Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is T4 (signal)?
-
T4 (signal) is a high-order trunk signal in the North American T-carrier hierarchy representing the DS4 rate used in legacy telecom backbones.
-
Is E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) a standard data transfer unit?
-
No, E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) is a vendor-specific label whose exact meaning is defined only by the originating documentation.
-
Why convert from T4 (signal) to E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)?
-
Conversion helps interpret legacy signal data into proprietary metrics used for diagnostics and performance monitoring within specialized equipment.
Key Terminology
-
T4 (signal)
-
A legacy PDH high-order trunk signal used in North American T-carrier systems with a rate near 274.176 Mbps.
-
E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
-
A vendor- or project-specific label representing a proprietary data transfer metric with no standard definition.
