The ENX-F is a smart and versatile access network device for Ethernet access links and expanded services, such reducing operating expenses and improving margins. It offers SyncE and Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE1588) support to expand provider’s clock-domain till the end-customer.
Its functions cover current and future access network requirements and it enables efficient solutions through easy configuration, test and monitoring interfaces.
ENX-F implements a fully managed demarcation function between customer network and service provider network. It monitors end-to-end connectivity and SLAs via its integrated test functionality.
ENX-F can derive SyncE from all ports and fulfils ITU requirements for jitter, wander and hold-over. For IEEE1588 it can operate as Boundary Clock (BC) and Ordinary Clock (OC). It provides accurate distribution of the PTP protocol across multi-port networks. As boundary clock it may be slaved to a master on one port and act as master on all other ports.
ENX-F offers independent interface and service control with integrated throughput test functions according to RFC 2544 (benchmark for network interconnect devices).
It incorporates Ethernet operations management according to Y.1731 (OAM functions), 802.1ag and 802.3ah (EFM), configuration management via HTML browser, via SNMP and SSH.
