Depending on the application, you can

employ

multiple

shelves

and

subsystems in a variety of config-

urations.

When used with T1

administration

links

deployed

between the base T3AS and the remote

shelves, the cost of one centralized

administration shelf can be amortized

over multiple shelves.

T1 admin-

istration links can, however, be

difficult to implement and expensive

to maintain.

Your

CAS-2000

Performance

Monitoring System is a comprehensive

platform for remotely testing and

monitoring

existing

and

next-

generation networks. It has been

designed to support a multitude of

applications at both digital cross-

connect

(DCS)

and

non-DCS

locations. The CAS-2000 can act as a

stand-alone

system

or

as

the

administration shelf, providing

the

central processing and commun-

ications interfaces to the test access

element and test operations system for

up to eight other shelves.

CAS-2000 COMPREHENSIVE APPLICATION SYSTEM

The CAS-2000 alleviates this issue. Its

much smaller size and lower cost make

it economically feasible to deploy as a

stand-alone

or

with

stand-alone

shelves, eliminating the need to

implement complicated and costly T1

administration links for remote testing

and monitoring. Therefore, you can

use these available T1 circuits to

support customer services for added

revenue.

The CAS-2000 compact size, high density and low cost makes it cost effective to deploy as a stand-alone

shelf for remote test access.
