D ATA S H E E TNet-Net 4500HardwareThe Net-Net 4500 is a 1U rackmountable (1RU) system. With itsintegrated multi-processor design,the Net-Net 4500 achieves thehighest levels of session processingand capacity, system throughputand redundancy in a 1RU systemdesigned for medium to largeNet-Net 4500 frontservice provider, enterprise,government and contact centerapplications.The front of the Net-Net 4500features a bright LED display, singleRJ-45 serial console interface, USBport for local storage and the systemfan pack including replaceable filter.The rear of the Net-Net 4500includes a single network interfaceunit slot as well as slots forredundant, load-sharing AC or DCpower supply units (PSU).Net-Net 4500 rearNetwork Interface UnitsThe rear slot of the Net-Net4500 accommodates a singleNetwork Interface Unit (NIU)module. Net-Net 4500 NIUs areoffered in a variety of configurationsto address a wide range of network,service and application scenarios.Net-Net 4500 NIUs include two10 Gbps or four 1 Gbps-capableEthernet interfaces for signaling,media and data traffic. The NIUsalso integrate the system alarmand management interfaces,including those used for the physicalconfiguration of high-availabilitysystem pairs.Net-Net 4500 NIUs are available inBase or Advanced models offeringa selection of interface speeds andconnection types: 10/100/1000 Mbps with copperRJ45 connectors 10/100/1000 Mbps via smallform factor-pluggable (SFP)copper transceiver 1 Gbps via small form factorpluggable (SFP) fiber optictransceiver 10 Gbps via small form factorpluggable (SFP ) fiber optictransceiverNet-Net 4500 Base NIUs withEncryption and QoS Monitoringand Reporting OptionsTo meet the demands ofscalable, high-quality real-timecommunications, Net-Net 4500NIUs offer on-board hardwaredesigned to offload the CPU fromprocessor-intensive functions, suchas security and QoS monitoringand reporting.Net-Net 4500 NIUs with SFPinterfaces can accommodateon-board processors for IPsec andSRTP encryption, QoS monitoringand reporting, or both. Theencryption acceleration hardwareenables secure communicationswithout compromising end useror subscriber quality of experience(QoE).QoS monitoring and reportinghardware monitors and measureseach media flow through the system,calculating quality scores (such asMean Opinion Score, or MOS), andaggregating the information intodata for transmission to externalreporting or accounting systems.On-board QoS monitoring andmeasurement is also utilized for realtime functions such as QoS-basedrouting and load balancing, alsowithout compromising end user orsubscriber quality of experience.Net-Net 4500 Advanced NIUsNet-Net 4500 advanced NIUshelp the Net-Net 4500 delivera combination of performance,capacity and functionalityunmatched by other platforms inits class.With a distributed, multi-processorapproach that leverages the latestDSP and multi-core processors,the Net-Net 4500 is capableof performing many high-endfunctions, but at capacity levelssuitable for most enterprises andsmaller service providers.
