Enabling Automated Switching Between Redundant Communication Lines

PARAMUS, NJ; April 26, 2005 ---
Dataprobe, a leading manufacturer of innovative technology solutions for networking, systems, and site management, has released the new T-APS protection switch. The T-APS switch ensures access to critical voice or data communications by providing automatic switching to a redundant line in the event of service failure or degradation. The switch is specifically designed for end-user or customer-premise locations.
The T-APS switch provides automatic protection switching for users with T-1/E-1 lines by connecting one phone or data system to alternate links. The switch then automatically toggles to the redundant link when the quality of the line begins to fail. Through the local and remote configuration, users are able to manually select the quality level at which the line will activate the switch, based on their specific needs.
"The T-APS allows small and mid-sized sites to benefit from circuit protection," said David Weiss, CEO of Dataprobe. "Users with one or two T-1 lines can now afford to deploy redundant circuits with the same automatic features and manageability of larger sites. There is truly no other standalone, customer-premise oriented switch like T-APS on the market today."
The self-contained unit also features a terminal and SNMP management, plus status relay alarms to notify administrators in the event of line failures or service degradation. An LCD display, front panel buttons and LED indicators allow for complete local programming, status monitoring and manual control. The T-APS can be powered by A/C or 48VDC sources and is designed for data or fractional voice applications in standard RJ45 T-1 and E-1 (120 Ohm) connections.
The following are some features help elevate the manageability and value of the new T-APS protection switch for end-users:
- End-to-end or single-ended applications for 'last mile' protection
- Selectable alarm threshold and switching activation thresholds, enabling administrators to control the quality of service
- Configurable via front panel or RS-232 port, providing local and remote management capabilities
- Active and standby line status monitoring, ensuring redundant line availability
- T1/E1 circuitry relay alarm output, automatically notifying administrators when lines fail or fall below acceptable service levels
- Power-fail cutout circuit, ensuring communications connectivity in the event of power failure
The T-APS switch is available now for the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,275.
