 SignalPath™ 230 Product Overview

spacer

The SignalPath™ 230 (SP230) is an advanced signaling protocol converter designed to facilitate interoperability between incompatible communication networks. The SP230 enables a seamless interface between in-band and out-of-band networks, and between out-of-band networks and other out-of-band networks.

Different types of telephony communication protocols, both in-band and out-of-band, circuit-switched or packet, exist globally. In fact, there could be as many as six or seven protocols in use within one network. The SP230 breaks down the communication barriers presented by these different protocols and enables the flow of information across any network.

Not only can you increase your potential to connect to a larger portion of the world market, but you can also eliminate charges you may be currently paying to one or more companies for network connections. This means more revenue in your corporate pocket.

 EXTENSIVE PROTOCOL SUPPORT
Digital and Analog PBX interfaces Multiple protocol support in a single platform means better inventory management and lower overall operating cost. Protocols supported are:
R1, R2, and DTMF
ANSI SS7 (ANSI), ITU-T C7, ETSI ISUP, Spanish ISUP, NOM112, C7 variants (e.g., Argentina, Chile, Peru, Spain).
NI2 and ETSI PRI-ISDN.
Custom variants of both in-band and out-of-band protocols are available.
Multiple protocol support in a single platform means better inventory management and lower overall operating cost.

 SUPERIOR MAINTENANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS
Multiple maintenance features enable quick and cost-effective resolution of network problems.
Trace functionality is available for troubleshooting configuration and network problems.
Visual and dry contact alarms allow for remote and local monitoring.

 SCALEABLE ARCHITECTURE
The SP230 has a modular design, with a capacity of up to 52 E1 or T1 interfaces, allowing users to scale the product to fit small or large applications while incurring a low upfront investment.
Chassis-based, the SP230 is designed specifically for today's high standards in the communications environment.

 REDUNDANCY
Redundant common module capability translates to less equipment down-time.
Redundant power supplies are input and output isolated.
