The ION S3230 is a stand-alone managed multi-service Network Interface Device (NID) that provides an interface between 10/100/1000Base-TX ports and 1000Base-SX/LX ports, allowing users to provide SLA-assurance and advanced fault management while integrating fiber optic cabling into 10/100/1000 copper environments. As a remotely managed device, the S3230 can be managed individually via an IP address or it can be managed in-band, over the fiber when linked to a C3230 card installed in a managed ION chassis. with advanced features like IEEE 802.1ag Service OAM, IEEE 802.3ah Link OAM, ITU Y.1731 Performance Monitoring, VLAN, QoS, SSH/SSL, jumbo frame support, and bandwidth allocation, the S3230 offers a variety of methods for the secure delivery of business Ethernet and mobile backhaul deployments.
