The ASMi-54L SHDSL.bis modem is a cost-effective, managed device for extending E1 and
Fast Ethernet services over multi-pair bonded copper links. Built-in IP routing capabilities allow business users to create a secure Layer 3 VPN for branch office communications over public IP networks without requiring leased line services. In addition, the ASMi-54LRT enables enterprise users to benefit from improved, symmetrical data rates and increased service coverage for bandwidth consuming applications, such as video conferencing.

Ethernet capabilities and QoS support

Featuring a built-in Ethernet switch, the ASMi-54LRT SHDSL.bis modem with built-in router includes up to four 10/100BaseT user ports and supports VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware bridging. VLAN stacking (Q-in-Q) and stripping functionalities enable transparent traffic delivery over packet-switched networks with optimal efficiency. QoS (quality of service) levels are defined according to VLAN priority (802.1p), DSCP, or per port, offering users flexibility in differentiating traffic handling depending on application requirements. Up to four priority queues are supported using Strict Priority (SP) scheduling. Fault propagation enables the units to shut down the Ethernet user port when an SHDSL line failure is detected. EFM bonding capabilities ensure that a failure or addition of a link does not drop the traffic being transmitted over the other wires in the group. Capacity is also maintained when a new link is added at a lower rate during Ethernet transmission.

IP routing functionalities

The ASMi-54LRT incorporates a built-in router to allow secure and efficient Layer 3 IP connectivity over packet switched networks. The device enables port forwarding whereby packets are delivered according to a static or dynamic NAT/PAT (network address translation/port address translation) table. This allows multiple LAN devices to share a single public IP address, so that outgoing traffic appears to originate from a single device – the ASMi-54LRT.

Solid Firewall™ protection for the LAN and WAN interfaces, as well as for the DMZ sub-network, provides security against unauthorized network access, including malicious denial of service (DoS/DDoS) attacks. Protective measures include rate limiting for ingress packets of vulnerable types, stateful packet inspection (SPI) and service authorization, among others.

Management options

The ASMi-54LRT supports the following management connections for configuration, monitoring and diagnostics:

• Local RS-232 terminal
• Telnet server, SNMP (ver.1)
• RADview-EMS Web server
• Network links for Inband management with a dedicated VLAN
