The iConverter XM5 is a 10G Network Interface Device (NID) that provides service demarcation and aggregation for Carrier Ethernet 2.0 services. The XM5 provides comprehensive support of the latest carrier-class Ethernet Service OAM, testing and protection standards. These advanced capabilities enable rapid service deployments, Service Level Agreement (SLA) assurances, comprehensive fault management and service protection to reduce operating costs and improve customer satisfaction.

The XM5 features three 10G SFP+ or XFP ports and four SFP or RJ-45 gigabit ports. The 10G SFP+ ports also support 1G SFP transceivers. The XM5 can be deployed as a node on a 10G ring with ports for Gigabit and 10G spoke links, or as a demarcation NID on a 10G access link with aggregation UNI ports for multiple tenants or cell towers.

The XM5 supports MEF-certified User-to-Network Interface (UNI) functions including Class of Service (CoS) management, granular rate-limiting, and 802.1ad Provider Bridge VLAN stacking (Q-in-Q) for service multiplexing of multiple E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree services. The XM5 provides flexible per-flow service mapping, traffic policing and shaping. CIR/EIR "two rates, three colors" ingress port policing provides the granular bandwidth optimization required for CE 2.0 services such as Business Ethernet Services and Mobile Backhaul. The XM5 also provides advanced classification and filtering of subscriber traffic as an EVC or CoS flow based on Layer 1, 2, 3 or 4 identifiers.

The XM5 supports carrier-class Ethernet Service OAM standards. IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) proactively monitors service availability and provides tools for rapid fault isolation. ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring provides the ability to monitor key SLA parameters including frame delay, frame delay variation and frame loss. These OAM features provide proactive fault detection and rapid isolation of potential service problems, enabling SLA assurance while reducing Operational costs (OPEX).

The XM5 supports ITU-T Y.1564 and RFC 2544 service testing to easily verify the configuration and performance of Ethernet services prior to customer hand off. RFC 2544 provides per flow testing of Key Performance Indicators (KPI), such as throughput, latency, jitter and frame loss up to full wire speed. Y.1564 is a comprehensive Carrier Ethernet testing standard that tests all data flows and service attributes, including multi-flow Information Rate and Traffic Policing.

The XM5 supports ITU-T G.8031 Ethernet Linear Protection Switching and G.8032v2 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching with Connectivity Check Messages (CCM) at 3.3ms rate for sub-50ms protection switching. G.8032v2 includes multi-ring protection and sub-ring support.

Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) allows providers to achieve efficiencies in service activation that accelerate turn up and reduce the need for on-site technicians. ZTP allows service provisioning to be centralized, standardized and remotely managed.

The integrated management eliminates the cost and space required for external management hardware. The integrated management provides comprehensive remote configuration and performance monitoring.

The XM5 supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, IP-Less protocol using the IEEE 802.3ah OAM channel or using SNMPv1/v2c/v3, SSH, Telnet or serial console port.

The IP address is user-defined or can be resolved through DHCP. Telnet and serial console (CLI) management interfaces are also supported, and utilize an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface. The CLI interface provides local configuration access.

SNMP management is available via Omnitron's NetOutlook® SNMP Network Management Software with an intuitive Graphical User Interface, or t
