FCD-E1M, FCD-T1M
Modular E1/T1 or Fractional E1/T1 Access Units
Supporting Megaplex-2100 Modules
The FCD-E1M and FCD-T1M are dedicated access
multiplexers for business customers, providing
integration of voice and data traffic over full
E1/T1 or fractional E1/T1 links. They can also be
used as integrating multiplexers.
The devices have a single n x 56/64 kbps data
port and an I/O module slot supporting one
Megaplex I/O module (HS-Q/N, HS-S, or HS-U)
to provide four high or low speed data
channels, and four ISDN S or U interfaces.
Alternatively, the built-in data port can be
replaced by an Ethernet bridge/router port. The
FCD-E1M and FCD-T1M also offer an optional
sub-E1/T1 drop-and-insert port for PBX
connectivity.
The FCD-E1M can be ordered with an internal
LTU (line termination unit), allowing direct
connection to the E1 network, or can connect
via an external LTU. The FCD-T1M has an integral
CSU, for direct connection to the T1 network.
Optionally, either unit can support a fiber optic
main link interface for multimode or single
mode fiber, eliminating the need for an external
fiber optic modem.
Operates with DXC access node
The FCD-E1M and FCD-T1M can operate with
RAD’s modular DXC multiservice access node
products in multilink star applications for access
to SDH/SONET networks. The DXC and FCD units
operate under a centralized SNMP network
management.
Flexible timeslot assignment
Timeslot assignment is programmable, allowing
data from the data port and from the sub-E1/T1
link to be placed into timeslots consecutively.
FCD-E1M and FCD-T1M also provide additional
flexibility by giving full user control over the
data port timeslot allocation.
Multiple clock source selection ensures
maximum flexibility for supporting different
applications. The main E1/T1 link may be
clocked from the recovered receive clock, an
internal oscillator, one of the data ports, or the
sub-E1/T1 link.
Immunity to hardware and power failures is
provided by bypassing the sub-E1/T1 port to the
main E1/T1 link, ensuring uninterrupted service
to the sub-E1/T1 port.
The E1 interface meets all requirements of ITU
recommendations G.703, G.704, G.706, and
G.732. It supports both two and 16 frames per
multiframe, with or without CRC-4. Zero
suppression over the line is HDB3. The integral
LTU ensures a range of up to 2 km (1.2 miles).
The T1 interface meets all requirements of
TR-62411 and TR-62421. It supports both D4
and ESF frame formats. Zero suppression over
the line is selectable for either transparent,
B7ZS or B8ZS. The integral CSU ensures a range
of up to 1.6 km (1 mile).
Management options
Setup, control and monitoring of status and
diagnostics can be performed via an ASCII
terminal. The FCD-E1M and FCD-T1M can also
be managed via any standard SNMP application
or the RADview SNMP network management
application. Inband management is available via
TS0 (E1) or datalink bit (T1), or a dedicated
timeslot using standard Frame Relay (RFC 1490),
PPP and RIP-2 routing protocols.
The units support dial-in/dial-out, which can
also be used for remote out-of-band
configuration and monitoring, via serial V.24,
SLIP, PPP, or Ethernet ports.
Enhanced diagnostics include user-activated
local and remote loopbacks, an integrated BER
tester and fractional E1/T1 inband loops.
The FCD-E1M and FCD-T1M are 19-inch,
1U-high, standalone units for desktop use. A
rack-mount adapter kit enables installation in a
19-inch rack.
