Imagine install so fast, so simple, that even your customer can do it. Imagine integrated intelligence that senses which ports are connected and instantly flows traffic. With Plug & Go ™, your EtherNID ^® & MetroNID ^® units take care of it. They also configure their own management settings and let you know they’re online - so you can take control and finish the job from your desk.

No more staging. No more trained technicians on-site. Delivering the absolute minimum OpEx, Plug & Go makes installing our units as simple as a cable modem.

A centralized MetroNID unit sends management beacons containing complete configuration specs that reflect your particular operational practices. Newly installed units scan for valid links, then automatically configure ports & media (SFP/copper) and negotiate line rates. Info from the management beacon tells the unit how to register an IP addres and whether a management VLAN is used.

Once configured, installed units advertise their presence; inventory tracking enabled on any MetroNID unit gives you a detailed catalog of the EtherNID & MetroNID units in your network. Simple click-through access to any deployed NID lets you quickly configure their ESAP service creation & service assurance functionality to quickly setup fully monitored Carrier Ethernet services.

Plug & Go is truly amazing – a versatile, service-provider inspired feature that simplifies the rapid roll-out of premium Ethernet Services for business access, wireless backhaul, financial trading and other demanding applications.
