System Architecture

No “Single Point of Failure” Redundant High-Speed Serial Links for Data (up

to 800 Mbps / Link) Redundant Ethernet for Control Local CPU and local storage of configuration on

each service card (standalone operation) Configuration via RS232 or TCP/IP

Redundancy Dual PSU (AC or DC) Redundant Control & Data Paths Dual Line Interface Card Redundant Control Card Dual Input on DVB-ASI Input Cards with automatic

protection switching Dual Output on DVB-ASI Output Cards Support of self healing rings and Add/Drop

functions

Service Availability Hot Swap Hot Plug Pre-configuration of Service Cards Permanent Storage of Configuration Changing service cards without interruption on other

cards Redundant feeds on service inputs or network

interfaces Controller card optional for remote management, not

needed to run services

Base Unit 3RU 19” rackmountable All cabling from one side (front or rear) Redundant PSUs (AC + AC, DC + DC or AC + DC)

with current sharing 2 Slots for controller cards (controller redundancy) 8 Slots for service cards (with redundancy on it) 2 slots for traffic aggregation cards (useable for

redundant network links) Hot swap & hot plug for all components (without

to switch of or reboot the entire system) No fans, passive cooling (2 RU slots needed for air

intake and output), optional fan device (with redundancy and alarms) available

Base Unit 1RU 19” rackmountable Redundant PSUs (AC + AC, DC + DC or AC + DC)

with current sharing 1 Slot for controller cards 3 Slots for service cards 1 Slot for traffic aggregation cards Hot swap & hot plug for all components (without

to switch of or reboot the entire system) Active redundant cooling

SYS-Card & SYS-IB Card

Central configuration and monitoring Not required for operation 10BaseT Ethernet port for remote access 5 alarm contact closures (user programmable) 4 macro inputs 10BaseT to each service- and aggregation slot

(remote management of service and network cards)

SNMP-Agent supporting SNMPv2c & SNMPv3 Supports firmware download from remote TFTP

servers SYS-IB additionally with In-band control via CLIP

NIM Card 10 * Highspeed serial links for data from/to service

and CPU slots 2 * Ethernet Links for Control Module slot for line interface module

STM-4 optical STM-1 optical E3/DS3

link

Quad DVB-ASI Input Card 4x ASI Input Configurable redundant DVB-ASI input Configurable integrated ASI A-B switch (2 input pairs) DVB-ASI monitoring output Byte- and Packet mode 188- and 204 Byte TS-Packet size MPEG Reed-Solomon error detection SPTS and MPTS TS rates from 1.5 to 160 Mbps AAL1 and AAL1-FEC support Full VPI/VCI range Traffic Shaping Redundant ATM output Local CPU Local storage of configuration parameters Hot-Swap and Hot-Plug

DVB ASI-Output Card 2 Highspeed serial links from MUX cards Full VPI/VCI range individual configurable for each

link Detection of ATM cell stream and Protection

Switching on ATM level (nearly lossless) AAL1 and AAL1 FEC support Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) 2 DVB-ASI outputs (same content)

Quad DVB-ASI Output Card 4 independent ASI output signals (without APS) Redundant ATM input possible for each TS Automatic Protection Switching (APS) configurable Full VPI/VCI range AAL1, AAL1 FEC support High performance adaptive clock recovery TS rates from 1.5 to 160 Mbps 188- and 204 Byte TS-Packet size Generation of MPEG Reed-Solomon DVB-ASI Byte- and Packet mode Local CPU Local storage of configuration parameters Hot-Swap and Hot-Plug

Quad E1/T1 CES

4 independent E1/T1 lines Interface 120 Ohm unbalanced on RJ45 Structured (n*64k) or unstructured (1.448 /

2Mbps) operation Reference clock:

Internal clock External clock (2Mbit) Network clock E1/T1 clock Adaptive

Ethernet Bridge

10/100BaseT Ethernet Bridge Up to 16 independent VCCs QoS configurable per VCC Support of VLAN-tagged frames Multicast aware STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)

ATM Tributary Card

2 Highspeed serial links from NIM cards 2048 VCCs (point-to-point or point-to-multipoint) On each VCC Policing & Shaping VPI/VCI remapping STM-4, STM-1, or E3/DS3 Line Interface 2Mbit network clock output, 2Mbit reference

clock input

Ring Control Card

Forwarding between NIM cards Individual configuration for both directions Drop, Pass & Loop of individual VCCs Statistics per VCC Useful to create ATM rings and to handle closed

loops and Add/Drop functions
