T1 CSU/DSU ASE with DSX-1, Drop-and-Insert, and Modem
The TruView™ and Visual Performance Manager™ CSU/DSU ASE is deployed on a T1 access line at the demarcation point between the provider network and customer premises. It supports full and fractional (FT1) T1 networks and provides connectivity through V.35 and additional digital cross-connect signal (DSX-1) interfaces to provide real-time and historical statistics to TruView and Visual Performance Manager. Supports IP Transport and OmniPoint software for deployment in networks that use IP switching.
The ASE's drop-and-insert feature provides a secondary DSX-1 port that can connect to a private branch exchange at a customer's site. T1 timeslots can be segmented for a PBX on the same circuit carrying data traffic. (See Figure.) The ASE's internal modem lets users establish a telephone connection to either the ASE's administrative interface or a pass-through connection via the serial port.
What are ASEs?
ASEs (Analysis Service Elements) are data collection and network performance monitoring hardware devices placed on a wide area network (WAN) or Local Area Network (LAN) as part of the TruView and Visual Performance Manager systems. ASEs offer in-depth, real-time, and historical visibility into the performance of an applications infrastructure. Data gathered by ASEs is stored in the VPM server and displayed and analyzed from the Web portal interface.
As a service level management tool, ASEs indicate when services are being met, provide warnings when services start to degrade, and send alerts when services are not met.
