The Avara OAP402 Optical Access Point is a highly
reliable, feature rich and cost effective integrated access device with multiple broadband 10/100Base-T and
narrowband Voice Frequency and Serial Data interfaces for use over single mode or multi mode optical fibre in
point to point, linear or ring network topologies.
To address the technical challenges of deploying ethernet applications while still
providing support for the time critical requirements of TDM and industrial applications,
Avara has designed the OAP range of managed optical network terminal.
The OAP series of products provides an integrated
solution for delivering TDM and ethernet services over a packet based
ethernet fibre network.
Avara’s OAP402 takes TDM based voice and serial data services (X.21/V.11 or RS.232) and converts them into
packets for transport over IP and ethernet based networks.
VLAN’s, Traffic Management and Security
The OAP402 provides extensive VLAN, traffic management and security features.
-IEEE 802.1Q VLAN’s
-VLAN stacking (QinQ)
-Rate limiting per ethernet port
-Port Mirroring
-Port locking
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN’s offers significant benefits in terms of efficient use of bandwidth,
flexibility in network design, and security. VLANs allow devices distributed throughout
the network to be grouped together based on logical function rather than physical location.
Avara’s OAP402 VLAN and traffic management features makes it possible to classify and protect
critical devices in the network from unauthorized user access, unwanted traffic, broadcast storms,
or malfunctioning devices.
