32 Port T1 Groomer
Hi-Z Non-Intrusive Hi-Impedance
Monitoring Solution - 2U high

VCL-MegaConnect, the T1 x 32 port Hi-Z Monitoring Groomer is available for special non-intrusive monitoring (high impedance) applications in which T1 ports can
be connected to monitoring / billing equipment for non-intrusive monitoring of live traffic or signaling, required by billing servers etc.

The 32 T1 Ports Groomer for Monitoring (PDF) provides upto 16 T1 links (32 T1 Ports) plus 4 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 32, T1 Ports. 32, T1 ports shall connect to the “live traffic” E1 links which are to be monitored, non-intrusively (Hi-Z) in both transmit and receive directions. 4 additional T1 ports shall connect to the monitoring equipment, such as billing servers etc.

The Groomer (T1 Monitoring DACS) is capable of monitoring a -20dBdsx (0.3Volt Pulse) E1 signal through a Hi-Z path, without in any way disturbing the live T1 traffic that is required to be monitored. The T1 connector(s) shall be RJ-45 100 Ohms (for T1) and 120 Ohms for E1 and a "Y" cable is provided (included) to connect T1 (or E1) Groomer equipment to the T1 (or E1) ports that are required to be monitored.

The user shall have the full flexibility to choose and select upto a maximum of 24 time-slots (to be monitored in both transmit and receive direction), through the internal TSI non-blocking switch, from any of the 32 T1 ports that are required to be monitored.

Additional solutions offered and available for Hi-Z Non-Intrusive Monitoring applications are:

The VCL-MegaConnect, 32 Port T1 monitoring groomer, occupies only a 2U high rack-space, and is a complete 19-inch standalone 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 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, 32 Port T1 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.
