Dual-Port DS3 Controller Card

Release 2.0 For use in Axxius 800 Platform

Part Number: 740-0074

Generate new voice and data services and revenues on a single platform while capitalizing on wasted bandwidth
The Dual-Port DS3 Controller Card is a key component of the AxxiusTM 800 Access Integration Platform, delivering a cost-effective, compact solution that supports advanced voice and data services on a single platform, while turning previously wasted bandwidth into new revenues. connects to the Control Panel Interface Card for physical termination of the on-board DS3 circuits and access to the RS-232 and Ethernet management interfaces.

Configuration and remote management functionality

The DS3 Controller has several local and remote management options available. Front-panel LEDs quickly communicate alarm, system, and DS3 line status. The Controller can be configured and managed locally through the RS-232 or Ethernet management connections on the Control Panel Interface Card using a Command Line Interface (CLI). A number of remote management options are available to reduce truck roll costs for most maintenance and troubleshooting activities. The in-band DS0 management channel on the Controller delivers 64 Kbps of remote access to the Axxius 800 without incurring additional facility costs. Alternatively, a separate Ethernet facility can be deployed to support out-of-band SNMP network management. The Controller can also be accessed through the V.34 dial-in modem connection from the Single-Channel POTS Service Card with V.34 Modem.

Combined functionality with full 3/1/0 crossconnect capability

The Axxius 800 with a DS3 Controller replaces backto-back M13 multiplexers and provides 3/1/0 crossconnect capability to groom DS1 and DS0 services. It also offers service providers the ability to provide fractional T1 and DS0 level services in a single platform while continuing to fully utilize the available DS3 bandwidth. In addition, it can operate as a DS3 add/drop multiplexer, delivering T1/FT1 tributaries to remote cell sites or customer locations. With a DS3 Controller, the Axxius 800 supports up to 32 T1 ports. With two DS3 Controllers protection and redundancy is achieved. The DS3 Controller features two DS3 ports with integrated CSUs and a built-in, full, non-blocking 3/1/0 cross-connect matrix. It provides connectivity between the Controllers two DS3 ports and any of the eight Service Card slots. The DS3 Controller also

What makes the Axxius 800 with DS3 Controller Card different:
Consolidates bandwidth delivery, grooming, and management functions of multiple boxes into one 2 RU platform Compact, single-box solution that allows service providers to optimize T1 access facilities and deliver additional revenue-generating services at dramatically lower costs Rescues up to 35% or more of network bandwidth commonly wasted at the cell site or when providing fractional T1 service redistributes residual bandwidth improving network efficiency and maximizing leased lines Extends DCS capabilities to cell sites, POPs and COLOs, enabling previously unused DS0s to be used to deliver revenue-generating services Supports addition of new T1 services with existing T1 circuits
