Overview
Transcend VP IP Enhanced is the Value Proposition solution to Ethernet microwave radio links – designed and built for cost, reliability, and performance. The Transcend VP IP Enhanced split-mount microwave radio is software adjustable up to 8 x E1/T1s with simultaneous support of TDM and Ethernet traffic on up to 8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports. An additional 4 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports are available for Command and Monitoring and traffic routing. With wide frequency support covering all licensed bands and bandwidths from 6 GHz to 38 GHz and the highest system gain in the industry, Transcend VP meets worldwide coverage demands for different network configurations and path conditions.
Transcend VP includes full featured Ethernet switching functionalities through its built in 8-port 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet switch and routing functionalities through its built in 4-port 10/100 BaseT Ethernet router. Ethernet capacity can be flexibly assigned with support for port-to-port VLANs, flow control, and statistics. Microwave network configuration is simplified through Transcend VPs ability for automatic discovery of other radios along a network via an Ethernet cable or a radio link. IP configuration is also flexibly supported through RIP. Advanced Ethernet functionalities include traffic shaping.
Traffic grooming, cross connection, expansion, and redundancy is supported through the integration of a front plane high speed serial interface. This ring network’s serial connection offers high bandwidth, forward compatibility with Allgon Microwave’s latest radios and flexibility in radio and rack layout.
Transcend VP includes a secure Embedded Element Manager (Web interface, Telnet, and SSH) built upon open standards. Allgon Microwave’s optional NetWay Manager™ is a complete network management suite compatible with all Allgon Microwave’s point-to-point microwave radios.
