The MetroLAN1000 provides a simple method of connecting multiple E1, T1 and fast Ethernet services over a point to point fibre link, e.g. 4xE1 plus Ethernet over singlemode fibre. The Metrodata MetroLAN1000 simultaneously supports up to 8 E1 feeds and up to 8 Ethernet 10/100BaseT feeds over either multimode or singlemode fibre.

MetroLAN1000 providing voice and data extension over singlemode fibre
This application diagram shows 2 sites connected via 15km singlemode fibre with 2xE1 and 2xEthernet services connected at each end. Via the configuration wizard over 50Mbps of uncontended bandwidth is allocated to each Ethernet link.
MetroLAN1000 extending multiple voice and data applications over singlemode fibre
This application diagram shows 2 sites connected via 15km singlemode fibre with up to 8xE1 and 8xEthernet services connected at each end. Each E1 service could either be connected to a PBX or a router. The configuration wizard dramatically simplifies the installation of complex networks.
There are three models in the range:
- MetroLAN1000/MM for use with multimode fibre (up to 5km)
- MetroLAN1000/SMSH for use with singlemode short haul fibre (up to 30km)
- MetroLAN1000/SMLH for use with singlemode long haul fibre (up to 70km)
Using fibre optics the MetroLAN1000 products extend the operating distance for a E1 2Mbps G.703 interface to 5km using low cost multimode fibre, or to either 30km or 70km using singlemode fibre. Despite these quoted maximum operating distances for the MetroLAN products, specific installations may only operate over lower distances due to the variations in losses of different types of fibre cable, the use of connecting fibre cables, or patch panels. When operating over 50% of the maximum distances it is advisable to calculate all fibre optic connector and cable losses and compare these with the fibre optic loss budget specified for this product.
The MetroLAN1000 presents 8 E1/T1 G.703 clear channel ports, which are suitable for the transmission of both structured and unstructured data, such as G.704, ISDN PRI.
The MetroLAN1000 also presents 8 LAN ports which are fully auto-sensing 10/100BaseT interfaces with manual override (e.g. 100M full duplex when connecting to Cisco routers), thereby supporting any LAN network infrastructure. These 8 independent LAN interfaces are separately allocated bandwidth and so there is no contention to worry about.
The MetroLAN1000 supports IEEE 802.3x flow control on all 10/100 ports to prevent traffic loss when reduced bandwidth is available.
The MetroLAN1000 supports large frames of up to 4096 bytes and is protocol and payload transparent. The MetroLAN1000 will pass VLAN tagged frames, including "Q in Q" double tagged frames and CISCO ISL, transparently end to end.
Configuration is via a wizard which automatically allocates bandwidth to the number of ports of each type that are selected. The fibre uplink supported up to 140Mbps of payload.
The management of the MetroLAN1000 is either local via the console port or remote via the Ethernet management port using SNMP or Telnet. Both console and Telnet access methods are password protected. Performance statistics are available for all ports. SNMP Version 1 is supported, including MIB2 and traps. SNMP traps will be generated based on alarms for any of the network or user ports. TFTP download of software and configuration data is supported as a means of future-proofing the products.
A pair of changeover relays indicate alarm conditions arising on the MetroLAN1000. The major alarm relay is energised for normal operation to ensure that a fault is signalled in the event of power failure. The integral PSU is fully auto-sensing from 100 to 250 VAC, and -48VDC powered versions are also available.
