Additional solutions that are offered and available for Hi-z non-intrusive live traffic
monitoring applications are:
The T1 Groomer (and E1 Groomer) are capable of monitoring a
-20dBdsx (0.3Volt Pulse) T1 (or E1) signal through a Hi-Z path, without in any way
distrubing the live T1 (or E1) traffic that is required to be monitored. The T1 (or E1)
connector(s) shall be RJ45 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 24 T1 ports that are required to be
monitored.
Highlights:
- 16 T1 (or E1) ports
- Stratum 3 clock
- Economical
- Compact
- Monitoring and Grooming applications
- Available with TCP-IP access facility for remote monitoring
& access
The VCL-MegaConnect, 16 Port T1 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, 16 Port T1 monitoring
groomer also has a TCP/IP Access feature which allows the Groomer to be connected on a
TCP/IP network (10/100 Base Interface) for remote access for configuration and monitoring
using Telnet.
Applications:
- 16 Port (includes 2 ports for connecting to monitoring
equipment) T1 monitoring groomer
- Monitoring of “Live Traffic” on T1 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 T1 Port
- Configuration Error Alarm
- Clock Status
- 1 to 8 channel LED indicators to indicate the status of each
T1 channel
- +3 Volts Power Supply
- -48VDC present
Configuration Error
Programmable Features:
- Specifying the priority sequence for clock selection
- Enabling or disabling T1 channels (masking) of the T1
channels that are not is use
- Creating a cross - connect between T1s (and E1) at DS-O
level (single time-slot level) using the Windows based, easy to use GUI
- Telnet interface for remote programming

In the monitoring mode the Groomer provides the
user a total of 16, T1 (or E1) ports. 14, T1 ports connect to the “live traffic”
T1 links which are to be monitored, non-intrusively (Hi-Z) in both transmit and receive
directions. 2 additional T1 (or E1) ports connect to the monitoring equipment, such as
billing servers etc.
