The 16 Port T1 Digital
Cross Connect Switch occupies only a 2U high rack-space and is a complete 19-inch
stand-alone unit that provides connectivity of up to 16 T1 ports. The unit operates on a -
48V DC input power-supply (AC input adapter is optional).
The system is supplied with a CLI text-based,
easy-to-use interface that offers the user complete control to prepare multiple
configuration maps (and store them as data files) and the ease of downloading them from a
PC. Dry contact relay alarms are also available at rear of the system to connect the
system to an external alarm.
The 16 Port T1 Digital Cross Connect Switch
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.
The 16 Port T1 DACS - VCL-MegaConnect Jr can
also be ordered for special non- intrusive (Hi-Z) monitoring applications in which
(pre-assigned monitoring ports) T1 ports can be connected to monitoring/billing equipment
for live traffic monitoring (non-intrusive monitoring).
