Zhone ZNID-GE-2624A-NA Ethernet LAN White router

Indoor Gigabit Active Ethernet ONT, 2x POTS, 4x GE, NA Power Supply zNID 2600 Series Indoor Gigabit Active Ethernet ONT

Overview
Zhone's indoor 2600 Series Active Ethernet ONTs are standards-based CPEs designed for advanced triple-play deployments in campus and business environments. These indoor models in Zhone's zNID product line of ONTs provide a lower cost alternative to outdoor ONT solutions while providing unmatched flexibility in deployment.

Especially suited for FiberLAN applications, the 2600 Series GE ONTs are offered in a variety of models that include 2 or 4 FXS POTS ports and up to 8 GE LAN ports which can provide PoE power for attached devices such as IP Phones, IP-based PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and remote switches. Extended operating temperatures and input voltages allow for creative deployments in areas and applications not possible with other ONTs.

The 2600 Series GE ONTs provide the same voice features found on the 2400 and 4200 Series ONTs. SIP-PLAR signaling is supported for connections via Zhone’s Voice Gateway to traditional Class 5 TDM switches, while both MGCP and SIP are supported with connections to a VoIP Softswitch. This flexibility allows the ONTs to work in nearly all Telco networks, and with interoperability support for a broad array of Softswitches.

The four or eight GE LAN ports can be separated into different services allowing the configuration of dedicated ports for IP video and data for one or more customers. Unique VLANs may be configured per customer to ensure full isolation of each customer’s data traffic.

The 2600 Series GE ONTs are ideally suited for Fiber-To-The-Desk applications (one of several applications handled by Zhone’s optical LAN solution called FiberLan). Here, several attached IP Phones can be powered directly from the ONT’s four PoE GE LAN ports. Also, with up to four POTS ports available on the ONT, legacy FAX machines, modems and analog phones can be conveniently connected. The 20km reach of the Active Ethernet link also suits campus environments.

With its extended power input range of 12 to 54 VDC standard on all 2600 Series ONT models, new Fiber-To-The-Room applications are now possible where a single, centralized 48 VDC supply in a basement or closet can power all of the ONTs in an hotel or apartment complex using existing telephone or ethernet wiring, without suffering excessive IR losses. Delivering high speed data, voice, and television to each room throughout the complex regardless of distance, just became easier.

The temperature-hardened 2600 Series GE ONTs are also well-suited for harsher environments such as unheated but weatherproof outdoor enclosures, or mounting in areas that are not temperature controlled. Other indoor ONTs are not rated to operate in such conditions.

The 2600 Series GE ONTs can be either wall mounted inside the office or placed freestanding on a desktop, and can use the same optional fiber tray as the 2400 Series ONTs. A variety of battery backup options are available for maintaining lifeline services during AC power outages.

Flexible management means the ONTs may be provisioned using the same intuitive Web interface and CLI as the 2400 and 4200 Series ONTs, as well as through standard SNMP when using the Zhone Network Management System (ZMS). Software upgrades and configuration backups can be handled automatically by the ZMS using the CPE Manager feature. Management using a TR-069 compliant ACS will also be possible.
