Allied Telesis AT-CV5000 network equipment chassis

AT-CV5000, 18 slot chassis for Converteon compatible cards The AT-CV5000 is one of a family of metal chassis designed to house the range of ConverteonTM media blades, from one to 18 blades.The AT-CV5000 is an eighteen blade chassis.

Power Options
The AT-CV5000 chassis is available in two options, one supporting AC power, the other - 48vDC. All the ConverteonTM power supplies are hot-swappable and modular, installing 2 into a chassis provides redundancy should a single power supply fail. In an un-managed chassis, the status of each power is displayed via a LED indicator on the front panel, and via an LED on the power supply module at the rear. A fully loaded chassis can run continuously with only one power module fitted into the chassis.

Redundancy
To further increase system reliability, the AT-CV5000 chassis is fitted with two hotswappable fan modules. Both fan modules can be easily removed from the rear of the chassis, without interruption to the operation of the line cards. A fully loaded chassis can run continuously with only one fan module fitted into the chassis

Network Management
The AT-CV5000 chassis can operate in an unmanaged mode, by the nstallation of any number of media blades. Blades will be configured manually using DIP switches located on each blade. Alternatively, an SNMP management card can be installed into one of the slots in the chassis, which will provide a network administrator with the ability to
configure and monitor the status of the blades. Management can be achieved locally over RS232, or over the network by Telnet or SNMP.
It the blades support Ethernet in the First Mile (IEEE802.3ah), then the management module can also configure and monitor the status of a
remote blade.

Chassis Status
If the AT-CV5000 has a management card installed, then a network administrator can also check the status of the chassis, the status of the fans and the power supply modules. By ensuring the continued performance of all components in the chassis, the overall reliability of the network can be improved.

Protocol Agnostic
The AT-CV5000 chassis has been designed to be protocol, and speed agnostic.This allows network administrators to deploy the chassis in
a wide range of network topologies in addition to only Ethernet based networks.Technologies supported by the chassis include Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, Gigabit, E1/T1 & Serial communications.

Future Expansion
The AT-CV5000 chassis has been designed with the future in mind, with the inclusion of a rear mounted expansion slot. In this slot can be
fitted say, a switching module, which could convert the chassis from a media converter, to a multi-port switch, with each port having a
modular interface.
