What reliability and fault tolerant features does the PortMaster 4 offer?
A. The PortMaster 4 supports the redundancies and fault tolerant features network operators expect. The PortMaster 4 delivers high reliability through both software and hardware. It runs on Lucent’s industry-proven ComOS®, which was specifically designed for InterNetworking Systems applications. Tested and refined for nearly a decade, ComOS provides the most stable routing protocol implementation and exceptional scalabilty features. The PortMaster 4’s fault-tolerant hardware design virtually eliminates down time. Design features include “hot standby” modem DSPs, redundant, hot-swappable, load sharing power supplies, hot swappable fans, hot insertion of the system management and other modules. All the PortMaster 4’s modules, including the System Manager Module, are hot-swappable.
