The PathBuilder S330/S310 supports the following applications:
4 x T1/E1 IMA function on the trunk, up to four trunk groups (individual
n
T1s/E1s)
Single T1/E1 for PathBuilder S310
n
OC3/STM-1 UNI port interface (multi-mode or single-mode fiber), compliant
n
with ATM Forum's UNI 3.1, ANSI T1.105
Ethernet interface and bridge function, bridged RFC 1483 and Spanning Tree
n
Serial V.35/RS-449/RS-530/X.21 interface frame module, including DXI
n
protocol, basic frame relay protocol (DLCI to VP/VC conversion), and
transparent HDLC mode of operation
Structured and unstructured CBR T1-DSX/E1 and V.35/RS-449/RS-530/X.21
n
interface
Dynamic bandwidth allocation for structured voice CBR ports—stored signaling
n
bits are checked and bandwidth is released when an on-hook (idle) condition is
detected
RS-366-based video dial feature, supporting point-to-point and multi-point
n
video conferencing
Voice compression, supporting voice activity detection, fax relay, DTMF relay,
n
and G.729A, G.726, and G.711 compression algorithms.
DS3/E3 UNI interface
n
Local management via a VT100 terminal (or a PC emulating one) connected
n
directly to the PathBuilder S330/S310, or through a Telnet session.
Software downloading via TFTP, FTP, or direct via RS232
n
Built-in, menu-driven software for configuring modules, ports, virtual circuits,
n
and bridges; setting loopbacks; and collecting and displaying alarms.
The PathBuilder S330/S310 provides the following key benefits:
Complete integration into existing application environments by supporting
n
legacy data, video, and voice applications, thereby avoiding costly forklift
upgrades.
Video dial feature supports point-to-point and multi-point dialed video
n
conferencing over ATM networks, including:
RS-366 video dial
n
Static call routing for all destinations
n
Ideal for video equipment such as H320
n
Dynamic bandwidth allocation at both the V.35/RS-366 port and the
n
T1-DSX/E1 port on the CBR module
Video session dialed through SNMP interface via Telnet and RS232
n
Simulation of a switched ISDN network over an ATM network
n
Standards-based IMA implementation; the PathBuilder S330 offers T1/nxT1
n
and E1/nxE1 ATM access with up to four T1/E1 connections, allowing you to
scale up WAN bandwidth as your traffic increases. Each user-to-network
interface (UNI) can be used alone or bundled into a group, providing up to 6/8
Mbps aggregated WAN access speed.
