BASIC UNIT

• The basic unit includes power supply, T1 link and one data port.

• The T1 interface is compatible with virtually all carrier provided T1 services and meets ITU recommendations G.703, G.704, G.706 and G.732. The T1 interface supports either 2 or 16 frames per multiframe, with or without CRC-4. Zero suppression over the line is HDB3. The integral LTU (optional) ensures a range of up to 2 km.

• FCD-T1M can be ordered with a fiber optic link, which eliminates the need for an external fiber optic modem. The fiber optic link provides a secure link in hazardous or hostile environments. It complies with ITU standards G.921 and G.956.

• Four fiber optic interfaces are available:

• 850 nm LED for use over multimode fiber at distances up to 5 km (3 miles)

• 1300 nm LED for use over single mode fiber at distances up to 47 km (29 miles)

• 1300 nm laser diode for use over single mode fiber at distances up to 62 km (38 miles)

• 1550 nm laser diode for use over single mode fiber for extended range up to 100 km (62 miles).

• Timeslot assignment is programmable, allowing data from each data port and from the sub-T1 port to be placed into timeslots consecutively. FCD-T1M also provides additional flexibility, by giving full user control over the data ports timeslot allocation without restrictions.

• Multiple clock source selection ensures maximum flexibility for supporting different applications. The T1 main link may be clocked from the recovered receive clock, from an internal oscillator, from one of the data ports or from the sub-T1 port.

• Bypassing the sub-T1 port to the main link (non-fiber optic), ensures uninterrupted service to the sub-T1 port and provides immunity to hardware and power failure.

• FCD-T1M is available as a standalone unit. A rack mount adapter kit enables installation of the unit in a 19" rack.

USER INTERFACE

• The following data port interfaces can be ordered: V.35, RS-530, V.36/RS-449 or X.21. The ports can operate in the following clock modes:

DCE transmit and receive clocks are output

DTE1 external transmit clock is input (coming from the user DTE)

DTE2 both the transmit and receive clocks are externally input

• Invert data sampling is done using an invert clock.

• The optional built-in Ethernet bridge is a high performance remote, self-learning bridge. It is ideal as a LAN extender or segmenter over T1 link applications. The LAN table stores up to 10,000 addresses and is automatically updated. Filtering and forwarding is performed at the maximum theoretical rate of 15,000 pps (wire speed) and the buffer can hold 256 frames with a throughput latency of 1 frame. Filtering can be disabled for extender or segmenter applications. The Ethernet port is available with 10BaseT (UTP) which operates in full duplex.

• The optional built-in Ethernet router is a high performance remote IP router. It is ideal as a LAN extender or segmenter over bit-stream type infrastructures. The router works by taking each Ethernet frame from the LAN and according to its destination forwards the packets to the IP net on the Ethernet LAN or to the WAN. The Ethernet port is available in 10BaseT (UTP) which operates in full duplex mode.

• The optional sub-T1 port can be configured to work without CRC-4, while the T1 main link is working with CRC-4. Thus, connection of T1 equipment not supporting CRC-4, over an T1 network that is working with CRC-4 is available.

MANAGEMENT & MAINTENANCE

• Setup, control and monitoring of status and diagnostics information can be activated via:

• ASCII terminal connected to the async control port command line interpreter

• SNMP management connected to the async control port.

• FCD-T1M has an internal SNMP agent and can be controlled by any generic SNMP station or by the RADview SNMP network management application.

• FCD-T1M supports dial-in, dial-out modem connections. These connections can be used for remote out-of-band configuration, monitoring and for sending callout alarm messages using serial V.24 SLIP, PPP or Ethernet ports.

• In-band management can be performed by using the spare bits (Sa bits) on timeslot 0 or by using a dedicated timeslot using standard protocols, Frame Relay (RFC 1490), PPP and standard RIP2 routing. This allows setup, monitoring and diagnostics of the remote unit. In-band access by using spare bits on timeslot 0 is possible only if those bits are passed transparently end-to-end.

• Maintenance capabilities include user activated local and remote loopbacks at the T1 main link, sub-T1 and data ports. The user can activate a BER test for each data or sub-T1 port individually. Each data or sub-T1 port responds to an ANSI FT1 RDL (T1E1.2/93-003) in-band loop code, generated from the remote FCD-T1M or DXC in a specific bundle of timeslots allocated only to that port.

• When operating with CRC-4, T1 network statistics are stored in memory according to RFC-1406. The statistic information may be retrieved locally through the control port.
