Description

Valiant offers a wide range of E1 and T1 Groomers for non-intrusive monitoring applications. The VCL-MegaConnect, E1 and T1, Hi-Z Monitoring Groomers may be used for non-intrusive monitoring of “live” E1 and T1 traffic links, non-intrusively, through a high impedance monitoring point on a patch panel or a DDF. The equipment also allows the user to groom the selected time-slots carrying the monitored data to selected E1 or T1 normal impedance ports which can be connected to protocol analysers, probes, test equipment, billing servers etc.

In the above groomers, the E1 or T1 receivers connect to the E1 or T1 “Live Traffic” links which are to be monitored, non-intrusively (Hi-Z) in both transmit and receive directions. The additional normal impedance E1 or T1 ports shall connect the groomed time-slots to measurement-probes, protocol analysers, billing servers etc.The Groomers (E1 or T1 Monitoring Cross-Connects) are specially designed for non-intrusive monitoring applications and are capable of monitoring a very low signal of upto -20dBsx (0.3 Volt Pulse) E1 or T1 signal through a Hi-Z path from a patch-panel or a DDF, without in any way distrubing the “live” E1 (or T1) traffic that is required to be monitored. The E1 connector(s) shall be RJ45 (120 Ohms). The T1 connector(s) shall be RJ45 (100 Ohms). Also available with 30dBsx (0.1 Volt Pulse) and 40dBsx (0.03 Volt Pulse) signal sensitivity.The user is offered full flexibility to choose and select the time-slots which are required to be monitored in “both” Transmit and Receive direction, through the internal TSI non-blocking switch, from any of the E1/T1 ports that are required to be monitored and also groom the selected time-slots to the normal impedance E1 or T1 ports that shall connect to measurement-probes, protocol analysers, billing servers etc.Applications
