Benefits
Connect with Metro Ethernet Power
The ZyXEL MGS-3712 and MGS-3712F L2 Gigabit Ethernet switches offer Layer 2 switching capability in
a smart enclosure. With non-blocking 24 Gbps switching fabric, the MGS-3712 and MGS-3712F feature
8 GbE copper ports (8 port GbE SFP on MGS-3712F) and 4 dual-personality GbE (GbE SFP +
1000BASE-T) ports.
As a well-known technology for decades, Ethernet interfaces are much less expensive than SDH or PDH
interfaces of the same bandwidth. Ethernet also supports high bandwidths with fine granularity which
is not available on traditional SDH connections.
Another distinct advantage of an Ethernet-based access network is the easy connectivity to the
customer network, thanks to its prevalent use on corporate and, more recently, residential networks.
Bringing Ethernet to the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) discovers many advantages to both service
providers as well as corporate and residential customers.
Secure Multi-Service Delivery
The ZyXEL MGS-3712 and MGS-3712F also come with advanced L2/L3/L4 features, high-performance
hardware platform, robust security, Quality of Service (QoS) and management features to deliver
intelligent connectivity to essential business applications. Incorporating new features such as VLAN
Stacking (also known as VLAN Tunneling) and VLAN Translation, it is possible to isolate the customer
traffics from each other or the internal core network signaling traffic.

Advance Design with Metro in Mind
On MGS-3712 and MGS-3712F, the “Front Access” outdoor cabinet design for easy wiring and
maintenance has been added to meet Metro Ethernet demands; and flexible power source choices like
AC/DC dual-input also relieves customer of outlet constraints. In addition, the PWM control fan module
not only reduces the noise, but also extends MTBF and improves reliability. External alarm
input/output block connects mechanical cabinet parts to the management network, while the
operation temperature and high humidity protection allows the network to spread more extensively.
