Products - DataBand Summary Page - DataBand "E1T1"

 

The DataBand "E1T1" is a low cost, simple to use, leased line converter for converting between T1 and E1 circuits.

Available in two versions; for a single conversion between T1 and E1 or for two separate conversions.

 

See the product details below and the links and PDFs in the panel on the right.

 
  The DataBand "MUX-4" can also convert between E1 and T1 leased lines and has extra configuration parameters and abilities.

Overview
DataBand “E1T1” provides conversion between E1 and T1 circuits. It is available with one conversion (one E1 to one T1 interface) or
two conversions.
Timeslots are automatically mapped.

DbManager is a high-quality intuitive GUI that connects to and
manages/monitors DataBand “E1T1”; several versions are available in addition to the free DbLite supplied and multiple units
can be monitored simultaneously if required.

All Patapsco products are designed and manufactured to the highest standards and all are independently approved by European
test houses.

Software-selectable clock source, using any interface or high-quality Internal Clock with auto-switchover to secondary/tertiary clocks on circuit loss. The internal clock accurate to +/- 1ppm.

There is an internal battery-backed real-time clock for Event Log timestamps and debugging purposes and up to 5000 Events are held
within the DataBand in NV RAM on a FIFO basis. Events can be reported automatically to the locally-attached DbManager or across the LAN.
 
DbManager can also access the logs and download them when required. DbManager writes all Events and Alarms to a flat .csv file
in real-time and this file can be manipulated by external tools to format and extract information.

Loops can be set in either direction.

Configuration is held in non-volatile FLASH memory (retained during power-off) and downloadable to/from the DbManager.
Configuration files can be saved to a file on a PC.
 
New versions of software can be remotely uploaded to DataBand via the DbManager. This is loaded to an off-line sector of FLASH and a confirmation checksum given. The operator can switch software banks or revert to the original software at any time. If the DataBand is unable to run from the new software, it will revert to the original.

The DataBand “E1T1” benefits from a wide range of approvals for connection to leased lines. All Patapsco equipment is RoHS
compliant.

Note: The DataBand MUX-4 has similar functionality to this platform but with extra configuration options with user-access to all timeslot routing.
