GDC DeskTop 554A
T1 / FT1 CSU/DSU
OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW The DeskTop 554A (DT 554A) is a single channel CSU/DSU that provides
economical, advanced network access at full T1 or fractional T1 (FT1) rates in
an attractive, compact package. This highly reliable, user-friendly
product is an excellent choice for branch office environments where network
management is not needed, or for central sites requiring a basic high
speed access solution. Remote site DT 554As can be combined with a GDC
SpectraComm 5000 System at the central
office for a cost-effective, integrated T1 / FT1 network. And, the DT 554A
interoperates with GDC’s DataComm 554 T1 / FT1
CSU/DSU, or with any other data set conforming to the ANSI T1.403 specification,
enabling easy placement in existing networks.
FLEXIBLE, HIGH SPEED
ACCESS
When your existing application has outgrown 56 Kbps, the DT 554A is the answer.
It supplies bandwidth as high as 1.544 Mbps for
remote LAN access and Internet service provisioning, while saving on equipment
costs. And its V.35 or optional EIA-530 interface
interconnects LAN routers, T1 multiplexers, videoconferencing, CAD/CAM, and
medical imaging equipment over today’s more attractively priced FT1 services.
SERVICE COMPATIBILITY
The DT 554A operates at all N x 56/64 Kbps rates from 56 Kbps to 1.536 Mbps
where N=1 to 24) and at 1.536 Mbps in framed, or
1.544 Mbps in unframed, modes. It supports both the ANSI and AT&T 54016 versions
of Extended Superframe (ESF), D4 framing, as well as AMI and B8ZS (clear
channel) line coding, to ensure compatibility with the latest digital services.
In addition, the DT 554A complies with the AT&T 54019A specification for FT1
transmission — a requirement for access to Frame Relay services.
EASY INSTALLATION
EASY INSTALLATION The DT 554A simplifies both initial installation
and any future reconfiguration. A console port on the back panel allows for soft
optioning and status monitoring via a VT-100 terminal using simple, text based
screens. In addition, the DT
554A can be con-figured through clearly marked on-board option switches, making
it easy for the enduser to install. An array of
LEDs and front panel controlled tests quickly verify equipment operation, as
well as identifying signal status and alarm conditions. To make things even
easier, the DT 554A automates both Line Build-Out (LBO) and framing format
selection.
POWERFUL DIAGNOSTICS
POWERFUL DIAGNOSTICS The DT 554A supports powerful diagnostic tests, including a
full complement of loopbacks, to isolate and quickly resolve system faults.
Network administrators can use the DT 554A’s VT-100 interface or convenient
front panel switches to test the T1 aggregate circuit, bundled channels, and
data terminal equipment (DTE). The DT 554A even has a built-in test pattern
generator/error detector to minimize the need for external test equipment. For
added flexibility, the network administrator can select from multiple test
patterns, including QRSS (Quasi-Random Signal Source) to stress test the T1
link, as well as ITU-T 511 and 2047 for data channel testing. DTE EIA status
reporting and a series of reported alarms can be accessed through the VT-100
terminal. In addition, ESF registers p r ovide the carrier with in-service
statistics to help monitor the overall performance of the network.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE The DT 554A employs the latest digital technology to ensure
the most trouble free operation possible over the widest range of T1 circuits.
Since it incorporates powerful VLSI and microprocessor components, it consumes
very little power, resulting in low heat dissipation and longer component life
for years of reliable performance.
