5950 SDSL / SHDSL to Ethernet Gateway
|
Efficient's 5950 is an SDSL / SHDSL (Symmetric
High-density Digital Subscriber Line) Gateway.
It combines the functions of a DSL modem, managed 8-port 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
switch, ICSA-compliant firewall, VPN security appliance, and full-featured
router-all in a single chassis.
The Efficient Networks 5950 SDSL/SHDSL Business Gateway can be configured
for either SDSL or SHDSL via a simple command. The ability to offer
either access method through a single device facilitates the transition
from SDSL to SHDSL. The reasons for migrating
to SHDSL are compelling. Compared to SDSL, SHDSL has 30% more reach, with
translates to at least a 60% larger coverage area. With up to 2.3Mbps symmetric
bandwidth on a single copper pair, SHDSL supports higher-bandwidth services,
such as Voice over IP. And its standardization eliminates traditional interoperability
problems between Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs) and
customer premises equipment. |

Features
- SHDSL ITU G.991.2 Annex A or B; G.hs ITU G.994.1
- Supports symmetric line rates 192Kbps to 2,312Kbps downstream
and upstream
- Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) support
- Built-in 8-port 10/100 Base-T Ethernet switch with link status
LED for each port
- IP Quality of Service (QoS) - By differentiating
between types of IP traffic and giving priority to the most urgent or time-sensitive,
the service provider can offer differentiated classes of service - not possible
until now with DSL services.
- High availability - The Efficient Networks 5950 Business Gateway
supports high availability with a redundant router configuration or dial backup
functionality. The gateway automatically establishes a backup connection if
it detects a DSL link failure.
