CPC376 T1/J1/E1 CompactPCI WAN Telecommunications Adapter
Performance Technologies' CPC376 Intelligent T1/J1/E1 WAN Telecommunications Adapter for CompactPCI® systems provides OEMs and integrators with a 6U two-port, T1/J1/E1 serial communications interface. This adapter is ideal for SS7, Frame Relay or any channelized connection to SS7 network elements, signaling and media gateway devices, wireless nodes, or remote access servers and multiplexers. (see Applications below)
The CPC376 has been designed as a fully programmable communications sub-system with an onboard RISC communications processor. Hot swap ability and high availability make the CPC376 an excellent choice for T1/J1/E1 telecom applications.
The CPC376 plays a significant role in making Performance Technologies a full-line supplier of innovative telecommunications and networking products that enable the convergence of wireline, wireless and next generation Internet Protocol networks.

The architecture of the CPC376 capitalizes on the leading edge capabilities of the MPC860MH, Motorola's PowerQUICC®-based datacomm processor. This device, specifically designed as a specialized communications controller, offers very high performance and full channelization of the T1/J1/E1 spans.
The processing power and 32MB DRAM array allows the CPC376 to execute Layer 2 communications activities directly onboard, handling most of the low-level communications activities that burden host workstations and servers. By relegating most or all T1/J1/E1 communication-related processing to the CPC376, the host system can operate much more efficiently, freeing it to process other tasks. The result is the highest possible system performance.
Critical to any fault tolerant/HA system is the ability to "hot swap" its board level components. The CPC376 fully complies with PICMG hot swap specifications to the HA level. 80mm rear transition modules for the CPC376 improve reliability by being fully passive (no active components).
With a well-defined API, the integrated protocol suite from Performance Technologies reduces time to market by eliminating unnecessary development time at the hardware/protocol level. The protocols for our standard WAN hardware products enable development engineers to proceed directly to integration and application development efforts.
Our comprehensive suite of WAN communications protocols provides complete WAN connectivity solutions for SS7, Channel7 MTP-2, Frame Relay, HDLC, LAPD and X.25 protocols. Operating system support includes Solaris, Windows NT, and Linux.
For the Solaris® environment, PTI's ChanneLink™ Communications Software provides both a transparent link to all SunLink® protocols, as well as a documented set of driver primitives for developing T1, J1 or E1 related applications.
