AS-I AS-INTERFACE OVERVIEW

Anyone who has practiced engineering for any length of time has a healthy respect for Murphy’s Law. On the subject of networking, Murphy’s Law states that when you roll out a new network design, the odds are that you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your proficiency. You’ll demonstrate it onsite, in front of your biggest and most important customer as they wait impatiently for their network to return to life.

Another important consideration is testing and certification. Do you have the tools and resources to test, troubleshoot and certify your AS-i implementation? A key to selecting a vendor to get “AS-i in 30 days” is to make sure that your vendor has all the right tools and can assist you with troubleshooting, locating adequate test tools and the certifying your device.

  » You must consider documentation. There are standard documentation formats for network devices. Your customers will expect your products to follow these standards. To get to market in 30 days, documentation issues need to be addressed early in the process.

  » You must consider certification. Many customers simply will not purchase products unless they have passed a certification test. It’s not uncommon for products to be sent back to the lab a second or third time before they finally pass. If RTA, Inc. does an AS-i implementation for your product, you are guaranteed first time success.

  » You must consider Maintenance and Support. There are keys to success for any new technology. There will be inevitable corrections and revisions to the initial specifications. How you deal with these changes matters a great deal.
