10/100 Ethernet ASE enhances the analysis functionality of the TruView and Visual Performance Manager systems for Ethernet networks. The ASE provides up to 100 Mbps of detailed network traffic analysis and management while maintaining full wire speed pass-through of all traffic. It supports both IP transport and OmniPoint software. When deployed inline, the ASE includes LinkSafe™ technology to protect circuit integrity in case of an ASE outage, as well as power failure notification.
 

The 10/100 Ethernet inline ASE has a wide variety of deployment options. The Ethernet ASE is typically deployed as an inline probe on the access line between LAN devices such as the LAN switch and router. (See Option 1). Other options include positioning the ASE on the Ethernet segment between a subscriber's router and a network terminating unit (NTU) such as a DSL modem or a service provider switch (Ethernet as WAN access) (See Option 2), or connecting the ASE to a router or switch SPAN port.
 

The IP Transport and OmniPoint ASE is designed to support real time synchronized troubleshooting for the network, applications, and VoIP. The unit supports on demand traffic captures, as well as real time custom configurable SNMP traps for rapid Mean Time to Identify analysis.
