A-1180 Carrier Ethernet Demarcation
Multi-Port Carrier Ethernet Demarcation
The A-1180 is a Carrier Ethernet Demarcation device that enables multiple Ethernet services to enterprises and business subscribers. Owned by service providers and located at the customer premise, it provides a clear demarcation point between customer and service provider networks. Besides delivering managed services to customers via MEF-UNI with QoS control for each service, the A-1180 has all the necessary carrier-class carrier-class management and OAM functions essential for service providers to monitor network health and performance up to the demarcation point.
Product Highlights • 8-port Fast Ethernet MEF-UNI MEF-UNI supporting multiple services • Q-in-Q based based service mapping mapping and identification • Support for for QoS attributes attributes of SLA • Modular FE and and GE fiber uplink uplink modules using pluggable SFP/SSF with transceiver information display and DDM (as per SFF-8472) functions
Ethernet Services, E-Line and E-LAN as defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum, have become the new revenue drivers for service providers serving business and residential customers worldwide. There is now an emerging need for Service providers to evolve their service strategy and offer multiple services using a single demarcation device at the customer location. While significantly reducing the cost of customer acquisition and adding new services to the same customer location, this strategy also reduced the complexity and overall cost of service delivery.
Working seamlessly with the A-Series Switches end-to-end Carrier Ethernet product portfolio, including the A-2000 family of edge switches, A-4100 aggregation switch and A-8100 metro core switch, the A-1180 allows service providers to deliver multiple services with guaranteed Committed Information Rate (CIR) and bursty Excess Information Rate (EIR) for each service. Simple and elegant point-and-click provisioning and management of the A-1180 A-118 0 and the broader broader Carr Carrier ier EtherEthernet product portfolio is supported via ASPEN. ASPE N.

Product Overview The A-1180 is a Carrier Ethernet Demarcation device with eight 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interfaces on the customer network side. Each service per port uses the Q-in-Q based service mapping and identification to provision an Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) corresponding to the service. The uplink slot on the service provider network side supports both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet uplink modules. The FE and GE uplink modules use pluggable SFP transceivers using either dual strands or single strand fibers of various distances, allowing service providers to cost effectively connect the A-1180 to fiber local l oop.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is also supported as per the SFF-8472 standard. For off-net deployment, a 10/100/1000Base-T uplink module is available, simplifying the co-location of the A-1180 with the access point of the 3rd party network.

Applications Ethernet UNI for E-Line and E-LAN Services in a Nokia Siemens Networks A-Series Switches Environment
Ethernet UNI for E-Line and E-LAN Services in Any Existing Edge/Core Network
The A-1180 is an ideal demarcation Functioning as UNI for E-Line and device for operators who want to reE-LAN services, the A-1180 can be place the existing media converters or deployed as the endpoint of these other legacy devices at the customer services, working with A-1180 or premise in order to deliver high-value A-2100 as the other endpoints across Ethernet services to business custoan A-Series Switches edge and core mers. The A-1180 can be connected network. directly to the existing provider network Operators can provision E-Line and via its FE or GE uplink interface and it E-LAN services in a point-and-click can be managed, either in-band or outmanner. Hard QoS is ensured for each of-band, from a central location. service, and 50ms protection can be guaranteed within an A-Series Switches edge and core Customer Premise network. 8x10/100 Base-T

Ethernet UNI for E-Line and E-LAN Services in Off-Net Carriers who want to offer Ethernet services outside their own regions may use off-net from a 3rd party service provider. The A-1180 can be used to connect the end customers on the access side and the off-net on the network side. A modular uplink provides the most convenient way to connect to the off-net.

Features & Benefits Eight 10/100Base-TX Access Ports – More Services and Applications In a compact form factor, the A-1180 provides eight access ports which allows service providers to provision multiple services. The access ports can also be used for other applications like connecting the out-of-band management port of other CPEs at the same customer location so network management can be extended to those CPEs.
Modular Uplink Interface – More Flexibility and Lower Migration Cost The A-1180 uses a modular design for the uplink interface to the provider network. Service providers can choose the uplink module that: • Best fits the last mile network • Migrates smoothly from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet local loop • Connects the A-1180 in an off-net deployment
Per-port Rate Limiting & Priority Queuing – Customized QoS for Each Service The A-1180 supports configurable QoS, such as rate limiting and traffic prioritization, for each service. Used with other A-Series Switches edge and core products, the A-1180 supports Connection Admission Control (CAC) and allows service providers to provision CIR/EIR and delay/jitter bound for their SLA.
OAM – Easy Remote Trouble Shooting The A-1180 supports such OAM functions as: • Link Fault Propagation • Dying or Last Gasp • Ethernet loopback • Standard traps • DDM for monitoring optical performance on the physical layer
Integrated in ASPEN Fault Manager and Device Properties, these OAM functions allow service providers to easily monitor the health of the network all the way to the demarcation point and receive precise error messages. In addition to the Fault Management capabilities listed above, the A-1180 supports standards based Performance Monitoring per the ITU-T Y.1731 standard. Performance monitoring statistics enabled by Y.1731 include Packet loss, delay, delay variation, and continuity.
Full Integration with ASPEN – Easy Service Provisioning and Management The A-1180 is fully managed by ASPEN, Nokia Siemens Networks’ industry-leading network management and service provisioning system. Ethernet services can be provisioned in a point-and-click manner with the A-1180 as the endpoint of the services.
