SC-SDT Applications Overview

The SpectraComm Synchronous Data Transfer device (SC-SDT) is designed primarily for 
packetized, HDLC-based Synchronous Data Transport applications and Contact Sense 
applications. The NEBS-compliant SC-SDT can be deployed anywhere in the IP network where 
synchronous devices, craft port equipment or contact relays are located. 

DTE/DCE devices at any SC-SDT site can exchange sync data with devices at other SC-SDT 
sites.

From the Management Station, all SC-SDT units are managed via Telnet and HTTP. 
Password-protected local (craft) access is also supported.

The rear panel DB-25 connector provides contact ports for alarm traps. In a future release of the 
device, alarm transfer between locations will be supported.

Figure 1-2

 shows the SC-SDT at remote sites supporting multiple applications simultaneously. 

Each application is detailed in the pages that follow the figure.
