GL Communications Inc., announced today the release of its enhanced T1 E1 Line Management System. Addressing the press conference, Mr. Matthew Yost, Product Engineer at GL, said, “T1 E1 lines in many cases carry vital traffic, so much so that - any downtime would severely affect a business. Even if redundant T1 E1 lines were available and switched into service, the faulty line must still be repaired in a timely manner or risk the failure of the redundant line. MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) is a critical parameter in the overall availability of T1 E1 lines and associated equipment. MTTR includes the time to detect that a failure has occurred, travel (if any) to the affected site, troubleshoot the problem, and restore the line back to active status”.

A remote management system that can achieve these tasks remotely from anywhere and at anytime would be ideal. An ideal system should be able to:

detect failures and send an email to the concerned engineer, and

-allow the engineer to simply log on securely to view the status of all lines, no matter where he/she is, and,

-permit the control necessary to take the faulty line out of service and intrusively test , and

-allow the engineer to restore the repaired line back to operational status

He further added, “GL’s T1 E1 Line Management System provides the capability of remote management NOW and is being used by many companies to manage their T1 E1 lines”. He added, “The major elements of this system are: GL’s T1 E1 J1 Switch ( a 19-inch 1U rack mounted device) designed to provide non-intrusive and intrusive access to T1 E1 J1 circuits, T1 E1 Line Monitoring, Test, and Control System that monitors T1 and E1 line health by non intrusively collecting line status information, e.g. loss of sync, bipolar violations, CRC errors, yellow and red alarms, line frequency, and many more status indicators, and GL’s netsurveyor system provides for an instant overall view of the health of all T1 E1 lines, with the ability to successively drill down to individual T1 E1 lines for specific status. Maintenance engineers can securely access the network view from literally anywhere that Internet access is available”.

He added, “Any authorized PC with an Internet browser can access the WEBServer to obtain status of T1 E1 lines, or perform diagnostics on them - all remotely”.
