This cost-effective, advanced access switch includes extensive multilayer Ethernet OAM, an array of network resiliency protocols, and advanced QoS features. The 5324T utilizes Telco Systems’ embedded LINUX-based operating system, BiNOX, to provide the robust administration, management, QoS, security and performance requirements to support the stringent requirements of today’s Carrier Ethernet network.

This essential combination of features allows the service provider to successfully deploy Ethernet services, thus enhancing its competitive edge. The 5324T’s service multiplexing capability enables service providers to deliver multiple, isolated, services on a per-port and/or a per-flow basis. Provisioning, monitoring and troubleshooting of each individual service can be done without impacting other services. T-Metro 5324T offers a robust feature set that includes:

Comprehensive multilayer Ethernet OAM for remote connectivity management and end-to-end service monitoring

• IEEE 802.3ah (Ethernet First Mile)
  
• IEEE 802.1ag (Connectivity Fault Management
  
• ITU-T Y.1731 (service OAM)

Multiple network resiliency protocols for network-wide and service-wide protection

• G.8031 and G.8032
  
• Resilient-link
  
• Link aggregation with LACP
