface converters, 2/4-wire copper modems, 2/4-wire xDSL modems, fiber optic multiplexers, and fiber optic modems.
The LRS-24 has 12 slots and supports single, dual and quad modem cards.
The LRS-24 supports SNMP management via the CM-2 common management module.
The CM-2 supports all the different types of cards, including cards with or without SNMP agents on board. The module includes a built-in Ethernet bridge and an Ethernet port for the connection of a large number of racks to single or multiple management stations. The same Ethernet segment used for managing the LRS-24 can be used for managing other parts of the network, such as the backbone equipment, from the same management station. The module has two additional ports – one for local ASCII terminal management and the other for the station clock connection.
The RADview SNMP application running on an HP OpenView UNIX or PC platform enables full management of the LRS-24, the remote units and other RAD products.
