Aztek Announces Complete EOC/TMC Interface Software for Telcordia (Bellcore) GR-303 Standard; New Protocol Software Gives Access Network Vendors a Complete GR-303 Solution.Business Editors & Technology Writers BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 2001 Aztek Engineering, Inc., an international provider of software and hardware for the telecommunications industry, today announced the availability of Access303(TM) -- its latest Telcordia (Bellcore) GR-303 compatible interface software. Access303(TM) provides the remote digital terminal In telecommunications, a Remote Digital Terminal (RDT) typically accepts E1, T1 or OC-3 digital lines to communicate with a telephone Access network (AN) or telephone exchange (LDS) on one side, and forms a Local Exchange (LE) on the other, which is connected to Plain Old Telephone (RDT RDT 1. Renal dialysis treatment 2. Retinal damage threshold )(1) functions for a complete EOC/TMC and LAPD 1. LAPD - Link Access Procedure on the D channel. 2. LAPD - Los Angeles Police Department. (2). With Access303(TM), access network(3) designers can now rely on a single source for a complete GR-303 protocol solution. Access303(TM) complements Aztek's current AV5(R) products for the European Telecommunications Standards Institute's (ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Sophia Antipolis technical park, Nice, France, www.etsi.org) A non-profit membership organization founded in 1988, dedicated to standardizing information and communication technologies (ICT) throughout Europe. )(4) V5 First and Second Edition Standards(5). "The GR-303 standard is seeing widespread use in new packet-based access networks," says John Farnbach, vice president of marketing for Aztek Engineering. "This release represents Aztek's commitment to meet our customers' needs for truly portable software intended for a wide variety of RDT System Architectures." Access303(TM) has an intuitive application programming interface (API) that simplifies the software integration effort. It is scalable for different sized installations and is both processor and memory efficient. The Access303(TM) software platform is also easily portable to a variety of real-time operating systems and microprocessors and is delivered as ANSI C (language, standard) ANSI C - (American National Standards Institute C) A revision of C, adding function prototypes, structure passing, structure assignment and standardised library functions. ANSI X3.159-1989. cgram is a grammar for ANSI C, written in Scheme. source code. Other new features offered in Access303(TM) include Integrated Protocol Trace tools to speed testing, a Distributed LAPD option to help balance system load, and a Processor Redundancy analysis option to maintain high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. . To help speed development, Access303(TM) is shipped with the FastTrack EOC EOC Emergency Operations Center EOC Equal Opportunities Commission (UK) EOC Educational Opportunity Center EOC End Of Course EOC Epithelial Ovarian Cancer EOC Environment of Care (JCAHO) , Aztek's pre-built EOC Agent, which allows you to run access equipment across a GR-303 interface before fully developing backend software. The Extended EOC Features option supports ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. services, DS0 Cross Connect, performance monitoring, Loopback and Metallic Test Access, and POTS specials. Aztek provides GR-303 support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services , including training, custom engineering and integration services needed to port Access303(TM) to specific platforms. Aztek engineers can also assist in designing the system architecture and hardware environment for new or upgraded systems, including digital loop carrier In telephone communications, a technology that increases the number of channels in the local loop by converting analog signals to digital and multiplexing them back to the end office. , fiber in the loop, and wireless local loop systems.

(1) Remote Digital Terminal (RDT): side of the GR-303 interface
closest to the subscriber. The Integrated Digital Terminal
(IDT) is the other side of the GR-303 interface, usually
implemented in the Central Office switch.
(2) Link access protocol, version D. Link-level protocol designed
to ensure reliable transfer of data across networks; widely
used in telecommunications networks.
(3) Access Network (AN): A network for connecting subscribers to
the local exchange. GR-303 defines a standard interface
between the AN and central office switch.
(4) European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI):
Standards body responsible for telecommunications standards
for the European Union.
(5) V5.1 & V5.2: Specifications for an open, interoperable,
digital interface between a local exchange switch and an
access network system. (Collectively referred to as "V5").
