PRISM 3021

Verilink’s PRISM 3021 is a single-port network terminating unit (NTU) with a drop-and-insert port that provides a flexible solution for E1 connectivity from your remote site to a central site. The PRISM 3021 is available as a standalone device or as part of an integrated solution for larger sites requiring scalable access to a broad range of network services. As an E1 transmission device, the PRISM 3021’s key advantages include comprehensive diagnostics and simple configuration—resulting in lower network operating costs. With the PRISM 3021, an array of diagnostic capabilities is available to assist in fault isolation. Loops include line, payload, digital and channelized—eliminating the guesswork in determining if a channel is active. Loops can be initiated from either the front panel or the command-line interface. In addition, tests include an integral BERT that supports six different test functions and eleven patterns—for remote diagnostics without additional test equipment or a field dispatch.

The PRISM 3021 offers multiple alarm states so you have maximum performance-monitoring capability. Alarm states such as bi-polar violation (BPV), cyclic redundancy check (CRC), loss of frame, loss of signal and alarm indication signal (AIS) have programmable thresholds that allow the network manager to select a tolerance level for each state. Alarms can also be reported via modem, via reports directed to a printer or from the Verilink 8100A Site Controller—providing you with flexible reporting tools.

Configuring the PRISM 3021 is simple, via DIP switches, a command-line interface, or SNMP/Telnet (when the 8100A Site Controller is utilized as the manager). The PRISM 3021 incorporates straightforward configuration so your network operates efficiently. Verilink’s PRISM 3021 provides a perfect solution for network operators who need to support expanding global communications services. The PRISM 3021 keeps pace with international network access requirements by delivering E1 connectivity with circuit management and rich diagnostics.
