The Telinc TL5160 T-3 Intelligent Smart Jack is used to monitor a T-3 line at a remote location. It is installed between the telco demarc and the customer equipment and continuously monitors both the network and customer interfaces. The Telinc Smart Jack can determine whether the problem is a network or customer failure and alert carriers to problems before the end-user is even aware of them.

The TL5160 displays Line Code Violations (LCV), Loss Of Signal (LOS), Loss Of Frame (LOF), Remote Alarm Indication (RAI/Yellow), and Alarm Indication Signal (AIS/BLUE) for both the network and customer interfaces. It also displays IDLE for the network interface. The TL5160 automatically detects whether the T-3 facilities are provisioned for M13 or C-BIT.

Call for Help
Keep Alive

When a problem is detected, the TL5160 can send SNMP traps and/or dial out a "Call for Help." An integral V.34 modem is available as an option. The TL5160 will automatically generate a user-selectable "Keep Alive" signal in the event of a failure on either the network or customer interface. Failure of the TL5160 will not affect the network. The T-3 signals continue to pass through transparently.

The TL5160 T-3 Intelligent Smart Jack may be rack mounted, wall mounted or used as a standalone. It occupies only 1.75" of vertical rack space.
