Carrier Ethernet

Carrier Ethernet is necessary, given our local, continental and global connectivity. Last night I was at a baseball game, and saw people chronically on their cell phones and one even reading a Kindle. Meanwhile, digital signage displayed the player at bat and all his personal statistics. Clearly there was no interruption of services at the stadium!  Carrier Ethernet’s promise is to ensure that all services, no matter the type, will be consistently delivered. Just think, it wasn’t that many years ago we got used to the familiar tune of a modem dial-up and......

Input or Output, and Other Confusing Things About RS-232

I just got off a tech call with a customer that was as confused as confused can be. All over what I thought was a simple RS-232 concept. Thinking about it now, RS-232 is actually not that intuitive or easy. For someone that grew up on the modern convenience of Ethernet, I guess RS-232 can be just plain complicated. First off, we got this thing called a DTE or a DCE. Not so simply put, these are types of equipment – Data Terminal or Data Communications Equipment to be precise.  A DTE......

SNMP iView

B+B SmartWorx offers an array of Fiber Optic media converters, both in a managed and unmanaged form factor. Media converters generally live in Layers 1 and 2 within the 7 OSI Layers. But media converters have evolved in the last 15 years, and their capabilities can contribute to the overall supervision of a network.  While the core switches provide a long list of commands to monitor and manage network equipment, along with a fee-based, robust SNMP software application, media converters can provide some very simple information about their status within the network. The......
