ACC offers complete access solution with new channelized T1/E1 interface.Computer Communications Inc. (ACC See adaptive cruise control. ), the worldwide leader in internetworking access solutions, Monday expanded its solution set for users seeking T1/E1 connectivity with the introduction of a channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. T1/E1 interface for its Amazon regional office access router See edge router and remote access router. . This new mode of operation provides channelized support for either T1 (1.544 Mbps) or E1 (2.048 Mbps), and fractional T1/E1 applications. Channelized T1/E1 provides a cost-effective method of connecting a large number of remote sites into a central site using leased lines in situations where they are less expensive than frame relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. or other switched access services, such as in urban areas. The channelized T1/E1 interface reduces the amount of network equipment required at the host site and increases the reliability of the network. Network managers can save time and money by having only one device to manage. "Our Internet connection is our lifeline," explained Mel Marcus, president of Reliable Data, who uses the Amazon with the channelized T1 mode of operation. "A significant percentage of our user community is on the Internet, and we need to provide them with cost-effective access to services. As an Internet provider Internet provider - Internet Service Provider , the channelized mode of operation is perfect since we are able to bring new customers on-line fast without additional equipment costs." Channelized T1/E1 Interface Decreases Network Equipment Costs The channelized mode of operation uses the same hardware as the ISDN PRI ISDN PRI Integrated Services Digital Network Primary Rate Interface (also seen as ISDN-PRI) card announced in late March 1995. When the channelized mode is selected, the circuits are permanent and no switching occurs. Each circuit behaves as a leased line. Circuits can be configured for 56 Kbps, 64 Kbps or multiples of 56/64 Kbps operation. ACC's exclusive Express Queuing and Data Compression data compression Process of reducing the amount of data needed for storage or transmission of a given piece of information (text, graphics, video, sound, etc.), typically by use of encoding techniques. algorithms allow up to 256 Kbps of data to be sent across each B-channel, maximizing throughput. The Amazon can connect up to 24 (U.S. T1) sites or up to 32 (European E1) sites through a T1/E1 circuit and a single Primary Rate Interface (PRI PRI: see Institutional Revolutionary party. (Primary Rate Interface) An ISDN service that provides 23 64 Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64 Kbps D (Data) channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. ) card. Up to three PRI cards can be housed in a single Amazon, supporting up to 72 (U.S.) or 96 (European) remote sites. The new channelized T1/E1 interface for the popular Amazon extends ACC's comprehensive list of connectivity options and provides another avenue of expansion into the wide area. This interface allows users to expand into the T1 or E1 market while maintaining the benefits of ACC's exclusive Bandwidth Optimization features. The channelized T1/E1 interface is SNMP-compatible and is managed in accordance with RFC (Request For Comments) A document that describes the specifications for a recommended technology. Although the word "request" is in the title, if the specification is ratified, it becomes a standards document. 1406.
