1023 Category 3, Type I - Dedicated Alert Transport BSA

Category 3 - Dedicated Basic Serving Arrangement

A dedicated BSA provides an ESP with a dedicated point-to-point connection 
through the network.  This category of serving arrangements are available 
full-time so that individual calls are not set up and taken down.  This BSA 
is capable of supporting analog or digital signals at various transmission 
rates.  The transmission interface may be 2-wire or 4-wire, or derived from a 
variety of multiplexing alternatives (e.g., DS-1 or DS-3).  It is also capable 
of providing supervisory signaling in some configurations. 

Route diversity may be available with this serving arrangement.

Category 3, Type I - Dedicated Alert Transport BSA

The dedicated alert transport BSA using derived local channel technology would 
offer ESPs a 24 hour supervised monitoring capability using existing local loop
access lines.

This serving arrangement utilizes derived channels which comply with UL AA and 
NFPA requirements. 

The scanner continuously monitors the status of all clients.  The host processor
monitors all scanners and, in response to a change in status, will identify the
subscriber from which the alert condition originates and notify the 
appropriate ESP.
