The RIC-E1 offers conversion between E1 interfaces and standard data communications interfaces. The unit converts the ITU-T G.703 E1 2.048 Mbps interface to V.35, X.21, V.36, RS-530, Fast Ethernet, or Ethernet bridge.

Transparent connect to LANs and VLANs

When equipped with an Ethernet interface, RIC-E1 transparently connects remote LANs and VLANs over unframed E1 links utilizing the full E1 bandwidth. All of the above mentioned interfaces are easily interchangeable thanks to the modular design.

Operating full duplex at a rate of 2.048 Mbps, the RIC-E1 has a range of 300 meters (1,000 ft) from the G.703 equipment. It performs a diagnostic loop test in compliance with ITU V.54 standard (loop 3) local analog loop (LLB). The bridge loops are activated by the DTE interface or by a strap jumper on the PCB.

The RIC-E1 supports receive, external and internal clocking options from G.703 equipment.

The product is available as a standalone unit in lightweight enclosures, or as a card for the ASM-MN-214 rack. The ASM-MN-214 can hold up to 14 hot-swappable converter cards, allowing mixing and matching any combination of card types.
