Reliable and consistent delivery of critical 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet Services is the cornerstone of the L351 Ethernet Service Unit's success with Service Providers. In today's demanding and competitive market, any outage is one too many. Secure management access, advanced diagnostics and traffic statistic reporting allow Service Providers to anticipate and quickly react to service impairments in the local loop.

Using Canoga Perkins' SideBand® Management Channel, Network Control can fully monitor and manage the remote ESU or NID without impacting customer traffic or reducing bandwidth to the customer. This provides transparent and non-impairing management access, essential for providing high grade services. The management structure is aligned with the Metro Ethernet Forum's EFM recommendations.
