Introduction
OVERVIEW
The Quad E1/PRA Module is a member of the ATLAS family of Integrated
Access products and provides four channelized E1 or Primary Rate Access
(PRA) interfaces. Using the available converter assembly (P/N 1200209L1),
each interface impedance can be independently selected, and any port can serve
as the primary or backup timing source for the entire system.
The Quad E1/PRA Module combines with the ATLAS base unit and other
ATLAS modules to support requirements calling for multiple E1 and/or PRA
circuits. As many Quad E1/PRA Modules can be installed in a system as can be
physically accommodated in the ATLAS chassis.
Typical applications calling for ATLAS and the Quad E1/PRA Module include
the following:
• Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS). Any TS0 on any E1 circuit can
be switched to any other TS0 on any other E1 circuit.
• E1Bandwidth Management. E1 circuits carrying voice, data, video, and oth-
er traffic can have their payload groomed and directed to the appropriate in-
terface inside the ATLAS system.
• Digital Circuit Provisioning. When combined with the Octal BRI/U Module
(P/N 1200186L1), the Quad E1/PRA Module can combine data from multi-
ple dedicated-bandwidth U-interfaces into a single E1.
Figure 1-1 shows the E1 bandwidth management application.
