T1 DXC / T1 DACS - Upto 80 x T1, 120Mbps Digital Access Cross Connect Switch

Description

The VCL-MX Version 6 DXC 80 T1, 120Mbps Digital Access Cross Connect Switch, is a modular switch that may be scaled from 8 T1 Ports to up to 80 T1 Ports. The VCL-MX Version 6, T1 DACS (T1 DXC) offers full cross-connect functionality to cross-connect between 64Kbps time-slots (DS-0s), “n"x64 Kbps consecutive DS-0s and Fractional T1 channels to full T1 channels.

The VCL-MX Version 6 DXC 80 T1, 120Mbps Digital Access Cross Connect Switch, occupies 6U high (266 mm) rack-space and is a complete 19-inch standalone unit that provides a 64Kbps time-slot (DS-0) cross-connect fabric for up to 80 T1 ports. This product offers 1+1 -48V DC Power Supply Redundancy, 1+1 Control Card and Processor Redundancy, 1+1 Cross-Connect (TSI) Redundancy, 1+1 Timing (Synchronization Clock Circuitry) Redundancy. This DXC offers “user selectable” clock / timing synchronization priority. The Dual Power Inputs allow the equipment to be powered from two separate power sources. AC input external adapter is an optional for AC mains operation.

    System Architectural Details

    VCL-MX Version 6, is a scalable DXC that may be used to cross-connect at DS-0 (64Kbps time-slot level) from 8 T1 Ports to 80 T1 Ports (120Mbps). The VCL-MX Version 6 DXC has a multi-slot chassis with TDM backplane. In the chassis, there are ten (10) T1 interface card slots. Each T1 Interface Card has 8 T1 Ports.

    Two slots are reserved for 1+1 redundant control cards, which includes the redundant cross connect, processor, TSI and clock synchronization / timing functions. One dedicated slot exists for an OAM card and two slots for 1+1 redundant power supply cards.

    Chassis / System Backplane

    All connections are made at the rear of the chassis, providing interconnections between the various plug-in cards and to the network. VCL-MX Version 6 - 80 T1, 120Mbps Digital Access Cross Connect Switch supports high-density T1 interface cards.

    An extensive set of alarms, for easy maintenance are provided in the system.

    System Management

    VCL-MX Version 6 – 80 T1, 120 Mbps Digital Access Cross Connect Switch offers a variety of management options. The equipment may be configured using CLI (English text) commands, or a GUI (Graphical User Interface). The management and configuration commands may be executed from a VT100 terminal, Windows HyperTerminal, any DOS-based system, Linux or UNIX based system, or Telnet (remote configuration and management).

    The equipment provides a wide choice of access ports for connecting to and executing management and configuration commands through its OAM Card.

    The OAM card provides

    • COM Port (RS232 Serial Port).
    • USB Port
    • 10/100BaseT Ethernet Port (each multiplexer may be assigned an IP address and connected to a LAN / IP network for remote access and management through the 10/100BaseT Ethernet Port for out-of-band configuration, management and access).

    Status Monitoring
