System Description
Size
The SLC ConnectReach system combines the functionality of several network
devices into one space saving, compact chassis standing 1.75 inches high.
SLC-2000 Access System HDT Interface
Services provided by the SLC ConnectReach system interface the switched voice
and data networks through a SLC-2000 host digital terminal (HDT). Interfacing
through the SLC-2000 HDT provides the following advantages:
DCS-type capabilities: Using the time slot interchange (TSI) of the
3
SLC-2000 HDT, the HDT provides a DCS-type capability. You can map
DS0s configured for data to a frame relay network over an INA DS1. You
can map DS0s configured for switched telephony through a TR-303 or
TR-08 local digital switch (LDS) interface.
TR-303 LDS interface: The SLC-2000 HDT's TR-303 interface allows the
3
SLC ConnectReach system to interface with the LDS using a high line
concentration ratio, thus providing an efficient DS1 interface to the LDS.
This can produce significant cost savings for your network.
Very high line density: The SLC-2000 HDT can host up to 48 SLC
3
ConnectReach systems, thus efficiently handling up to 1,152 DS0s. By
grooming the DS0s from multiple SLC ConnectReach systems onto INA
DS1s and TR-303 VRTs, you make the most efficient use of the transport
DS1s.
TR-08 Interface: The HDT can also serve as a TR-08 interface for the SLC
3
ConnectReach system. This gives numerous SLC ConnectReach system
customers TR-08 interfaces to a switch.
