Chapter 3: Applications and configurations

Overview

Purpose

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX) supports a wide range of service applications and a variety of network configurations economically and efficiently.

Because Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX is very flexible, most of the applications described in this section can be served over many of the available network topologies. The product configuration deployed depends on many factors such as fiber layout location, mix of services offered, and interconnections to other networks.

The first section of this chapter describes service applications. The second section explains the network topologies supported.
