SYN4E for FOX 515/512

SDH STM-1/STM-4 aggregate interface

Todays applications in substation environment ask more

and more for extended bandwidth of the communication
channels. Especially Ethernet over SDH (EoS) services are
consuming significant bandwidth of SDH networks. The
SYN4E module provides enhanced traffic capacity with its
4 x SFP cages for STM-1/4 SFPs. This allows to build up
broadband WAN networks to tackle the increased traffic
requirements. Ethernet ports and EoS mappers are direct-
ly integrated in this module.

The flexible design of SYN4E allows to setup first a STM-1

backbone network by ensuring future upgradability to STM-4
once the traffic requirements exceed the available bandwidth

Beside this SYN4E supports various different redundancy

schemes which are well known from the FOX515 system and
ensure highest availability of your optical network.

SYN4E at a glance SYN4E architecture

2 x SFP cage STM-1/4 The SYN4E is part of the large number of modules which
2 x SFP cage STM-1 can be plugged into a FOX515 slot. Like all FOX515 modules
4 x 10/100/1000 BaseT ports SYN4E is
On board high order and low order cross connect
powered from the FOX515 shelf
MSP & SNCP protection scheme
configured by USCT
EoS mapper on board
supervised by the FOXMAN management system
VCAT & LCAS support
Synchronos Equipment Timing Service (SETS)
The SYN4E module can provide up to four ports using the
Redundant configuration supported for SETS
SFP cages on the front. This allows to adapt to the actual
project requirements. The Ethernet ports are compatible with
NEBRx modules.
