Getting to Know the AES-100
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your AES-100.
The AES-100 is an ADSL (Asymme trical Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch. It aggregates traffic from
up to 16 ADSL lines to Ethernet.
ADSL allows the coexistence of broadband data service and conventional voice service over the same telephone
wire. When deployed together with ZyXEL’s ADSL modems, e.g., P642M, and WAN routers, e.g., P1400, the
combination forms an integrated solution for providing broadband services to multiple tenant units such as
apartments, hotels, offices and campus buildings.
1.1 Features
Two-Slot Chassis
The AES-100 has two slots for the ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer modules. This design provides the flexibility
for you to install as few as a single module for the initial deployment and yet still has room to grow as demand
increases.
8-Port ADSL to Ethernet Multiplexer Modules
Each ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer module aggregates traffic from 8 lines to an Ethernet port.
Integrated Splitters
The integrated splitters eliminate the need to use external splitters to separate voice-band and ADSL signals.
10 Mbps Ethernet Port
This 10 Mbps Ethernet port connects the AES-100 to an Ethernet network. With Ethernet as the backbone, you
can create a network that provides ADSL service to hundreds of subscribers.
