INTEGRATED DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
Franklin's T-1 Wide Area Network Connectivity products incorporate state-of-the-art
software and hardware technologies to allow access to public or private T-1 and packet
switching networks, from a variety of branch office equipment. The FBN-25 is designed
to address the management, control and environmental issues of today's
communications needs in remote branch offices. It supports most digital
communications, including PBX, video conferencing, high-speed LAN interconnection,
image and remote database applications and traditional data multiplexing. All the varied
devices used in these applications can be attached to the wide-are backbone network
(WAN) through the FBN-25, and the communications can be managed by a central
Franklin Datacom Network Control Center.
T-1 Access Module (Model ICT-1)
The T-1 Module (ICT-1, ICE-1) takes up a single slot in a chassis and provides access
to the public telephone network or to point-to-point T-1 interface operating at 1.544 Mbps.
The ICT-1 module can accept up to 24 individual 64 Kbps channels. The interface on the
ICT-1 is either a Digital Cross Connect (DSX) or FCC required Channel Service Unit
(CSU). The Franklin FCC approved internal CSU allows direct connection to T-1
facilities without external equipment.
Up to 4 ICT-1 modules can be installed in a single platform to provide redundant and/or
alternate routing.
Clear Channel Multiplexer Card (Model ICC-4)
The Clear Channel interface provides a capability to multiplex up to four Nx64 Kbps data
ports into appropriate channels of the ICT-1 module. The Clear Channel card is capable
of interfacing with existing Franklin Datacom products providing single platform
integrated access to T-1 facilities.
Analog Voice Card (Model AVC-4)
Voice is digitized at data rates of 16, 32 or 64 Kbps and transmitted over 1, 2 or 4 DS0
channels of the ICT-1 module respectively. Voice compression can be selected to offer
either u-law or A-law coding for connection to North American network or the European
standard. The two-wire analog telephone loop uses loop start signaling. The ICV-4
provides four 2-wire analog telephone interfaces using industry standard RJ-11 modular
jacks in one slot on the PC platform.
Network Control Center (NCC)
The NCC maintains alarm, billing, statistics, I/O logging, and line performance data, and
provides real-time control of the network. It is structured to facilitate, receive and
transmit file management operations over multiple X.25 links, and can support
communication with other Network Management systems with minimal integration.
Multi-Protocol PAD (MPP)
The MPP has supported application protocols which include X.25, Frame Relay,
SNA/SDLC, Async, Bysinc, Burroughs Poll Select and UTS 20. These mature protocol
suites are field proven with over 20,000 nodes installed. Qualified networks include:
Accunet, Italpac, Datapac, Infonet, DDN and Bell Atlantic.
