Northen Telecom DV1 Cabinets And Technican

View of cabinets showing detail of inserting a module. The DV-1 system used Motorola M680x0 processors, ran a Unix like Operating System, had hot pluggable modules and utilized an early LAN connecting to its peripherials and terminals. Such peripherials as multi-port RS-232 boxes with up to 10 ports, 9 Track Mag Tape drives, Sync. connections for IBM 3270 emulation. It also contained its own telephone switch that could handle analog telephones, loop start, ground start and E&M trunks and T-1 spans. The terminal for this system was an M4020 which had an embedded telephone set. These system were around during the late 80's. At the time the DV-1 came out they did not know how to sell it. Causing its early demise.
