Access Bank I

Access Bank I/TR-08

Operational Description

The Access Bank® I is an economical, compact, remote terminal for converting T1 digital access services to 12 or 24 individual analog telephone circuits. The design incorporates an integrated CSU, which allows customers to plug in a T1 line without having to connect other peripheral devices. Six different types of 12-channel and 4+8 channel telephone line interface circuit cards provide a wide variety of analog line services such as FXS, FXSDN, SPOTS, PLARD, BRFXS, FXO, DPO, DPT, E&M, and TO. The Access Bank I operates with high-speed modems and automatically adapts to different line conditions, providing a clear, echo-free transmission path.

Designed to minimize deployment times, the Access Bank I has all configuration information on the case, DIP switches for configuration settings, and self-test routines to ensure that all circuits are working before leaving the site. Installation times are often no more than 30 minutes. In-service maintenance capabilities include hot-swap line cards, line channel LEDs and fuseless protection of all interfaces. A remote management option, with WindowsÆ GUI software and a built-in modem are available.

The Access Bank I is installed for economical local or long distance T1 service delivery, modem pool connections to T1, branch office connections, and the rapid deployment of temporary telephone services. Systems integrators use Access Bank Is to convert T1 equipment to a variety of analog serviceÝconnections for applications such as frame relay and IP telephony, computer telephony integration (CTI), and voice port expansion of T1 digital switches. 

The Access Bank I/TR-08 option offers a direct digital T1 connection to Class 5 local switch interfaces, eliminating the need for analog conversion of line connections at carrier central offices. The Access Bank I/TR-08 T1 signaling can be provisioned as physically separate A, B, C, or D shelves. Unlike trunk-side T1 switch connections, TR-08 line-side connections provide full CLASS® features to customer phone lines via the Access Bank I/TR-08.
