H3308 Ethernet over Bonded G.SHDSL.bis Rack Card

Description

The Loop-H3308R plug-in card provides high-speed digital transport for Ethernet and point to point applications. The rack card converts Ethernet ports over multiple twisted copper pairs by using the 16-TCPAM, 32-TCPAM (G.SHDSL.bis) technology, and the IEEE 802.3ah 2Base-TL bonding protocol.  There are 2, 4, or 8 pairs configuration for the G.SHDSL.bis interface. The total bonded bandwidth is dependent on the number of copper wires. 
The Loop-H3308R works as a pair (master and slave).  The rack card is intended to be plugged into Loop’s rack cage Loop-C5600 for central office use. The distance that this technology can span without repeaters is dependent on the data rate. The Loop-H3308R supports configuration and diagnostics by using a local terminal or a remote Telnet or SNMP manager. This allows execution of diagnostics and fault isolation.
The bonding method ensures line cut resilience by removing failed pair(s) from an aggregation group within 50 ms. This removal decreases service bandwidth.  When the failed pair(s) has recovered, the aggregation bandwidth will become normal without disrupting the service.  For user maintenance, the bonding G.SHDSL.bis system supports manual addition or removal of pair(s) without disrupting the service bandwidth of the remaining pair(s). G. SHDSL.bis supports different line rates.  The ratio between the highest and lowest line rates can be up to 4:1.
