The SignalPath™ 201-Z is an advanced signaling protocol converter designed to facilitate interoperability between incompatible communication networks. With the SP201-Z, carriers can inexpensively provide seamless connections between networks with confl icting types of out-of-band signaling. Many types of out-of-band signaling protocols exist globally. Different coun-tries have different protocols simulta-neously in use within its networks. The SP201-Z breaks down the communica-tion barriers presented by these differ-ent protocols and enables the flow of information across any network The SP201-Z increases the carriers’ potential network reach in a cost-effective fashion by eliminating the need for expensive network EXTENSIVE PROTOCOL SUPPORT The following protocols are available, as well as a wide variety of custom variants: ANSI SS7/ITU C7 ANSI SS7/NI2 ISDN ANSI SS7/ETSI ISDN ITU C7/ETSI ISDN SUPERIOR MAINTENANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS Multiple maintenance features enable quick and cost-effective resolution of network problems. Trace functionality is available to aid in trouble- shooting configuration and network problems. Visual and dry contact alarms allow for remote and local monitoring. Remote management capabilities enable out-ofband console port access. OTHER PRODUCT FEATURES Standard connections (RJ48, BNC) Up to four E1 or T1 trunks (full duplex, eight ports) Up to 120 DS0s per chassis DPC routing ANI |
