E4G-200 Cell Site Routers

The Extreme Networks E4G-200 routers provide 12 resilient synchronous Gigabit Ethernet ports and 16 T1/E1 ports in a compact (1RU or 1.75 inches high) unit.

Note

Note

Unless otherwise noted, the term E4G-200 refers in this document to both models in the E4G-200 series: the E4G-200 and the E4G-200-12x.

The Ethernet ports support both IEEE 1588v2 and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) timing, and the T1/E1 ports support time division multiplexing (TDM) timing. The router provides high-performance pseudowire capability, supporting both CESoPSN (channelized) and SAToP (unframed and unchannelized) TDM services. Deployed at the cell site, the E4G-200 cell site router collects traffic from 2G, 3G, and 4G radio towers for handoff to the mobile backhaul over fiber or microwave.

The E4G-200 extended temperature range of -40°C to +65°C allows service providers to deploy the E4G-200 router at sites without climate control.

Features:
  • Management and console ports
  • Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) dedicated ports
  • Four 100/1000BASE-X (SFP) ports

    These ports require Extreme Networks optical modules that are designed for use within the temperature range of the router.

  • Slot for clock module
  • Slot for T1/E1 module with 16 ports
  • Grounding lug
  • Redundant DC input power connectors

The E4G-200 router has an integrated DC power supply with dual feeds on the front panel. Power feed A can be connected to one power source and power feed B can be connected to a different power source to provide protection should either source of power fail. The power supply is not field-replaceable.

The back panel of the E4G-200 router provides an alternate attachment point for the grounding lug.

Status LEDs on the E4G-200 router are described in System LEDs.
