E1 Failover (E1 Automatic Protection) Switch

Get Data Sheet

Valiant's E1 Fail-Over (E1 Protection) Switch (12 E1 Ports - 4 Links) allows the user to connect a single E1 line from the telephone company to an "active", as well as to a "standby" E1 terminal, such as data server / router etc. at the customer premises.

How it works ? - In the event of the failure of the data server / router connected to the "A / active" port of the E1 Protection (Fail-Over) Switch, it shall automatically switch and connect the E1 line from the telephone company to the data server / router on the "B / standby" port. This ensures minimum downtime - which would have otherwise occurred due to equipment failure connected to the "A / active" port. This equipment may be used to enhance the reliability and the efficiency of the customer's data network.

E1 Protection Fail-Over Switch 12 E1 Ports 4 Links

Features & Highlights

  • Allows the user to connect an E1 line from the Telephone Company and to switch it automatically between an "active" and a "standby" E1 terminal at the customer premises. The user programmable switching criterion may be Loss Of E1 Signal, AIS and Loss Of E1 Frame.
  • Can accommodate upto four E1 lines - may be used switch between "active" and "standby" E1 terminals connected to upto four (or fewer) E1 lines.
  • Independent switching for each of the four E1 lines.
  • User programmable switching criterion - independent for each E1 line.
  • Built-in real-time clock / real-time logging maintains a history of all events.
  • Remotely accessible over a TCP-IP networks. Allows the user to access and carry out maintenance, or / and switch the E1 line(s) between the "active" and "standby" E1 terminals, remotely, if required.
  • Allows the users to install and maintain active/standby/duplicate customer premises data networks/data servers, without bearing the recurring $$ expense of leasing additional expensive E1 lines from the telephone company.
  • Automatically switches the E1 line from the Telephone Company between the "active" and "standby" E1 equipment at the customer premises, according to the customer-programmed criterion.
  • Improves equipment and data security.
  • Allows the user to co-locate the "backup / standby" equipment in a different room/building and prevent any data loss arising out of conditions of natural calamity such as fire, flooding etc.
  • Increases the reliability of the customer's data/IT networks without having to bear the recurring and additional cost of leasing additional E1 lines from the telephone company. The equipment may be used to create secondary/backup systems at the customer premises to provide virtually uninterrupted service..

Application Note

  • The E1 Fail-Over Switch should be used when the customer is using a E1 line to connect to and install "active" E1 equipment and "standby" E1 equipment (such as a ROUTER or a PBX) at the customers premises.
  • The E1 Failover Switch shall automatically switch the E1 line from the telephone company between the ACTIVE E1 data server / router and the STANDBY E1 data server / router. Should the ACTIVE E1 data server / router fail or be removed from service, the E1 line from the telephone company automatically switches to the STANDBY E1 data server / router without requiring any customer or user intervention.
  • 8/16 E1/T1 Links (24/48 E1/T1 Ports), 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching Equipment: This equipment is to be used when the customer wants to use two different E1/T1 links of the network to establish a 1+1 redundant path to ensure continued E1/T1 service bewteen two points even if one of the network E1/T1 link fails.

  • Example - The customer may want to use E1/T1 Optical Fiber and an E1/T1 Radio link and to provide an ACTIVE and a STANDBY link between a BSC and a BTS so that when the E1/T1 Optical Fiber (ACTIVE) link goes down the STANBY / REDUNDANT E1/T1 Radio link automatically gets connected to provide continued connectivity and service between the BSC and the BTS.
