Introduction 
The Prisma
®
 EtherLinX
 unit enables service providers to offer differentiated data 
networking or virtual private network (VPN) services to multi-tenant building and 
business customers. Residing at the customer premises or at the service provider 
point of presence (POP), the Prisma EtherLinX unit provides a VLAN-based Layer 2 
entry point to the metropolitan area network (MAN) fiber network, trunking, 
differentiating and separating customer traffic.  Featuring SNMP management, 
bandwidth control, quality of service (QoS), traffic prioritization, and multicast 
pruning (using IGMP v1, v2), it is an ideal solution for delivering Ethernet-based 
services to customers quickly and cost-effectively.  The Prisma EtherLinX unit also 
features Telnet, and firmware upgrading through serial configuration or Telnet via a 
TFTP server.
