FRSM for E1 features
The FRSM-8E1 and FRSM-8E1-C each provide eight E1 interfaces for full-duplex communications at
up to 2.044 Mbps. Each E1 line consists of an RJ-48 and SMB mini-connector, along with three LED
indicators for line status.
The FRSM-8E1 supports fractional and unchannelized E1 port selection on a per-E1 basis. The
FRSM-8E1-C allows full DS0 and n x DS0 channelization of the E1s, for a maximum of 248 ports per
FRSM-8E1-C.
Key Features include:
•
Eight E1 (2.048 Mbps +/-50 bps or 32 ppm) lines
•
HDB3 or AMI line coding
•
ITU G.704 16-frame multiframe line framing and clear channel E1
•
Each interface configurable as a single port (FRSM-8E1) or up to 31 ports (FRSM-8E1-C) running
at full line rate, at 56 or n x 64 kbps
•
BERT and extended loopback pattern generation/verification (with optional SRM)
•
1:N redundancy within a group of n + 1 FRSM cards on a shelf (with optional SRM)
•
LOS, OOF, AIS, RAI alarms
•
Transmitter loop-timed to receiver or synchronized to shelf
•
Supports up to 1000 virtual connections per card
