Diagnostics and performance monitoring
The BRC provides near-end network and far-end performance
information, which is displayed in the Access Manager 2000 (AM2000).
BRC functionality includes test signals and loopbacks. The BRC
deciphers the incoming T1.403 PRMs from the far-end, combines the
data with near-end network data, and broadcasts the report data across the
encryptor to the FBR located in the Red Zone.
The FBR supports AM2000 alarm monitoring and logging, daily
performance data retrieval, Red Zone daisy chaining, and FBR
configuration. The FBR also supports the ASCII Terminal Interface for
near-end performance displays (only).
