Model 2616RC T1/E1 T-DAC overview
The Model 2616RC (see figure 1 ) provides 16 T1/E1 ports. A built-in digital cross-connect switch provides
completely flexible grooming: the capability to connect any DS0-channel to any other DS0-channel from the
WAN uplink ports or the T1/E1 ports. The T-DAC combines a time-slot multiplexer and a centralized web-
based management system on a front and rear blade for insertion in a Patton ForeFront chassis with a chassis
mid-plane architecture. The front blade contains LED status indicators, an RS-232 configuration port and a
10/100 Ethernet management port. The rear blade contains the T1/E1 WAN port connections. The 16 T1/E1
ports connect to channelized T1 or E1 network connections.
Each WAN port terminates T1/E1 with flexible any-to-any DS0 mapping. The entire system can be managed
in-band (via T1/E1 Frame Relay/PPP links) or out-of-band from a web browser by means of SNMP/HTTP-
based management screens.
