SP201-Z™ Signaling Gateway

The SignalPath™ 201-Z (SP201-Z) is an advanced signaling protocol converter designed to facilitate interoperability between incompatible communication networks. With the SP201-Z, carriers can inexpensively provide seamless connections between networks with confl icting types of out-of-band signaling.

Many types of out-of-band signaling protocols exist globally. Different countries have different protocols simultaneously in use within its networks. The SP201-Z breaks down the communication barriers presented by these different protocols and enables the flow of information across any network

The SP201-Z increases the carriers’ potential network reach in a cost-effective fashion by eliminating the need for expensive network upgrades.

EXTENSIVE PROTOCOL SUPPORT
The following protocols are available, as well as a wide variety of custom variants:
• ANSI SS7/ITU C7
• ANSI SS7/NI2 ISDN
• ANSI SS7/ETSI ISDN
• ITU C7/ETSI ISDN

SUPERIOR MAINTENANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS
• Multiple maintenance features enable quick and cost-effective resolution of network problems.
• Trace functionality is available to aid in trouble- shooting configuration and network problems.
• Visual and dry contact alarms allow for remote and local monitoring.
• Remote management capabilities enable out-ofband console port access.

COMPACT CHASSIS DESIGN
• The SP201-Z features a compact 1U height designed for budgeted space, with a capacity of up to four E1 or T1 interfaces for carrier locations with low-end requirements.
• Chassis-based, the SP201-Z is designed specifi cally for today’s high standards in the communications environment.

OTHER PRODUCT FEATURES
• Standard connections (RJ48, BNC)
• Up to four E1 or T1 trunks (full duplex, eight ports)
• Up to 120 DS0s per chassis
• DPC routing
• ANI substitution
