or multiservice providers,
installing and maintaining
separate data and voice services
can be an expensive endeavor.
And as end users continue to
demand newer services, the task
isn’t going to get any easier without
a flexible, bandwidth-efficient
solution in place.
The BLACK BOX
®
Compact
T1 Channel Bank is that solution.
Modular in design, the channel
bank is a 2U-high rackmountable
chassis that enables you to
optimize and add services to
users
and
reduce your hardware,
deployment, and maintenance
costs. With it, you can provide
carrier-quality broadband data
and voice in a wide range of
applications—whether it‘s a wired,
wireless, or IP network one—
and not clutter your wiring closet,
central office, or wireless radio site
with numerous standalone boxes.
The channel bank is ideal for
ISPs, ILECs, MSOs, IXCs, CLECs,
and wireless mobility carriers who
want to economically give their
customers a number of voice and
high-speed data services.
Combine T1 digital cross-connects
with voice, data, and Internet access
in one scalable platform!
Key Features
COMPACT T1 CHANNEL BANK
Out of the box, the Compact
T1 Channel Bank comes with a
preinstalled T1 Controller Card that
has dual RJ-48C interfaces, so it’s
ready-made for connecting to
one or two T1 lines. Both ports
support speeds of 1.544 Mbps
(±50 bps).
Because the channel bank
features a built-in digital cross-
connect that communicates at the
DS0 level, you can deliver voice
and data services over one or more
T1s or the Ethernet WAN to make
the most of available bandwidth
in a compact platform.
To configure the chassis, you
have a number of access options.
One way is to use a Telnet
connection through its rear
10-Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet interface.
Or configure it through a console
by linking to it through the rear
RS-232 port.
The chassis’ rear panel also
has two 25-pair telco connectors
for attaching telephony devices.
These tip and ring analog
interfaces have standard 25-pair
telco connectors for connecting
key systems, fax machines,
modems, PBXs, or similar
equipment to the Compact T1
Channel Bank. The interfaces can
also be used as ISDN BRI ports.
The rear panel also has an
external 6-screw terminal block for
inputting and outputting major and
minor alarms.
On the card side, the Compact
T1 Channel Bank features six
available service slots, which
enable you to connect to a variety
of voice and data services, mixing
and matching the connection types
by simply installing the cards you
need. Within this expandable
platform, the cards provide the
physical, electrical, and logical
connections for terminating analog
lines, PBX interfaces, LAN-to-WAN
connectivity, network access, and
more.
This modularity makes the
channel bank an ideal alternative
to using bulky standalone boxes.
You get maximum service within
a smaller footprint!
For chassis power, the unit has
both 115 VAC and -48 VDC sources.
You can use the -48 VDC input
connector for either direct DC
