DCN support with the
TransLAN
®
unit
The TransLAN
®
option board can also be used for DCN engineering purposes. An
important application in this respect is to use the Ethernet interfaces to make a long
distance Q-LAN connection. This solution can replace the current solution that uses
external modems or routers. It is often cheaper and easier to manage if the long
distance Q-LAN connection can be made over the SDH infrastructure (at the cost of
the bandwidth of a few VC-12s). The DCN application of the TransLAN
®
option board
assumes the Lucent OMS is collocated with at least one of the NEs equipped with a
TransLAN
®
card (e.g., 1643 AM / 1643 AMS, 1663 ADMu). In such a case, one can
connect the Ethernet port of the Lucent OMS to one of the designated
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN ports and configure the associated WAN port with
desired bandwidth (e.g., VC12) to carry the management traffic.
Additionally it is possible to integrate 1643 Access Multiplexer AM / 1643 Access
Multiplexer Small AMS in other vendors´ networks and to pass through their DCC
R
transparently.
