Paradyne Delivers New Data Consolidation Solution for Its 9000 Series Access Muxes.LARGO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 1998 -- Paradyne, a pioneer and leader in digital network access, today announced the release of its new cost-effective OCU-DP OCU-DP Office Channel User-Data Port data application cards for its 9000 Series Access Mux, the 9109 OCU-DP. Available now, as either a two- or six-port card, Paradyne's OCU-DP cards allow users to reduce facility costs by consolidating multiple 56/64K leased lines into one or more T1 lines. Each port on the OCU-DP card can be individually configured to operate over a 4-wire facility at either 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps, supporting both switched 56K applications and point-to-point 56/64K data applications. FEATURES AND BENEFITS With today's focus on intelligent integrated access, remote diagnostics Vehicle Diagnostics Vehicle diagnostics enables a mechanic to diagnose the exact mechanical condition of the vehicle and its systems and components. Remote Diagnostics enables to perform such diagnosis without requiring the vehicle to physically be present for checkup. , system optimization and rapid return to service, Paradyne continues to deliver cost-effective network solutions, such as its 9000 Mux and the new OCU-DP cards. The cards' built-in local and remote test capabilities reduce costs of installation and ongoing maintenance. Because the new cards are modular and hot swappable See hot swap. , they assure network managers quick removal and insertion without having to remove cables or impacting other circuit cards. Front panel LED indicators enhance ease of maintenance for on-site personnel. Paradyne's adherence to applicable industry standards ensures optimal product performance and reliability. There are two key customer applications supported by the OCU-DP card. First, customers can use the cards to reduce facility costs associated with dedicated point-to-point 56/64 Kbps connections by consolidating these lines into a single T1 facility. In this application, the 9000 Series Access Multiplexer equipped with one to four OCU-DP cards are used to concentrate multiple 56/64 Kbps services into a single T1 facility. In addition, the 9000 units could also be used to support both voice and high-speed data applications. The second key application that the 9109 OCU-DP supports is switched 56K video. For example, an external video codec (1) A hardware circuit that converts analog video (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) into digital code and vice versa. The term may refer to only the A/D and D/A conversion, or it may include the compression technique for further reducing the signal (definition #2 below). See codec. could be connected to one or two OCU-DP ports either using internal or external switched 56K DSU/CSUs. The connection between the DSU/CSUs can be up to 18,000 feet. The OCU-DP ports convert the 56K digital data format from the line side into a digital DSOA DSOA Dreyfoos School of the Arts DSOA Distributed Scatternet Optimization Algorithm format which contains the 56K of data, plus the necessary signaling information (AB, ABCD See CompTIA. bits) required to set up the call to the far end video equipment. Other Paradyne cards supported in the 9000 Mux are the Single T1, Dual T1, 4-Port Sync, and the 8-Port FXO FXO Foreign Exchange Office , FXS (Foreign eXchange Station) The interface provided by the telephone company to its customers, which includes dial tone, power and ring voltage. The telephone jack on the wall is an FXS interface. , and 4-wire E&M. Modular hot-swappable redundant AC or DC power units are available. The multiplexer can be installed in 19" or 23" equipment racks, wall mounted or as a standalone unit. The 9000 Access Mux can be configured locally via VT100 port or remotely using SNMP/Telnet.
