1-4 Getting to Know the IES-1000
Overheating Detection, Warning and Safegaurd
An ALM LED turns on when the IES-1000’s internal temperature is too high and turns off when the temperature
has returned to a normal level. Internal fans cool the unit.
Compact Design for Limited Space
The IES-1000 occupies only 1 U of standard Telco rack space. Its compactness is perfect for collocation
(installation in a central office) and basement installation.
Scalable Platform for Future Expansion
The flexible design of the IES-1000 series allows service providers to start with minimum cost. As the number of
subscribers and applications increases additional IES-1000s can be added to provide greater bandwidth.
1.2 Applications
The following sections describe example applications for the IES-1000.
1.2.1 MTU Application
The following figure depicts a typical application of the IES-1000 in a large residential building, or multiple tenant
unit (MTU), that leverages the existing phone line wiring to provide Internet access to all tenants.
A tenant connects a computer to the phone line in a unit using a G.SHDSL or ADSL modem. The other end of the
phone line is connected to a port on the IES-1000. The IES-1000 aggregates the traffic from tenants to the
Ethernet port and then forwards it to a router. The router then routes the traffic further to the Internet.
