E1/T1 Interface
•
The electrical interface meets requirements of ITU G.703 standard for E1 and
T1.
•
FOM-E1/T1 supports both balanced and unbalanced interfaces.
When FOM-E1/T1 detects electrical interface levels below G.703 electrical levels,
the modem transmits an “All 1 signal” (AIS) to the optical interface.
Test and Diagnostics Capabilities
•
FOM-E1/T1 supports local and remote loopback activation.
•
FOM-E1/T1 features a dry contact alarm port (DB-9) for attaching an external
alert device.
•
When an AIS is detected at the optical or electrical interface, the modem
transparently converts the signal and alerts the user via front panel LEDs.
