T-Marc 254 and 254H with Gigabit Ethernet uplink and CES

elco Systems T-Marc 250 is a family of costeffective, fully-managed Carrier Ethernet

demarcation devices that provide service termination
and demarcation over service providers packetbased networks. As a multi-port customer-located
intelligent demarcation device, the T-Marc delivers
managed converged services (voice, video and data)
over virtual Ethernet in a metro Ethernet network.
Advanced Layer 2 Networking using Telco Systems
AccessEthernet allows total flexibility in deployment
and delivery of Ethernet services. Physical and logical
channel networking capabilities provide bandwidth
profiles, advanced traffic classes, and complete
control over how subscriber traffic is transported and
managed across a service providers network.
Circuit Emulation Services over Packet
The T-Marc 254 utilizes AccessTDM to deliver legacy
TDM over Ethernet enabling service providers to
extend their reach and addressable customer base
to include both voice and data without sacrificing
revenues from existing TDM services. The T-Marc
254H has been optimized for wireless backhaul
applications with standards-based synchronization and
is temperature-hardened for outdoor installations.
Based on Circuit Emulation Services over Packet (CESoP)
standards for T-Line (T1/E1) services, the T-Marc
protects users legacy equipment investments PBXs,
routers with T1/E1 interfaces while cost effectively
enabling Ethernet service providers the ability to offer
revenue generating services over dedicated, managed
next generation packet networks.

Advanced Networking Features

The T-Marc offers a rich management toolset for
multi-vendor interoperability in element, network and
service management to reduce operational expenses
(OPEX) and scale management to large access
networks.
By augmenting existing IP/SNMP-based management
frameworks with IEEE/ITU-T OAM protocols and MEF
frameworks, the T-Marc family provides proactive
health and status updates on network topology and
application behavior.
The T-Marc supports standards-based management
to enable service provers to use any off-the-shelf
management system to manage a T-Marc device
as an independent network element with its own IP
address.
Telco Systems BiNOSCenter management system
provides both standards-based and extended
standards-based management.
To reduce operational expenses and scale management
to large access networks, existing standards-based
SNMP management is coupled with a secure IP-based
proxy management solution to provide proactive
health and status information on individual links and
connections.
Enhanced troubleshooting tools include optical
power monitoring, quality of equipment monitoring,
and quality of line monitoring to enable fast fault
identification that minimizes the need for expensive
truck rolls.
