Application Modules

PATHmaster
?a T1/E1 compact digital crossconnect switch with integrated DSU/CSU functionality targeted at hub locations, base station sites, and customer premises. The PATHmaster comes in two, three, and four T1/E1 port configurations and each includes two V.35 or RS-530 data ports. Two- and three-port versions are remotely software-upgradeable to activate all four ports.

TRANSmaster
?expands the capabilities of the PATH master by adding 2:1 ADPCM voice compression for supporting dual mode AMPS and digital cell sites. The TRANSmaster is also used for MTSO-to-MTSO and PSTN connection applications.

BANDmaster
?a four T1/E1 inverse multiplexer with integrated crossconnect capability that is used to front-end microwave radios for high-speed data applications and/or to provide multi-megabyte data connectivity at branch offices.

DATAmaster
?a high-density four port serial module that is used for data channel bank applications such as SS7 channel consolidation between mobile switching center locations.

LINKmaster
?a multi-link CSU that provides connections for up to two full or fractional T1/E1 circuits. The LINKmaster provides four T1/E1 ports with integral CSU/DSX-1 circuitry on all links. The LINKmaster functions as a low cost dual CSU or repeater application module and is remotely software-upgradeable to full PATHmaster functionality.

HUBmaster
?a five-port 10/100 MB Ethernet hub. The HUBmaster is environmentally hardened and expands the number of Ethernet ports available while conserving space.

PORTmaster
?a quad-port Ethernet 10/100 hub with a quad port asynchronous terminal server that expands the capabilities of the PACKETcore IP bridge/router module to provide additional Ethernet hub ports and to network-enable the remote management and control of serial devices that might otherwise be unreachable.

Plug-on Modules & IP Routing

PACKETcore
?a compact, high performance IP/IPX router that is an optional upgrade to the MASTERseries application modules, excluding HUBmaster and DATAmaster. It features integrated firewall, a single 10/100 Ethernet port, two serial ports, and robust IP/IPX routing.

TELEport
?a portable full function FXS port that is used to eliminate costly POTS lines at BTS sites by integrating standard PSTN connectivity into the T1/E1 backhaul circuit. The TELEport?s unique portability allows for the plug-on to be shared between BTS locations and used only when needed ? further reducing the costs associated with direct PSTN connectivity at cell sites.

PACKETport
?a full function, portable IP access router designed to provide cost-effective LAN connectivity in cell sites and remote locations.
