bipolar

The predominant signaling method used for digital transmission

 

services, such as DDS and T1. The signal carrying the binary value

 

alternates between positive and negative. Zero and one values are

 

represented by the signal amplitude at either polarity, while no-value

 

"spaces" are at zero amplitude.

Bipolar Violation (BPV)

bit

Bit Error Rate Test (BERT)

bit robbing

bps

BPV

BRI

bridge

The presence of two consecutive "one" bits of the same polarity on the T carrier line.

Contraction of the words "binary" and "digit".

A test that reflects the ratio of errored bits to the total number transmitted. Usually shown in exponential form (10^-6) to indicate that one out of a certain number of bits are in error.

Telephony coined phrase to describe a transmission process. The technique in T1 multiplexing in which the least significant bit (bit 8) of each byte in selected frames is "robbed" from being used to carry message information, and instead is used to carry signaling information.

Bits per second

Bipolar Violation.

Basic Rate Interface (2b+d) in ISDN.

A bridge is any hardware device that connects two physically distinct network segments, usually at a lower network layer than would a router, however the two terms are often interchanged. A device that connects two local-area networks (LANs), or two segments of the same LAN. The two LANs being connected can be alike or dissimilar. Unlike routers, bridges are protocol independent. They simply forward packets without analyzing and re-routing messages. Consequently, they’re faster than routers, but also less versatile.

Axxius 800 specifications

The Carrier Access Axxius 800 is a versatile telecommunications platform designed to optimize and manage voice and data networks. Initially launched as a solution for service providers, the Axxius 800 has garnered attention for its array of features, extensive connectivity options, and overall flexibility. Leveraging both traditional and modern telecommunications technologies, this device stands out in an increasingly competitive market.

One of the main features of the Axxius 800 is its support for various voice and data protocols, including T1, E1, and DS3 interfaces. This multi-protocol compatibility allows service providers to integrate legacy systems with newer technologies, providing a seamless migration path for businesses looking to upgrade their communications infrastructure. The device supports voice over IP (VoIP) as well, making it an ideal solution for organizations transitioning to IP-based communication systems.

The Axxius 800 is equipped with multiple slots for modular interface cards, allowing operators to customize the system according to their specific needs. This modular approach not only enhances scalability but also ensures that the system can adapt to changing business requirements over time. Users can easily add or remove interfaces, ensuring that they only invest in the capabilities they require.

In terms of management and monitoring, the Axxius 800 features an intuitive web-based interface that simplifies the administration of voice and data resources. This centralized management capability enables easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, dramatically reducing operational inefficiencies. Additionally, it supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for integration with existing network management systems and enabling proactive monitoring of network health.

The Axxius 800 also excels in redundancy and reliability. With dual power supplies and hot-swappable components, the device ensures minimal downtime, which is crucial for businesses that rely on constant communication availability. Security features are another focal point, as the platform offers various encryption and authentication options to safeguard sensitive data.

In conclusion, the Carrier Access Axxius 800 is a robust telecommunications solution that combines flexibility, reliability, and advanced features. Its ability to accommodate numerous technologies, alongside an emphasis on easy management and reliability, makes it an excellent choice for service providers and enterprises looking to enhance their network infrastructure while safeguarding future investments.
