GDC's New SpectraComm M 1:3 Multiplexer Expands SpectraComm 5000 Platform Capacity from 16 to 112 T1 Circuits.Business Editors NAUGATUCK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2003 General DataComm, Inc. (GNRD) announces the addition of M1:3 multiplexing multiplexing, in communication, technique whereby two or more independent messages, or information-bearing signals, are carried by a single common medium, or channel. to its SpectraComm 5000 family of products. GDC's SpectraComm M1:3 (SC- M1:3) provides a NEBS 3 Certified solution for bandwidth consolidation in GDC's "Telco-Tough" SpectraComm 5000 high-density platform. With the addition of 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. T3, GDC's SpectraComm platform provides the most diverse set of application support blades in the industry. A full range of networking solutions in a single shelf. As part of GDC's SpectraComm series, the SC- M1:3 complies with the highest standards of reliability, security, scalability and NEBS safety, as required in critical network environments. The New SC-M1:3 is fully compatible with all previously installed SpectraComm 5000 platforms, so installation is easy and can be accomplished with the power on, and no interruption of service to other users served by the same platform. The SpectraComm M13 occupies four slots of any SpectraComm 5000 shelf. Each SC-M13 provides interfaces for up to 28 DSX-1 signals and four SC-M13 devices (112 DSX-1 signals) can be accommodated in a single shelf. The SpectraComm M13 and SpectraComm 5000 high-density platform offers the flexibility to support a diverse set of Carrier, Service Provider and Enterprise applications: -- Service Providers wanting T1/T3 bandwidth consolidation in their colo-locations -- CLEC's back-hauling voice (local and long-distance) to/from IXCs or LECs -- Bandwidth resellers offering T1 Enterprise access from collocated SONET DSX-3 drops -- Wireless providers needing to reduce the number of T1 circuits used to back-haul traffic to/from neighboring neigh·bor n. 1. One who lives near or next to another. 2. A person, place, or thing adjacent to or located near another. 3. A fellow human. 4. Used as a form of familiar address. v. cellular base stations -- Enterprise users who require access from fiber/SONET DS3 drops and wish to consolidate high volume data, voice and video traffic, and communicate with multiple branch locations. The SC-M13 supports 1+1 hardware redundancy with "hitless" protection. Because DSX-1 drop and DS3 line circuits are on the same card, any hardware failure on the primary card will result in automatic switching to the redundant card with no loss of frame synchronization While receiving a stream of framed data, frame synchronization is the process by which incoming frame alignment signals, i.e., distinctive bit sequences (a syncword), are identified, i.e. to the non-affected line or drops. The SpectraComm M13 multiplexer See multiplexor and multiplexing. multiplexer - multiplexor provides comprehensive management options. Support is provided for VT-100 terminal interface for local configuration or via dial-up using GDC's V.34 4-port modem. An embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. proxy agent, fully compliant MIB (1) (Management Information Base) The hierarchical database used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP) to describe the particular device being monitored. MIB objects are identified using ASN.1 syntax. See SNMP, RMON, OID and ASN.1. and integral Ethernet 10/100 BaseT interface is provided for SNMP/Telnet management. The new SpectraComm M1:3 is available now.
