DS1/E1 Copper Access Framer
CopperNodeL™ is a highly integrated Ethernet over PDH Framer capable of mapping Datacom traffic into DS1/E1 copper based transport formats. It is equipped with data service client interfaces such as 10/100/1000 Ethernet and also offers a generic SPI-3 packet interface to allow for transport of other protocols. It supports 1:1 mapping of Ethernet clients into PDH transport containers using HDLC or GFP based encapsulation as well as Layer 2 aggregation of multiple Ethernet clients into a single PDH transport container with VLAN and Q-in-Q.

Description
The CopperNodeL multi-protocol framer is designed to enable rapid development of next-generation Metro Ethernet and PDH transport solutions for existing, widespread copper based PDH infrastructures. The combination of Gigabit and 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet client ports and a packet co-processor interface along with DS1/E1 client ports supports delivery of current and future revenue generating services. Integrated DS1/E1 network ports also allow for transport over leased or owned facility types.
Using standardized Virtual Concatenation, individual transport links can be bonded together into higher capacity virtual links. The integrated Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) protects against member link failures and also provides a mechanism for increasing or decreasing the bandwidth of any virtual link by changing the number of members. CopperNodeL supports both Frame Mapped GFP and HDLC based packet encapsulation to provide compatibility with existing and emerging network equipment from multiple vendors. CopperNodeL also allows for onboard Layer 2 aggregation of multiple Ethernet client flows into a single transport container.
As with all Galazar IC technology, CopperNodeL is fully integrated in Galazar’s industry leading and field proven configuration and management framework. This framework provides advanced capabilities such as warm start, interrupt management and a wide variety of troubleshooting tools, and is accompanied by extensive hyperlinked documentation and customer system support.
