GL Communications (News - Alert) Inc. a supplier of test, monitoring, and analysis equipment for TDM, Wireless, IP and VoIP networks, recently unveiled its T1 E1 J1 USB Controlled VoIP Switch.

The T1 E1 J1 VoIP Switch offers non-intrusive failsafe monitoring and intrusive test and diagnostic capability for up to 8 full duplex T1, E1 and J1 lines. It can be remotely controlled via a USB connection and can be configured and controlled from a local GUI or remotely using GL's Windows Client Server.

The unit also provides two RJ-48c connectors for a thru connection for equipment and line connections and Rj-48c monitor connector for monitoring both directions of a full duplex high-speed line.

“GUI and scripted control software is available for placing the switch in various modes for monitoring and diagnostic purposes,” said Vijay Kulkarni, CEO of the company.

Officials said that the switch can be controlled locally or remotely for testing access to telecommunication lines and provides a fail-safe configuration on the event that power is lost. With the help of the unit, monitoring and intrusive testing can be done on both the equipment and line directions of a given T1 E1 J1 line.

Since 1986, GL Communications has carved a niche in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry. Unlike conventional test equipment, GL's test platforms provide visualization, capture, storage and convenient features like portability, remotability and scripting.

In related news, GL Communications has announced the availability of its TDM Protocol Identifier Software, designed to identify various protocols carried on T1 or E1 lines. The software is also capable of detecting protocols such as ISDN, ATM, HDLC, MTP2, LAPD, SS7, PPP, GSM, GSM Abis, TRAU and Frame Relay.
