Management and VLAN Support for Ethernet Extender

Metrodata has launched a new version of the popular WAN-in-a-CAN (WC) Ethernet Extender family, bringing VLAN support and Management to this cost-effective WAN Switch range. Each of the WC Ethernet Extender products offers a simple "plug and play" approach to extend a customer's Ethernet LAN to remote sites via Serial (X.21 or V.35), E1 (2Mbps G.703) leased line or E3/DS3 leased line connections. The new WCM1000 builds on the existing 10/100 Ethernet over E1 Extender, offering remote management via Telnet or SNMP, as well as Native VLAN support. The WCM1000 supports local Switching via a 4-port10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN switch module, thereby removing the need for external switches or hubs in smaller LAN installations. VLAN support is offered either in pass-through/trunking mode or Tag Switching mode, whereby traffic is switched between ports dependent upon VLAN ID. A highly efficient HDLC encapsulation of packets ensures that maximum throughput is achieved on the WAN link. Internal packet buffering enables the WCM1000 to smooth out bursty traffic without packet loss.
