Each LRE link is terminated with either the Cisco 575 or 585 LRE Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). These compact devices bridge LRE and Ethernet, and provide one (575) or four (585) RJ-45 switched Ethernet connections and two RJ-11 connectorsone for the wall and one for a telephone. The Cisco LRE CPEs device supports POTS trafficincluding ISDN or digital phonesthat coexists over the same LRE line by splitting LRE and POTS traffic at the CPE device. The Cisco 575 and 585 LRE CPEs are managed remotely through Command Line Interface (CLI) on the LRE switches or through Cluster Management Suite (CMS). Ethernet statistics and Remote Monitoring (RMON) support are available from the switch for both CPEs. The speed and duplex of the Fast Ethernet ports on the CPEs are configurable with the speed and duplex defaults set to auto-negotiate and half respectively. The Cisco 575 and 585 LRE CPEs are hot-swappable without powering down the switch or disrupting the other switch ports.
