RIC-E3/ETH, RIC-T3/ETH 10/100BaseT to E3/T3 Interface Converters • The units feature fault propagation. If a link failure is detected, the user port is shut down. • The front and back panel LEDs indicate AIS and LOS line conditions and provide information on the status of the Ethernet link. • A dry contact alarm relay port is supported via a rear panel 9-pin connector. The port enables relay of the major and minor alarm conditions using Normally Open FEATURES DESCRIPTION and Normally Closed operation of the connector pins. • RIC-E3/ETH and RIC-T3/ETH • Interface converters interface converters, offer a connecting 10/100BaseT simple, cost-effective connection LANs over E3/T3 services between E3/T3 services and • Cost-effective alternative to 10/100BaseT LANs. packet-based E3/T3-to-LAN • RIC-E3/ETH and RIC-T3/ETH routing interfaces transparently connect unframed E3/T3 and 10/100BaseT links, • Built-in bridge and VLAN utilizing the full E3/T3 bandwidth support operating at Fast without heavy overhead Ethernet rates associated with packet or • Fault propagation of E3/T3 cell-based technologies. error conditions to Ethernet • Built-in Ethernet bridge with port VLAN support enables virtual LAN connectivity. • User-selectable multicast and broadcast prevention to • The Ethernet interface module WAN performs frame filtering and forwarding at the Fast Ethernet • Plug-and-play LAN maximum theoretical rate of connection 150,000 frames per second. The bridge causes no LAN delays. • Alarm relay for the transmission of line fault • The converters provide full control reports over the multicast and broadcast messages, which can be • Fully compatible with forwarded from LAN to WAN or IEEE 802.3U blocked from it. • RIC-E3/ETH and RIC-T3/ETH support autonegotiation, for plug-and-play Ethernet connection without any additional configuration.
