Universal Gateway Manager (UGM)

The Cisco Universal Gateway Manager (UGM) is a next-generation element management system offering robust, scalable, carrier-class capabilities for the Cisco AS5000 series of Universal Gateways. Providing comprehensive FCAPS (fault, configuration, accounting/inventory, performance, security) capabilities, the UGM enables operators to effectively configure, manage, and maintain dial access networks. The Cisco UGM facilitates the rapid deployment of new services and provides quick and effective network diagnostics to meet the rigorous demands of today's fast-moving marketplace.

FastStep for Access Servers

The FastStep for Access Servers configuration tool offers three main features to make the set up of an AS5300 quick and painless. The first is a simple GUI interface for fast configuration and set up; the second is a step by step configuration of trunk lines, LAN and WAN interfaces, IP address pools, and authentication; and the third is an easy download utility to load IOS and modem portware images to server. Fast Step for Access Servers comes bundled with every AS5300 purchase.

Resource Pool Manager

Cisco Resource Pool Management (RPM) enables wholesale access providers to virtually lease universal ports supporting either voice or dial to their retail SP customers. Wholesalers can aggregate resources across universal gateways (UGs) and allocate subsets of these resources to retail SPs, guaranteeing that customers receive their allocated ports. Service level agreements (SLA) for each retail SP are enforced by RPM. Resource pool management can be done using the RPM component of the resource pooling solution on the UG or by using this in conjunction with one or more external RADIUS-based Cisco Resource Pool Manager Servers (RPMS). RPMS supports multi-vendor environments, providing the universal gateways meet the RADIUS RFC standard.

Cisco Long Reach Ethernet Solution

The Cisco Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) networking solution delivers cost-effective, high-performance broadband access to multitenant/dwelling units (MxU) such as hotels, residential units, multitenant office buildings, shopping malls; and enterprise campus environments such as manufacturing, educational campuses, and medical facilities. Cisco LRE technology dramatically extends Ethernet over existing Category 1/2/3 wiring at speeds from 5 to 15 Mbps (full duplex) and distances up to 5,000 feet. This technology delivers broadband service over the same lines as standard telephone (POTS), digital telephone, and ISDN circuits. In addition, Cisco LRE supports modes compatible with asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), allowing service providers to provision LRE to buildings where broadband services already exist. This solution also provides multicast, Layer 2 quality of service (QoS), security, and Web-based Cisco Switch Clustering network management.

The Cisco LRE solution includes Cisco Catalyst 2900 LRE XL switches, the Cisco 575 LRE Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) device, and the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter.

Catalyst 2900 LRE XL Desktop Switches

Cisco Catalyst 2900 LRE XL switches are based on the Cisco market-leading Catalyst 2900 Series XL 3.2-Gbps switch architecture, and include all Enterprise-class features available in Catalyst 2900 XL switches. Now, service providers can address a broad range of wiring environments beyond Category 5 cabling. This gives users a low-cost, end-to-end solution and eliminates costly training.

The Catalyst 2900 LRE XL switches are one rack-unit (1RU) high, 13-inches deep, and can be either mounted on a wall or placed on a rack. The switches deliver dedicated bandwidth per port at rates up to 15 Mbps. LRE transmissions coexist with POTS and ISDN, and can be compatible with ADSL traffic in the same building. The switches can be configured on a per-switch basis to support the following modes:

5 Mbps symmetrical rate (up to 5,000-feet distance)
10 Mbps symmetrical rate (up to 4,000 feet)
15 Mbps symmetrical rate (up to 3,500 feet)

The Catalyst 2900 LRE XL switches provide fast and easy connectivity into building patch panels with one RJ-21 telco connector. The 10/100 Ethernet ports can be used to connect servers, daisy-chain multiple LRE switches, or uplink to a Cisco Catalyst 3500 XL, 2900 XL, or 2948G-L3 10/100 Ethernet switch. These connectivity options provide multiple price/performance options to meet building and budget requirements.

Cisco 575 LRE CPE Device

Each LRE port is terminated in the room with the Cisco 575 LRE Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) device. This compact device bridges LRE and Ethernet, and provides one RJ-45 Ethernet connection and two RJ-11 connectors--one for the wall and one for a telephone. The Cisco 575 LRE CPE device can be mounted on or under a desk, or on a wall. It ships with a mount lock-in mechanism and clip-on Ethernet cable guard to discourage theft, as well as an Ethernet cord. It supports voice (Plain Old Telephone Service--POTS) traffic-including ISDN or digital phones-that coexists over the same LRE line by splitting LRE and POTS traffic at the CPE device. A POTS Splitter is required for connectivity to the PBX and LRE switch stack.

Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter

The Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter is a high-density, low-cost device that is ideal for building deployments where the PBX system is on-site and POTS traffic must coexist over the same copper wiring as LRE traffic. Unlike "splitterless" building broadband network solutions, the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter ships as a separate, compact form factor to ensure that POTS service is separate, and never compromised by LRE switch reconfigurations or downtime.

The Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter supports 48 ports in a 1RU form factor. Each splitter has six RJ-21 connectors-two each for connectivity to the patch panel, the LRE switch(es), and the on-site PBX system.
