T1/E1 CrossConnect Routing/Switching System
The Intraplex® CrossConnect System and CrossConnect Server provide routing and switching capabilities for up to six T1 or E1 circuits, as well as automatic backup switching for STL links. The CrossConnect Server also accepts a wide variety of plug-in modules for integrated drop and insert of voice, data and program audio. Station operators can dynamically route services among multiple studio and transmitter locations, sharing programming and administrative resources among geographically separated facilities. CrossConnect Servers reduce transport link requirements, providing cost savings in both point-to-point and point-to-multi-point networks.
Broadcasters can mix and match program audio, voice and data feeds among multiple studio and transmitter locations and save on programming, talent and administrative costs by sharing transmission resources among stations.
Harris® Intraplex® CrossConnect Systems and Servers can help ensure the most efficient use of the available transmission capacity and reduce costs. CrossConnect Systems and Servers give users complete flexibility to combine, interconnect, and multicast traffic among up to six T1 or E1 lines.
Features
- Interface with as many as six T1 or E1 lines
- Cross Connect Servers accept channel cards, providing local voice, data and audio interfaces for up to 48 time slots (T1) or 62 time slots (E1)
- Programmable automatic T1/E1 line protection switching for studio-to-transmitter (STL) links
- Individual time slot routing among all T1/E1 ports
- Automatic protection switching on any of the T1/E1 ports
- Eight time slot grooming maps
- Multicast encoded audio feeds from a studio to multiple transmitter sites
- IntraGuide software and optional SCMIP SNMP proxy provide flexible, intuitive network configuration and management options
