Product Features
Technical Overview
This expansion module integrates a T1/E1 WAN interface, operating at line rates of 1.544 Mbps for T1 or 2.048 Mbps for E1, depending on configuration. It is built to handle digital signal transmission over copper lines, supporting both voice and data traffic in converged network deployments.
The module is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation or replacement without powering down the entire SBC 2000 system, which minimizes downtime in critical networking scenarios. It includes necessary signaling and framing capabilities to interface with public switched telephone networks (PSTN) or private branch exchanges (PBX) that rely on T1/E1 circuits.
Key Product Advantages
The module enhances the SBC 2000's flexibility by adding a dedicated WAN interface, which is essential for scenarios requiring direct T1/E1 connectivity. Its compact form factor conserves rack space and integrates cleanly into existing network architectures.
Platform-Specific Integration
Designed exclusively for the Sonus SBC 2000, this module ensures full hardware and software compatibility, eliminating configuration conflicts and simplifying deployment.
- Direct chassis installation
- No external adapters needed
- Seamless management integration
Legacy Interface Support
Provides a reliable T1/E1 WAN port, enabling connectivity to older network infrastructures while maintaining performance and stability in modern SBC deployments.
- Supports T1 (1.544 Mbps) and E1 (2.048 Mbps) rates
- Digital carrier system compatibility
- Converged voice and data handling
Deployment / Use Cases
This expansion module is ideal for enterprises and service providers using Sonus SBC 2000 platforms that need to interface with T1/E1-based network segments. It enables the SBC to act as a gateway between IP networks and traditional telephony circuits, supporting voice over IP (VoIP) trunking, SIP trunking, or data backhaul applications.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting the SBC 2000 to a PSTN via T1/E1 lines for inbound/outbound call handling, integrating with legacy PBX systems for hybrid voice deployments, or providing WAN access for data networking in environments where fiber or Ethernet is not available. It is also used in network consolidation projects where T1/E1 circuits must be maintained while transitioning to IP-based infrastructures.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the Sonus SBC-2K-CRD-T1E1 expansion module?
The Sonus SBC-2K-CRD-T1E1 expansion module adds a single T1/E1 WAN port to the Sonus SBC 2000 Session Border Controller. It enables the SBC 2000 to interface directly with T1 or E1 digital carrier systems, supporting data networking and voice traffic integration between IP networks and legacy telephony infrastructures.
What network technologies does the T1/E1 port support?
The T1/E1 port on this module supports standard T1 and E1 digital carrier technologies. T1 operates at 1.544 Mbps, commonly used in North America, while E1 operates at 2.048 Mbps, typical in Europe and other regions. It handles both voice and data traffic over copper lines, interfacing with PSTN or PBX systems.
Can this module be installed without shutting down the SBC 2000?
Yes, the Sonus SBC-2K-CRD-T1E1 expansion module is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation or removal without powering down the entire SBC 2000 system. This feature minimizes downtime and enables maintenance or upgrades during operational hours in critical networking environments.
What are typical use cases for this expansion module?
Typical use cases include connecting the Sonus SBC 2000 to PSTN lines via T1/E1 for VoIP trunking, integrating with legacy PBX systems in hybrid voice deployments, providing WAN access for data networking where fiber/Ethernet isn't available, and supporting network consolidation projects that maintain T1/E1 circuits during IP transitions.
