Model 3092 iDSL DACS overview

Model 3092 iDSL DACS overview

The Model 3092 links up 24 iDSL circuits to multiple WAN uplink modules with completely flexible groom­ing. The DACs combines dual-redundant power supplies, a time-slot multiplexer, and a centralized manage­ment system into an ultra-sleek 1U chassis. The subscriber side connects to industry standard iDSL modems
for 64/128/144 kbps service over a single pair. The WAN links accept T1 or E1 network connections and by
using the built-in digital cross connect, the Model 3092 can flexibly groom any DS0 (64kbps) channel to any
other DS0-channel.

Each 64/128/144 kbps iDSL port requires only a single pair of wires for reliable data transmission at ranges in
excess of 5.5 km. 2B1Q line encoding ensures spectral compatibility within existing voice/data bundles. Each
WAN port terminates T1/E1 with flexible any-to-any DS0 mapping. The entire system can be managed
through SNMP/HTTP-based management screens.

The Model 3092 uses 24 iDSL remote modems at any DTE rate supported by the modem to extend the con­nections between digital (ATM/FR/DDN/IP) networks, thus permitting multi-service access to CLECs, ISPs,
and PTTs.
