TruePulse is looking for ERA7 and ERA9 circuit boards for the Lucent WaveStar DACS IV.  You may also be familiar with the ERA7 and ERA9 under AT&T, Alcatel-Lucent or Nokia branding.

The ERA7, HECI code T3PQAG7, Comcode 108170820, SSC4 circuit pack, is a Secondary Storage Controller for the Lucent DACS IV.

The ERA9, HECI code T3PQAG4, Comcode 108037268, MTC4 circuit pack, is a Maintenance Interface for the Lucent DACS IV.

The WaveStar DACS IV, or DACS 4, is a large-capacity cross-connect system that provides flexible bandwidth management in a SONET environment. The system can be equipped with various transmission interfaces and supports cross connections at broadband and wideband rates. The system also supports grooming and restoration capabilities.

The DACS IV is no longer supported by Nokia.

In addition to the ERA7 and ERA9, TruePulse is interested in other DACS IV modules. We are also looking for modules to other Alcatel-Lucent systems, including the Galaxy Power System, AnyMedia Access System, the 5ESS voice switch and the WaveStar OLS 400G. In fact, please send us a list of any surplus Lucent central office equipment that you have available.
