Hello all,
My company is searching for some Ethernet over DS3 converters / adaptors
for a specific installation. I see several options from Adtran,
RAD-Direct, and a couple other (smaller) vendors and was wondering if
anyone out there has suggestions or insights.
Our needs are pretty simple:
We'll need to pass multiple VLANs unless that's simply not possible.
We'll need copper 10/100 interfaces on each side.
Here are the two main products we're currently eyeing....
Adtran Product:

Thanks very much for any suggestions.

We currently use Overture Networks for Ethernet over DS3:

You can use them as a simple Ethernet bridge if that is all you
need/want, but they also will handle VLAN tagging, tag-in-tag, VLAN
switching, rate-limiting, CoS, etc. Some people don't like them because
there is no CLI for management only a web-based GUI and SNMP.
