Out-of-band Router Management Sub-network
Out-of-band router functionality should be used if it is necessary to separate the management sub-network from the transport network. FOXMAN-UN provides a possibility for the management communication data to be transported over a Data Communications Network (DCN), e.g. LAN, X.25 or frame relay network, etc., using routers.
In the case of FOX515/FOX512, a router at the remote site is not necessary, as the Qx interface of the FOX515/FOX512 can be connected directly to the LAN.
The management sub-network can be implemented as a mixture of both in-band ECC sub-network, and out-of-band router management sub-network.
