Promptus OASIS
500
ISDN PRI Inverse Multiplexer
Although it has other applications, the primary purpose of
the OASIS 500 is to manage a customer's fluctuating needs
for bandwidth. By complying with the ISO 13871 (BONDING)
inverse multiplexing (IMUX) industry standard, the OASIS 500
is able to combine as many 56K or 64K B-channels as are
needed to support the customer's bandwidth needs at any
given time. Videoconferencing, which normally requires 384
Kbps of bandwidth, is the primary application that takes
advantage of the IMUX standard, but it can also be used to
support connectivity for bridges, routers, frontend
processors, and other devices.
The IMUX technique makes it possible for the OASIS 500 to
provide bandwidth ranging from 56 Kbps to 1920 Kbps. The
difference from other forms of digital connectivity, such as
leased lines, is that this bandwidth is provided only when it
is needed, making it one of the most costeffective forms of
wide area connectivity available in the world.
Leased-line Back-up and
Overflow
The OASIS 500 also supports dedicated circuits and provides
secure connectivity to applications on the corporate network.
By monitoring the availability of leased lines, the OASIS 500
is capable of providing automated disaster recovery and
back-up services if and when the user's dedicated lines
fail. This is accomplished by rerouting the traffic over as
many B-channels as are needed to maintain the necessary data
throughput. User-defined thresholds allow customers to
control the network for back up and recovery and ensure data
integrity for the application. The OASIS 500 is also capable
of adding supplementary bandwidth when leasedline capacity is
exceeded. This makes it possible for network managers to
purchase dedicated capacity based on normal usage, rather
than on the need to occasionally support larger, temporary
bursts of data. This can result in significant cost
savings.
Built-in T1 Network
Interface
The Oasis 500 may be configured with an internal CSU that
allows direct connection to a T1 line, thereby eliminating
the need for expensive external equipment. The device also
supports ESF Facility Data Link (FDL) for real-time error
monitoring of the T1 facility.
Sophisticated Call
Management
As an added feature, up to 64 unique, predefined call
records can be maintained within the OASIS 500. These records
allow the operator to automate the many functions of the
device, including data rate, called party number, and service
type.

Features
The OASIS 500 lets users leverage the
power of ISDN PRI services worldwide. With its
bandwith-on-demand capabilities, the OASIS 500 is well suited
for applications that need occasional high bandwidth, such as
videoconferencing, LAN interconnect, and file transfer.
Implementing these applications with on-demand services
reduces overall transmission costs, since customers pay only
for the bandwidth they need, when they need it.
