F eaturing extremely low latency of less than 5 msec., one way, the
TC3846-2 C37.94-over-IP Gateway extends two C37.94 circuits over
Applications
Typical applications include
Ethernet/IP networks. It is simple to configure and supports both point-
to-point and point-to-multipoint topologies. extending C37.94 circuits across IP
networks.
Extremely low latency (minimal end-to-end processing delay) is
achieved by using high-performance adaptive clock recovery, buffering For example, the TC3846-2 is used to
and forwarding technology. To insure reliable communications, the extend Teleprotection relays with a

signaling used. Clear channel and octet aligned modes are supported.
Key features include Traffic Monitoring and Statistics, Network Time
Server (NTP Server), Remote Firmware Upgrade and Temperature and
Power Consumption Monitoring.
Setup, diagnostics, and management are accessed via Web, SNMP,
Serial Console and Telnet. Diagnostics include LED indicators and local
and remote loopback to assist with troubleshooting and maintenance.
The TC3846-2 interface card can fit into any available JumboSwitch
housing option including 2S Standalone chassis and 1U/2U/4U card
cages. Power supply options are 12VDC, 24VDC, -48VDC or 115/230VAC.
Standard operating temperature is -20°C to +70°C and the extreme
temperature version is -40°C to +80°C.
