ETHERNET OVER TDM
RICi-E1, RICi-T1,
RICi-E3, RICi-T3
Fast Ethernet over
E1/T1 or E3/T3 NTUs
The RICi-E1, RICi-T1, RICi-E3 and RICi-T3 are
network termination units (NTUs) connecting
Fast Ethernet over unframed/framed E1/T1 or T3
circuits, or a single unframed E3 circuit.
Typical applications include:
•
Ethernet Private Line services
•
Layer 2 VPN services
•
Backhauling of network management traffic
•
IP DSLAM and WiMAX base station backhaul
•
Inter-office or enterprise LAN connection
The devices can interoperate with third-party
devices using standard protocols: HDLC framing,
GFP (RICi-E1/RICi-T1) and X.86/LAPS
(RICi-E3/RICi-T3).
The devices support VLAN priority (802.1p) and
IP Precedence (RICi-E1/RICi-T1), enabling users
to define different levels of quality of service
(QoS) according to application requirements.
VLAN capabilities
The VLAN tagging, stacking and stripping option
enables transparent delivery of user traffic,
keeping all user VLAN settings intact.
The built-in Fast Ethernet bridge can work in
filter mode, where it learns MAC addresses and
filters local traffic, or in transparent mode,
where any received packet will be forwarded to
the other interface. The device can also operate
in VLAN-aware mode, switching traffic according
to VLAN tags and MAC address (IVL mode).
SNMP management
The RICi-E1, RICi-T1, RICi-E3 and RICi-T3 feature
flexible management capabilities, including local
management via an ASCII terminal (RS-232). In
addition, remote management can be performed
either inband or out-of-band, using the network
or user ports, while maintaining separation
between management and user traffic via the
use of VLANs. Advanced FCAPS (Fault,
Configuration, Administration, Performance,
Security) and diagnostic tools are provided by
RADview-EMS, RAD’s carrier-class element
management system, via a Web browser.
The RICi-E1, RICi-T1, RICi-E3 and RICi-T3 also
support a variety of access protocols, including
Telnet, SNMP, Web server, and TFTP. DHCP client
support is employed to automatically obtain IP
address, IP mask and default gateway, saving
precious installation time. All four devices
support diagnostic tools for TDM and Ethernet

networks, for fast isolation of network problems,
saving time and costs. Remote and local loopbacks
are used to isolate problems on the physical layer,
while ping, trace-route and ICMP messages enable
diagnostics of the Ethernet layer.
In cases of error conditions on the TDM port, a
fault propagation feature disconnects the link on
the Fast Ethernet port, and enables routers on
both ends of the link to reroute the traffic.
