Monitoring patch panel

The TelcoBridges Monitoring Patch Panel, used in conjunction with the Tmonitor TM1000 or TM2000 network probe, enables the monitoring of up to 32 E1/T1/J1 signals. Important note: Two monitoring patch panels are required to support 64 E1/T1/J1 interfaces.

The patch panel connects to the tapped E1/T1/J1 signals to be monitored. It can be equipped with high-impedance circuits to limit the current drain on the active E1/T1/J1 signal such that it can probe the electrical signal while minimizing disturbances on the actual signal itself.

The connected signals are routed to the TM1000 or TM2000 Network Probe which receives them to detect and capture SS7 messages, HDLC-like packets, record PCM voice, or the raw bit stream.
