  2. Corporate Headquarters Established 1993 Portland, OR Hardware Engineering Software Development PCB Manufacturing Privately held 80% Revenue Growth in FY 2003 The Leader in Physical Layer Switching & Automation

  3. INTELLAPATCHPhysical Layer Switches • Layer 1 OEO Switch • Protocol Independent, Data Rate Specific • Does not read packets or modify data • Up to 144 Ports, Non-blocking, Any-to-Any connections, Wire-speed • Point-to-Point (full duplex), Multicast (1 to N), and Loop Topologies • Remote switch management via a LAN (TCP/IP) or Serial port

  4. INTELLAPATCH Models • Fiber Optic (LC connectors) • Multi-Rate (100 Mb/s – 3.2 Gb/s) • Fibre Channel (1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, 10 Gb/s) • Ethernet (100 Mb/s, 1 Gb/s, 10 Gb/s) • SONET OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 (155 Mb/s, 622 Mb/s, 2.488 Gb/s) • FDDI • Copper • T1/E1/J1 (RJ-48C) • 10/100/1000 Ethernet (RJ-45) • Fibre Channel (HSSDC-2)

  5. Windows GUI Software APCON CONTROL Software Programming Software Tools CmdX: Menu mode and command line interface ASCII Command Set C/C++ API (Application Programming Interface) SNMP Agent for Windows NT/2000/XP INTELLAZONE Software Multi-User Proxy, Security, Zoning & Logging INTELLAPATCH Software Products // Start of Custom C/C++ Program #include "ApconAPI.h" #include <stdio.h> // other part of programs code /// // program entry point int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[]) { int nResult, nSwitchHandle, nModel; char szIPAddress[]= "10.1.1.160"; // open switch 1 on the IP Address nSwitchHandle = OpenNetSwitch(szIPAddress, 1); if (-1 == nSwitchHandle) { fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open switch on %s\n", szIPAddress); return 1; } nModel = GetSwitchModel(nSwitchHandle); printf("Switch Model = %d\n",nModel); if (-1 != ConnectSwitchPorts(nSwitchHandle, 1, 16)) printf("Port Change Successful!\n"); CloseSwitch(nSwitchHandle); } // more program code /// // End of custom C/C++ Program

  6. Windows Control Software • Intuitive drag & drop, real time switching • Presets instantly configure testing topologies • Port naming eliminates cabling confusion • Password Security: LAN/Serial port lockout • Temperature and power supply alarms

  7. INTELLAZONE Software • Zoning • Assign users access to zones or specific groups of ports • Switch Proxy • Allows multiple users to access a single switch via TCP/IP or serial port • Security • User name and password required for switch control • Read only, Full access, No access • Logging • Logs users, switch changes, and commands

  8. INTELLAPATCH Sales Markets • Test Lab Automation • SAN • Ethernet • Telecom/Service Providers • Military/Government • Enterprise • Equipment Sharing • Security • Avocent Digital Desktops

  9. Test Lab Automation Benefits • Automate and schedule system test routines • Decrease testing costs • Decrease testing time • Accelerate product time to market • Increase test repeatability • Remote access via TCP/IP Interoperability & Compatibility Test Lab

  10. Test Lab Applications Reconfiguration • Reconfiguration of test topologies through software • Wire once, no manual patching • Electronically move hosts & targets, trunking tests, move switch blades

  11. Test Lab Applications Reconfiguration & Sharing

  12. Test Lab Applications Cable Breaks/Port Failover • Electronic simulation of circuit or line failure • Up to 144 ports simultaneously • Schedule and script connect/disconnect sequences • “Hard node failover” does not continue to transmit frame or packet data • APS or fabric testing

  13. Test Lab Applications Analyzer Sharing • IntellaPatch functions as “Electronic Tap” • Electronic sharing of analyzers, probes and sniffers • Schedule and share devices • Across same test bed • Different test beds • Non-intrusive or direct connect

  14. Test Lab Applications Analyzer Sharing • IntellaPatch functions as “Electronic Tap” • Electronic sharing of analyzers, probes and sniffers • Schedule and share devices • Across same test bed • Different test beds • Non-intrusive or direct connect

  15. Test Lab Applications Mirroring Data to Multiple Analyzers

  16. Test Lab Applications Multicast Traffic Generators • Stress routers, switches and networks • Multicast feature sends Tx port 1 to Rx ports 2-144 • 1 Return path to analyzer • Wire speed multicasting • Reduce traffic generator costs Multicasting to Multiple Ports

  17. Test Lab Applications Media Conversion • Singlemode to Multimode media conversion • Fibre channel SM to MM • Gigabit Ethernet SM to MM • OC-3 SM to MM • OC-12 SM to MM • Optical to Copper media conversion • Fibre Channel optical to copper • Gigabit Ethernet optical to copper • Regenerates signal at full strength • Zero insertion loss

  18. Enterprise Benefits • Decrease capital equipment costs • Decrease maintenance costs • Decrease operational costs • Increase productivity • Remote access via TCP/IP

  19. Enterprise Applications Equipment Sharing Switch Sniffers to Different Span Ports

  20. Enterprise Applications Equipment Sharing Share Sniffers Across Buildings

  21. Enterprise Applications Multicast Span Ports to Devices Replicate Data to Multiple Devices

  22. Enterprise ApplicationsIntrusion Detection Systems • Amplify tapped signal to IDS • Mirror traffic to multiple IDS • Look for different signatures • “Load balancing” • Hard network shutdown from IDS threats

  23. Enterprise ApplicationsSecurity/Access Control • Physical level security • “Electronically unplug network connections” • Disconnect individual workstations & network printers • Presets control access to entire floors, departments or buildings • Military bases, government facilities, secure LANs

  24. Enterprise ApplicationsAvocent Cstation • Software allows electronic moves, adds, & changes within seconds • No wiring or infrastructure changes required • Increase security • Limit access to individual or groups of Cstations • Data cannot flow through ports turned “off • Remote software management via TCP/IP • Direct physical access to workstations is not needed

  25. Enterprise ApplicationsAvocent Cstation • Cold spare protection • 1:N or multiple protection configurations • Spare switching within seconds • IntellaPatch connects Cstations to centralized workstations • Remote software management via TCP/IP • Direct physical access to workstations is not needed

  26. Enterprise Applications Media Conversion & Amplification • Optical to Copper media conversion • Gigabit Ethernet optical to copper • Fibre Channel optical to copper • Singlemode to Multimode media conversion • Fibre channel SM to MM • Gigabit Ethernet SM to MM • OC-3 SM to MM • OC-12 SM to MM • Regenerates signal at full strength • Zero insertion loss
