The E1 Groomer (E1 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 E1 traffic that is
required to be monitored. The E1 connector(s) shall be RJ45 120 Ohms for E1 (and 100 Ohms
for T1) and a "Y" cable is provided (included) to connect E1 Groomer equipment
to the E1 ports that are required to be monitored.
The user shall have the full flexibility to choose and select upto a maximum of 31
time-slots (to be monitored in BOTH transmit and receive direction), through the internal
TSI non-blocking switch, from any of the 32 E1 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 E1 monitoring
groomer, occupies only a 2U high rack-space, and is a complete 19-inch standalone unit.
The unit operates on a -48VDC 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 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.
Applications:
- 32 Port (plus 4 ports for connecting to monitoring
equipment) E1 monitoring groomer
- Monitoring of “Live Traffic” on E1 links which are
to be monitored, non-intrusively (Hi-Z) in both transmit and receive directions.
Indications and Alarm Monitoring:
- Loss of incoming signal at any E1 Port
- Configuration Error Alarm
- Clock Status
- 1 to 8 channel LED indicators to indicate the status of each
E1 channel
- +3 Volts Power Supply
- -48VDC present
Configuration Error
Programmable Features:
- Specifying the priority sequence for clock selection.
- Enabling or disabling E1 channels (masking) of the E1
channels that are not is use.
- Creating a cross - connect between E1s (and T1) at DS-O
level (single time-slot level) using the Windows based, easy to use GUI.
- Telnet interface for remote programming.
