Network Interface Controller ANC-LCX

Source: Adax, Inc.
The Adax LCX is a network interface card in SBus format for the APC-SBX protocol controller
The Adax LCX is a network interface card in SBus format for the APC-SBX protocol controller and combined with this product provides the ideal cost effective solution for Intelligent Networks (IN), signaling and wireless infrastructure. Multiple LCX and SBX cards can be used in a single system.

The LCX is your direct connection to T1/E1 network access. Available in SBus form factor for Sun systems the LCX provides direct digital connections to a combination of T1 (1.544Mbps) or G.703/E1 (2.048 Mbps) trunk lines. Conforming to U.S. and international standards, the LCX provides carrier compatible drop and insert functions including fractional to full T1/E1 bandwidth services and is ideal for applications, such as web servers, firewalls, mission critical point of presence servers and telephony signaling networks.

The LCX provides one T1 or E1 interface and allows flexible allocation of bandwidth between ports/channels on the Adax APC card. The LCX provides a direct connection to the network and includes CSU/DSU, multiplexing and drop and insert functions. Multiple protocols for signaling, voice and data can be mixed over each T1 or E1 line. SS7, when combined with the Adax protocol controllers provides the ideal solution for integrated high availability access.

Direct Connect
Adax Protocol Controllers (APC) and Adax Protocol Software (APS) allow a direct connection from the server to the network without any external devices or routers. The LCX operates with the APC-SBX protocol controller for a complete SBus solution for Sun systems.

Features

  • Single trunk line may be either T1 or E1 circuit.
  • Multiple trunk lines may be accommodated with linked LCX's.
  • Two physical terminations per LCX for internal server data circuits.
  • Drop and insert of DSO (64 or 56 Kbps) channels within all trunk lines via linked LCX's.
  • Multi-casting of data circuits within all trunk lines. Bandwidth allocation of multiple 64 Kbps channels to create Fractional T1/E1 services.
  • Separate logical paths for transmit and receive circuits, thus enabling ring topologies.
  • Bandwidth and total protocol independence. Adax APC cards manage the Frame Relay/PPP, SS7, X.25 and other protocols. Third party internal WAN products may also use LCX ports.
  • Software controlled configuration and management with SNMP for TCP/IP systems.
  • AT&T 62411 and ANSI T1, 403 conformity for T1 trunk lines.
  • G.703/G.704 conformity for E1 trunk lines.
  • A timing reference (+100 PPM) for network independent operation and testing.
