PRM-892060 Premisys IMACS Platform Interface Card

The Zhone Technologies / Premisys IMACS - with over 50 optional service application modules, three flexible, scalable chassis options, and two firmware platforms - provides an almost limitless combination of services, applications and network interfaces.

The IMACS supports V.35, V.11/X.21, up to 8 HDSL, T1, E1, fractional T1, and fractional E1 interfaces. An integrated digital cross-connect is available to consolidate multiple voice, data, and T1/E1 services. Three chassis models, IMACS 600, 800, and 900, differ in their card capacity and card install options (front, or front and rear). All models support the same range of modular cards, power supplies, and system redundancy options. All IMACS systems can be fully managed either with local craft interface through a VT100, PC, or through the OnLine Element Management System using standard SNMP interfaces.

In addition, IMACS offers a powerful array of integrated network diagnostic and fault isolation capabilities. These include Bit Error Rate Testers, test tone and signaling state generation, digital and analog loopback support, and remote configuration and control. IMACS meets stringent standards criteria, such as NEBS and CE, which means the user can deploy the IMACS almost anywhere in the user's network.

The IMACS is designed to continuously meet the needs of a changing telecommunications landscape. With its advanced patented modular architecture, voice and data services can be deployed quickly and cost effectively. Applications include: POTS (FXS, FXO, E and M), ISDN (BRI and PRI), voice compression (ADPCM and ACELP), VPN access, Internet access, integrated routing capabilities, voice over Frame Relay, Digital Data Networks (DDN), analog private lines, and numerous others. And the IMACS is being used in both public and private, as well as traditional facilities-based and wireless networks.
