Overview

The T1 E1 J1 Switch provides non-intrusive failsafe monitoring and intrusive test and diagnostic capability for up to 8 full duplex T1, E1, and J1 lines. The unit provides two RJ-48c connectors for a thru connection for equipment and line connections and a Rj-48c monitor connector for monitoring both directions of a full duplex high speed line.

The switch can be remotely controlled via a USB connection. GUI and scripted control software is available for placing the switch in various modes for monitoring and diagnostic purposes.

The unit provides

  • Two RJ-48c connectors for a thru-mode connection for equipment and line connections
  • One Rj-48c monitor connector for monitoring both directions of a full duplex high-speed line.

The T1/E1/J1 Switch can be configured/controlled from a local GUI or remotely using GL's Windows Client Server (WCS).



Main Features:

  • Monitoring & Intrusive testing can be done on both the equipment and line directions of a given T1/E1/J1 line.
  • The switch can be controlled locally or remotely for testing access to telecommunication lines.
  • Switch provides a fail-safe configuration on the event that power is lost.

Working Modes of T1/E1/J1:

The switch has three basic modes of operations:

  • Thru-mode: This mode allows the signal to pass through the device by disconnecting the test access. With the test access disconnected, the test card from the line will be set inactive, and therefore the signals will pass through the switch without any monitoring.




  • Monitor-mode (Default State): In this mode user can monitor either line or equipment telecommunication sides.




  • Intrusive mode: This allows test access on either the line or equipment telecommunication sides.




The monitor and intrusive modes have additional detailed configurations, which allow greater control of the test access as indicated in the user manual.


Software Controlling of Switch:

The switch can be controlled using either T1/E1 Switch Application software or using GL's Window Client Server (WCS).

The T1/E1 switch software allows the user to control the switch without sending remote control commands.

The Windows Client Server (WCS) is an application that allows the user to access the switch through a remote control script interface. The commands in the script interface is explained in the GL Server Command Reference manual.
