Intelligent CSU with advanced diagnostics and Service Level Management features

An Intelligent T1 CSU/DSU solution

The iMarc 9128 is ideal for providing customer premises termination of T1 and fractional T1 services including:

       Leased Lines

       Frame Relay/PPP access facilities

       IP networks that use Frame Relay/PPP as the layer-2 protocol

       TDM drop and insert to a DSX port (provides T1 channelized voice or data user interface)

With features that help sites get in service faster, stay up longer, and get replaced sooner, the iMarc 9128 is built to support the most demanding enterprise network environments. iMarc provides versatility needed to adapt to changes in network technology as new services and applications are introduced, and supports two routers on a single Frame Relay circuit via dual V.35 ports.

A Flexible Next Generation Access Device

The iMarc 9128 CSU/DSUs are available in two feature sets:

       Basic diagnostic feature set provides basic frame relay and diagnostic capability.

       Service Level Management (SLM) provides basic features, plus reporting and monitoring.
