The Metropolis
®
ADM is designed to avoid network
overlays by combining high density PDH/SDH and
cutting-edge Ethernet interfaces into one reliable
multiservice platform. It fits onto a single 300mm deep
shelf and provides full front access. Together with its
high density cabling design, it offers a space-efficient,
easily installed, low power consumption system.
By sharing hardware assets between the Universal and
Compact shelves, the cost of stocking spares is greatly
reduced. Moreover, pluggable optics (SFP/XFP) are
incorporated such that you can engineer appropriate
port reaches upon service order, avoiding over-
engineering during installation.
Enables efficient and reliable
next-generation data services
The Metropolis
®
ADM’s incorporation of the industry
renowned T
ransLAN
®
cards make it ideal for next-
generation network upgrades. These cards provide
innovative Ethernet technology for interconnecting end
users, ISPs, and service providers while maintaining the
reliability, interoperability and manageability of SDH
networking. Ethernet packets are mapped into SDH frames
using GFP (ITU G.7041). They are then transparently
transported across virtual concatenated VC-12s, VC-3s or
VC-4s.
The T
ransLAN
®
Cards support LCAS (ITU G.7042), to
enable in-service bandwidth increases/decreases of
virtually concatenated bandwidth, promoting efficient
use of bandwidth and enhancing traffic protection
capabilities.
The TransLAN Cards are MEF Certified, providing
standards compliant L1/L2 Ethernet VPN functionality
that includes:
• Point-to-point LAN Transport and Point-to-multipoint
LAN Interconnect
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging/trunking and IEEE
802.1ad Provider Bridge VLAN tagging
• Traffic engineering for DiffServ QoS with CIR/PIR rate
control (rate control, flow classification, queuing,
scheduling)
Offers seamless management integration
The Metropolis
®
ADM is seamlessly managed by
Lucent Technologies Optical Management Solution.
This powerful, yet easy-to-use common network
management platform offers fast end-to-end path
provisioning, VPN provisioning, and real-time network
monitoring on all Lucent SDH and SONET equipment.
