Supports TruView and Visual Performance Manager DS3/E3 LinkSafe™ inline probe ASE, which complies with Class A standards for countries using DS3 or E3 access lines and supports digital transmission at the DS3 rate of 45 Mbps or E3 rate of 34 Mbps. This ASE supports IP Transport and OmniPoint software for deployment in frame relay/HDLC/PPPbased networks that use IP switching over DS3 or E3 physical lines.
The DS3/E3 ASE includes LinkSafe technology to protect circuit integrity incase of an ASE outage, as well as power failure notification.
This ASE is designed for deployment at the network demarcation point between a subscriber's CPE and the WAN. The figure below shows the ASE positioned between a Line Services Unit and a customer edge router on a DS3/E3 line.
What are ASEs?
ASEs (Analysis Service Elements) are data collection and network performance monitoring hardware devices placed on a wide area network (WAN) or Local Area Network (LAN) as part of the TruView and Visual Performance Manager systems. ASEs offer in-depth, real-time, and historical visibility into the performance of an applications infrastructure. Data gathered by ASEs is stored in the VPM server and displayed and analyzed from the Web portal interface. As a service level management tool, ASEs indicate when services are being met, provide warnings when services start to degrade, and send alerts when services are not met.
