1.3Benefits

Minimal installation costs—remote configuration through a command line interface (CLI) or SNMP.

Flexibility—One RU design allows easy installation in tight spaces. Rack or wall mounting or desktop placement options are available.

Simplified maintenance—LEDs help monitor equipment status under both normal operation as well as test mode. Loopback access and test pattern availability further enhance maintenance and diagnostics, all simplified and configurable from a network management system.

1.4TR-08

The TR-TSY-000008 BellcoreTM standard (commonly referred to as TR-08) describes the generic requirements for interfacing between local digital switches and remote digital terminals via the SLCR 96 digital loop carrier system.

TR-08 has three operational modes. The Z-Plex supports Mode I:

Mode I is a non-concentrated, non-blocking configuration where each channel is assigned a dedicated DS0 time slot.

Mode II is a concentrated configuration (allows blocking) with 48 channels sharing

24 DS0 time slots. Time slots are assigned on a demand basis for the duration of the call.

Mode III is a non-concentrated mode used for coin and D4 single-circuit channel banks.

The RT channel numbering scheme supported by the product is described in Bellcore publication TR-TSY-0000008.
