14-2 Axxius 800 - Release 2.2
Quad T1 & Quad DS1/E1 Card
Overview
Overview
The Hardened Quad T1 and DS1/E1 Service cards enable wireless service providers to
cost-effectively provision and expand network bandwidth and groom available DS0s
onto other T1 tributaries for optimal T1 bandwidth utilization. The card can be inserted
into any slot of the eight-slot Axxius 800 and is software selectable for DS1 or DSX
operation. It provide full 1/0 cross-connect capability, drop-and-insert functionality
and supports fractional and full T1 services, as well as DS0 trunking. This service card
has been specifically hardened to stand up to the extreme environmental conditions
commonly associated with wireless cell site deployments.
NOTE: The E1 functionality of this card is not currently supported on the
Axxius platform.
When fully equipped with eight Quad T1 Service cards plus the four-port DS1
Controller, an Axxius 800 can support up to 36 T1 ports. This available bandwidth
enables the Axxius to cost-effectively address fixed-wireless service distribution,
mobile wireless backhaul and daisy-chained DS0 distribution to remote cell sites. The
flexible T1 Service card features four front-panel 8-pin RJ-48C shielded connectors.
The T1 Service card can be locally or remotely managed as a component of the Axxius
800 platform. The card can be configured using a Command Line Interface (CLI).
Hardened Quad DS1/E1 Service card
This card is configurable to DS1 or E1 (E1 will be supported in the future) with a single
CLI command, regardless of Controller type.
Hardened Quad T1 Service card
The Hardened Quad T1 Service card enables cost-effective provisioning and expansion
of T1 bandwidth with full non-blocking digital cross-connection of all timeslots to any
Adit service card.
