PMC370PQ T1/E1/J1 PMC WAN Telecommunications Adapter
PTI's PMC370PQ Intelligent T1/E1/J1 WAN Telecommunications Module for PMC compatible baseboards provides OEMs and integrators with two fully channelized T1/E1/J1 interfaces for telecom and datacom applications. (See Applications below)
This module 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.
The PMC370PQ has been designed as a fully programmable communications sub-system with an onboard RISC communications processor. Integrated CSU/DSUs further simplify system development and eliminate the need for costly external devices.
The PMC370PQ 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 PMC370PQ 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/E1/J1 spans.
The processing power and 16MB DRAM array allows the PMC370PQ 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/E1/J1 communication-related processing to the PMC370PQ, the host system can operate much more efficiently, freeing it to process other tasks. The result is the highest possible system performance.
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.
PTI's comprehensive suite of WAN communications protocols provides complete WAN connectivity solutions for Frame Relay, HDLC, LAPD, and X.25 protocols. Operating system support includes Solaris®, Windows NT®, and Linux®.
For the Solaris® environment, PTI's ChanneLinkTM Communications Software provides both a transparent link to all SunLink® protocols, as well as a documented set of driver primitives for developing T1, E1 or J1 related applications.
