 SignalPath™ 201-Z Product Overview

spacer

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 conflicting 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
ANSI SS7/ITU C7
ANSI SS7/NI2 ISDN
ANSI SS7/ETSI ISDN
ITU C7/ETSI ISDN
Custom protocol variants

SUPERIOR MAINTENANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS
Multiple maintenance features enable quick and cost-effective resolution of network problems.
Trace functionality is available to aid in troubleshooting configuration and network problems.
Visual and dry contact alarms allow for remote and local monitoring.
Remote management capabilities enable out-of-band 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 specifically for today’s high standards in the communications environment.
