Overview
Scope
This manual describes the QUAD DATA module, a component of
Verilink’s Access System 3000 (AS3000) product line.
• This chapter presents an overview with illustrations of front
and rear modules.
• Chapter 2, " Quick Set-Up " presents a sample configuration
procedure, as a guide to configuring the QUAD DATA module.
• Chapter 3, " Configuration " presents a detailed listing of all
configuration options.
• Chapter 4, " Diagnostics " details the Diagnostics Menu
functions.
Purpose and Use The QUAD DATA module is used to connect Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) or Data Communications Equipment (DCE) to a
wide area network. All, or a portion of, the bandwidth of a network
port on another AS3000 module can be mapped to any of the data
ports on the QUAD DATA module. The Circuit Manager function of
the SCM 3000 is required to map bandwidth from the QUAD DATA
module, across the midplane of the shelf, to some other module.
Product
Description
The QUAD DATA module supports four high-speed synchronous
serial interfaces. Using the SCM node controller module,
connections are mapped from the ports of the QUAD DATA module,
across the shelf midplane, to other modules with network
interfaces, such as an M1-3 T3 multiplexer, or a QUAD T1 four-port
T1 CSU.
Four Interface
Types
Each port of the QUAD DATA module can be configured to support
any of four synchronous serial interface protocols: V.35, X.21, RS-
449, or EIA 530. Each port can use a different interface protocol.
Map to Multiple
Modules
Each port can be mapped to a different destination module,
supporting different types of network interfaces (T1/T3). The data
rate for each port can be as high as 1.536 Mbit/s. The total
bandwidth for the module can be as high as 6.144 Mbit/s.
