• Data Sheet / Product Brochure: VCL-MegaConnect, 64 Port E1 DACS / T1 DACS (PDF)

The VCL-MegaConnect, 64 E1 / T1 Digital Cross Connect Switch, occupies only a 6U high rack-space, and is a complete 19-inch standalone unit that provides connectivity for up to 64 E1 / T1 ports. The unit operates on a -48VDC input power-supply (AC input adapter is optional for AC mains operation).

The system is supplied with an easy to use Windows (95, 98, Me, XP) Graphical User Interface that provides the USER a complete control to prepare multiple configuration "maps" and store them as easy to read data files. It may also accessed using CLI (Command Line Interface) through a Serial (COM) Port of a PC using HyperTerminal text commands. Dry contact relay alarms are also available at rear of the system to connect the system to an external audio and visual alarm outputs.

The VCL-MegaConnect, 64 E1 / T1 Digital Cross Connect Switch also has a TCP - IP Access feature which allows the DACS to be connected on a TCP - IP network (10/100 Base Interface) for remote access for configuration and monitoring using Telnet.

Optional System Configurations:

• DS-0 Cross-Connect - 64 Port E1 / T1 / 10 BaseT Ethernet Cross-Connect provides a full (non-blocking) cross-connect capability at DS-0 (64Kbps time slot level) between all E1s, T1s and 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Ports.
• DS-0 Cross-Connect - 48 Port E1 / T1 / 10 BaseT Ethernet Cross-Connect with and E3 Interface provides the capability to convert / cross-connect upto 48 E1s, T1s and 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Ports to an E3 interface. Useful for transporting E1s, T1s and Ethernet links over an E3 channel
• DS-0 Cross-Connect - 32 Port E1 / T1 / 10 BaseT Ethernet Cross-Connect with a DS3 (T3) Interface provides the capability to convert / cross-connect upto 32 E1s, T1s and 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Ports to a DS3 interface. Useful for transporting E1s, T1s and Ethernet links over a DS3 (T3) channel.
