DCS-9500 Series

T1/E1 CrossConnect Routing/Switching System

Increase the efficiency of digital transmission networks, reduce recurring cost, and protect critical T1 and E1 network traffic. When communications requirements or geography demand connectivity among several different sites, the network fabric may grow to include multiple, meshed T1 or E1 lines. Harris Intraplex CrossConnect Systems and Servers can help manage these lines to ensure the most efficient use of the available transmission capacity and reduce costs. Network efficiency is maximized through consolidation of Land Mobile Radio interconnect, PBX, Internet, LAN, telephone and data traffic from multiple locations into common T1 or E1 circuits.

CrossConnect Systems and Servers give users complete flexibility to combine, interconnect, and multicast traffic among up to six T1 or E1 lines. In addition, the CrossConnect Server accepts a wide variety of plug-in modules for integrated drop and insert of voice, data, program audio and video services.

Features

Interface with as many as six T1/E1 ports
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
Individual time slot routing among all T1 ports
Eight time slot grooming maps
Versatile system timing options to connect to almost any network
Reliable, small size, low power consumption and flexible configuration
IntraGuide™ software and optional SCMIP SNMP proxy provide flexible, intuitive network configuration and management options
