T1 Interfaces

When planning your networking requirements, one of the options you should consider is multiplexing over Digital Services 1 (DS1) facilities. As the industry standard for interconnecting digital systems, DS1 is an economical alternative to analog trunking arrangements. Multiplexing up to 24 digitized voice/data communications paths onto a single T1 carrier or other high-speed digital facility (such as fibre or microwave) can reduce your network trunking and equipment costs.

Used to connect switches to the public network or to other switches in a private network, DS1 also delivers high-speed, end-to-end digital connectivity. Voice and data calls are completed at transmission speeds of up to 64 Kbps.

DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions offers several options in supporting the DS1 interface. The options include support for voice-grade DS1, alternate voice/data, and Digital Multiplexed Interface. The voice-grade DS1 interface is a T1 D4 channel- bank-compatible interface.
