The RICI-8T1 Fast Ethernet over T1 intelligent converter has a wide range 100 – 240 VAC or 48/60 VDC power supply, 8T1 ports and 10/100 BaseT port. The RICi-8T1 is a state-of-the-art Network Termination Unit (NTU) connecting fast ethernet LANs over eight T1 circuits. The device enables service providers to supply high-capacity Ethernet services to remote locations, and transparent connection of corporate LANs over existing T1 lines.…The RICI-8T1 Fast Ethernet over T1 intelligent converter has a wide range 100 – 240 VAC or 48/60 VDC power supply, 8T1 ports and 10/100 BaseT port. The RICi-8T1 is a state-of-the-art Network Termination Unit (NTU) connecting fast ethernet LANs over eight T1 circuits. The device enables service providers to supply high-capacity Ethernet services to remote locations, and transparent connection of corporate LANs over existing T1 lines. The RICi-8T1 complies with RAD's unique set of EtherAccess features. This feature set provides services and carrier backhaul applications over low and high-speed PDH and SDH/SONET circuits from fractional and full T1/T3 over STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12 to Ethernet networks. The device can be used in a point-to-point application or in a hub-and-spoke topology, operating opposite RAD's Egate-100 and third-party gateways. Typical RICI-8T1 applications include ethernet private Line/LAN services, IP DSLAM, cellular IP, and WiMAX base station backhauling, inter-office or enterprise LAN connection. The RICi-8T1 uses bonding to create a scalable, large virtual pipe comprised of up to eight T1 lines using Multilink PPP (MLPPP). The bonding is performed at the T1 level, providing flexible bandwidth for different applications. Features include connecting fast ethernet LANs over up to four bonded T1 circuits utilizing Multilink PPP, bridging the bandwidth gap between T1 and T3, certified by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) for MEF 9 EPL, VLAN tagging, stacking, and stripping fully separates ethernet user traffic from management data, monitoring diagnostic tools for quick fault isolation on TDM and ethernet ports, Bidirectional fault propagation of MLPPP link errors to the ethernet port and, ethernet port errors to the MLPPP port.
