The L342 is a managed 1Gbps Fibre Channel Extender. It extends
Multimode Fibre Channel up to 110km over single mode fiber. It is designed for
installation into the Canoga Perkins carrier class UCS platform, and is also
available as standalone for desktop or wall-mount installations.
The L342 retimes and reshapes the signal to allow for maximum
achievable distances while maintaining data integrity. To our customers, this
means reliable long distance extension. NEBS Level 3 tested and certified, the
L342 provides an extremely reliable, yet cost effective solution suitable for
the most stringent network deployments.
Optical port options include 850nm (MM), 1310nm, 1550nm or CWDM
wavelengths. The L342 is also available with single fiber bi-directional optics
to allow our customers to maximize their fiber cable utilization. User
selectable Link Loss Forwarding, and Canoga Perkins unique Link Loss Echo
features facilitate the troubleshooting of problems on any portion of the
link.
The L342 supports SNMP management and Telnet access using the
UCS Domain Management Module (DMM) capable of managing 240 modules using a
single IP address. The network manager may set up and monitor activity through
the use of a Command Line Interface (CLI) included with the L342 or by using
CanogaView®, a graphics based Network Element Manager. The network manager can
also obtain accurate and real-time visual status of the link from a set of front
panel LEDs.
