16 Port
E1 Groomer
VCL-MegaConnect-Jr. for
Hi-Z Non-Intrusive Monitoring
|
VCL-MegaConnect, the
E1 (also available in T1) 16 port Hi-Z Monitoring Groomer is
available for non-intrusive live traffic monitoring (high
impedance) applications in which E1 (or T1) ports can be
connected to monitoring / billing equipment for non-intrusive
monitoring of live traffic or signaling, required by billing
servers etc. |
 |
- The
16 E1 Port Groomer for
Hi-Z Monitoring (Data Sheet - PDF) provides upto 7 E1
links (14 E1 Ports) plus 2 additional spare E1 ports (Normal-Z) to
connect to the measurement-probe, billing servers etc.
In the monitoring mode the Groomer
provides the user a total of 16, E1 (or T1) ports. 14, E1 ports
connect to the “live traffic” E1 links which are to be monitored,
non-intrusively (Hi-Z) in both transmit and receive directions. 2
additional E1 (or T1) ports connect to the monitoring equipment,
such as billing servers etc.
The additional solutions are offered
and available for Hi-z non-intrusive live traffic monitoring
applications are:
The E1 Groomer (and T1 Groomer) are
capable of monitoring a -20dBdsx (0.3Volt Pulse) E1 (or T1) signal
through a Hi-Z path, without in any way disturbing the live E1 (or
T1) traffic that is required to be monitored. The E1 (or T1)
connector(s) shall be RJ-45 120 Ohms (for E1) and 100 Ohms for T1 and
a "Y" cable is provided (included) to connect E1 (or T1) Groomer
equipment to the E1 (or T1) ports that are required to be monitored.
The user shall have the full flexibility to choose and select upto a
maximum of 30 time-slots (to be monitored in 'both' transmit and
receive direction), through the internal TSI non-blocking switch,
from any of the 30 E1 ports that are required to be monitored.
Highlights
The VCL-MegaConnect, 16
Port E1 monitoring groomer, occupies only a 2U high rack-space, and
is a complete 19-inch stand alone unit. The unit operates on a -48V DC
input power-supply (AC input adapter is optional for AC mains
operation).
The system is supplied
with an easy to use Windows (95, 98, Me, XP) Graphical User
Interface that provides the user a complete control to prepare
multiple configuration "maps" and store them as easy to read
data files. It may also be accessed using CLI (Command Line Interface)
through a Serial (COM) Port of a PC using HyperTerminal text
commands. Dry contact relay alarms are also available at rear of the
system to connect the system to external audio and visual alarms
outputs.
The VCL-MegaConnect, 16
Port E1 monitoring groomer also has a TCP / IP Access feature which
allows the DACS to be connected on a TCP / IP network (10 / 100 Base
Interface) for remote access for configuration and monitoring using
Telnet.
