Key Benefits

• Multi-speed DSL. Full-duplex, symmetric transmission in three selectable speeds of 64 kbps, 128 kbps, or 144 kbps on a single copper pair offers users a choice of bandwidth and budget options.
• Long reach. Provides wide market coverage with a reach of 36,000 feet using a mid-span “U” loop ISDN repeater and 18,000 feet without repeaters.
• Transparent to DLCs. Guaranteed to work on any “ISDN ready” loop, even if connected via a DLC or a “U” loop repeater.
• Prioritizes low-latency traffic. Supports differentiated services such as Voice over DSL (VoDSL).
• Broad service availability. Interoperates with widely deployed CopperEdge® DSL concentrators and CopperView™ network management tools.
• Remote troubleshooting. Powerful remote diagnostics including Ethernet and DSL traffic statistics and bit error rate loopback tests ensure ease of management.
• True plug-and-play. There’s no software to install and no hardware configuration necessary. This reduces service costs by eliminating installation visits to the customer premise. DSL users enjoy ZIP!™ (Zero Installation Procedures) initialization.

DSL LAN Extension
Using IDSL and ordinary copper telephone wires, the CopperRocket 201 IDSL CPE provides dedicated, full-duplex throughput at speeds up to 144 kbps. Critical network activities like file transfers, intranet access, and Internet access perform as if remote user workstations were directly attached to the network.

With Copper Mountain’s CopperVPN™ and VWAN (Virtual Wide Area Networking) technologies, the CopperRocket transparently links remote users to the Internet and corporate information resources. The CopperRocket does not require complex routing administration.

CopperThrottle™ Multi-Speed DSL
CopperRocket’s multi-speed DSL feature enables service providers to offer the right amount of bandwidth at the right price, plus the flexibility to alter DSL service speeds as customer needs change. Users have a choice of three service speeds—64 kbps, 128 kbps, or 144 kbps. It takes only seconds to configure new speeds and the CopperRocket immediately adapts to the new speed without end user hardware swap-outs or software upgrades.

Transparent to DLCs and Repeaters
Copper Mountain IDSL uses industry-standard 2B1Q line coding and can pass transparently through telco DLC systems. IDSL can also work with standard “U” loop ISDN repeaters, which extend the range to 36,000 feet from the CO. Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) enables loopbacks to pinpoint problems on loops using DLCs.

Service Prioritization
Delay-sensitive IP traffic received from the LAN is prioritized for transmission on the DSL. This ensures that real-time applications like VoDSL receive priority. DSL supports tiers of service through low-latency traffic prioritization.

ZIP!—Zero Installation Procedures
The CopperRocket is truly plug-and-play. There are no hardware switches, no console port, no configuration parameters, and no end user software configuration required. Simply plug in the DSL jack, Ethernet cable, and power cord. With Copper Mountain’s ZIP! feature, the CopperRocket identifies itself to the companion CopperEdge DSL concentrator and automatically downloads all configuration parameters to begin full operation immediately.

Workstations attached to the CopperRocket can have manually configured IP addresses or they may acquire IP addresses automatically from a DHCP server. The CopperRocket remains transparent to IP address assignment and management. When using DHCP, virtually all complexity is eliminated for end users; they enjoy enhanced productivity of continuous-availability, high-speed networking within minutes of powering up.
