The T:LAN NetPro Series is ideally suited for extending communication access to remote facilities and NEs (Network Elements) for network management applications such as network surveillance, alarms backhaul, equipment provisioning, and remote console/TELNET access for field engineers and technicians.

NetPro Overview

The T:LAN LAN/WAN Interconnect System is a family of interworking solutions from Optima Telecom Inc. It incorporates features of a multi-port Ethernet Switch/Router, traditional T1/E1 CSU, Console Server and mini-DACS with optional path protection.

The family is comprised of three model series: the NetPro, the NetPlex, and the NetStream. Targeted at the carrier, wireless service provider, CLEC and mobile operator markets, the Optima T:LAN NetPro Series provides the vital link between core/corporate network or remote local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN) operating over T1/E1 circuits.

Choose Your Topology

A modern and efficient architecture ensures high data throughput and reliability. Unique packet filtering and switching features allow the T:LAN to be deployed in various topologies, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, linear networks and path protected rings. No matter whether your network infrastructure is based on T1/E1, SONET/SDH or microwave radio, the Optima T:LAN NetPro models provide the perfect fit.

Maximizing Your DS0's

Optima's T:LAN efficiently combines IP traffic from multiple sources into one or more DS0s. This not only preserves bandwidth but also frees up resources that can be used to carry actual voice streams and generate revenue.

Mixed T1/E1 Operation

Mix or convert between T1 and E1 on the fly. A few easy software configuration steps is all it takes to convert or mix T1/E1 lines in one box, cleaning up your installations and reducing inventory requirements.

Mini DACS facilitates Voice + Data Applications

Minimize costs and combine voice and data traffic over the same T1/E1. The built-in Mini-T1/E1 DACS provides n x DS0 cross connects between the two T1/E1 ports. This allows the T:LAN to add/drop IP packets at each location while forwarding non-IP or dedicated voice traffic. An optional relay bypass module protects your primary path in case of any failures.

Built-in Auto-Sensing Ethernet Switch with QoS Features

The switched Ethernet ports keep local traffic from clogging your WAN pipes and eating up valuable bandwidth. The auto-sensing 10BaseT/100BaseTX ports support priority handling and tagging to help you extend QoS features right out to the edge of your network.

Console Server for Third-Party Legacy Systems

Optima's T:LAN even lets you access equipment that was never designed to be remotely managed via IP. Whether you consider it a convenience or a lifesaver, the built-in serial/terminal access server will help you when it counts the most.

Collect Alarms and Manage Remote Equipment

Backhauling of alarms, network surveillance and remote equipment management are just some of the crucial application areas that show how our focus on Integrated Networking can save you time and money when it comes to maintaining your network. Do it all with just one integrated solution: Optima's T:LAN NetPro Series.

When Techs Need to Be In Two Places At Once

Reverse TELNET and Optima's Serial Data Conduit over IP (SDCoIP) are the perfect tools offered by the T:LAN units to help you manage your network during crunch times or when you have to administer your equipment on opposite ends of the network.

Stay Connected to Your Network

Technicians out in the field can use any of the four switched T:LAN Ethernet ports to connect to the corporate network. Whether they need to file their logs, access new work orders or simply check corporate e-mail on the go, your field personnel will now be able to access the required information without constantly incurring costly dial-up charges and having to go though cumbersome dial-in access servers.

Avoid Router Complexity

Working with T:LAN units is fast and effortless. Our intuitive, single keystroke entry style and guided parametric queries produce immediate results. No need to enter long, cryptic commands with a confusing litany of options. And we not require you and your staff to acquire a degree in router configuration first. Best of all, the T:LAN units work right out of the box. Install, hook-up, then start accessing your newly expanded LAN/WAN network.

Gain Complete Network Element Visibility

Turning up new sites has never been easier. Activate Optima's Link:Guard to monitor your circuits or use SNMP and TELNET to pinpoint trouble spots early. Get complete coverage and a concise overview about the state of your network by deploying Optima's T:LAN wherever you grow your infrastructure or require management access.

Cut Down on OAS Overhead

The T:LAN NetPro models are also perfect for radio corridor applications. Traffic from multiple sites or radios is first groomed and then combined into a single T1/E1. This reduces the number of T1/E1s that usually need to be blocked off for Operation And Support (OAS) purposes and eliminates the need to constantly upgrade expensive routers in your Network Operations Center (NOC). Optima helps you to keep up with your growing network and stay within your budget.

Compact and Flexible

The compact 1U design is ideal even when T:LANs need to be deployed in space-constrained racks. The wide AC or DC input range and low overall power consumption of each unit will be a welcome relief for any power and cooling system, especially those that are already taxed in crowded remote sites.
