Digital Crossconnect System (DSC) or Test Access Unit (TAU)
• Supports 2 DS3 FAD or Dual FAD interfaces to access up to
two DCS connections
• Simultaneous test capacity scalable in increments of 2 or 8
tests
• IP communication link for central office wide area networks
or X.25 communication link for legacy data communication
systems
• Remote software download capabilities, eliminating the need
for on-site visits
• Onboard FLASH Hard Disk memory (optional) and network
backup (no floppy or tape drives) for increased system
reliability
• Scalable serving as an administration shelf for up to 8
additional T3AS shelves in any combination: supports up to
48 DS3s, 1120 DS1s or 448 DS1 test from multiple DCSs/TAUs
• Operates under a variety of OSSs and supports a wide range of
DCS and test access devices
Keeping in step as telecommunication networks evolve, yet operating under strict
capital expense limits is a challenge to today’s service providers. Maintaining
quality services at the lowest cost adds to this challenge. Service providers must
attract new clients, sustain existing, and roll out new services by minimizing
service provisioning times and mean time to repair (MTTR). Key to this is
offering rapid and efficient service provisioning and troubleshooting. To succeed,
providers must balance all these factors to ensure the highest customer
satisfaction. JDSU’s CAS-2000 provides a solution to help providers meet these
challenges.
JDSU has extended the capabilities of its T3AS Test and Performance Monitoring
System to bring service providers a compact, low cost, high density entry level
solution for managing digital services through the next generation of edge
elements. CAS-2000 allows for a compact yet high density entry level DS1 test
configuration at the lowest possible price while still enabling full expansion into
any DS3/1/0 application. This combined with the capacity of expansion shelves,
the CAS-2000 offers the best of both worlds – minimal upfront investment for an
entry level configuration while enabling the user to expand without having to
reinvest in additional common equipment. The low cost and high density also
makes it the ideal solution for the emerging edge based DS1 remote test market as
well providing remote test coverage at multi-service provisioning platforms
("MSPP") and small DCS/ADMs for test access. CAS-2000 is the Comprehensive
Application System meeting today’s service provider challenges.
