CPSS overview
CPSS is a proprietary communication protocol, a packet-switched system similar to
X.25. MainStreet products use CPSS messages to exchange information with each
other and with the 5620 NM over the network. In case of network failure, CPSS can
also be used to communicate with the network manager over modems connected to
serial ports.
CPSS messages carry:
•
status information, enabling nodes to construct routing tables
•
control information, allowing the network manager to send commands to nodes
•
timing information between nodes that have ANS enabled
•
alarm information, allowing the network manager to gather diagnostic
information
•
performance information, enabling the network manager to gather statistics
Products that are part of a proprietary network must dedicate at least one channel to
CPSS. The 2902 MainStreet unit supports a 16 kb/s shared CPSS resource.
CPSS messages can be carried by:
•
timeslot 0 on E1 links
•
a 64 kb/s channel (DS0) on all primary rate links
•
the serial ports (directly or through a modem)
14.2
CPSS channel connections
CPSS channel connections can be made using:
•
timeslot 0
•
a 64 kb/s channel
•
a serial port
Timeslot 0 is a 64 kb/s channel reserved for signaling on E1 links. If CPSS is carried
in timeslot 0, the CPSS channel occupies 16 kb/s of timeslot 0. CPSS is carried in
timeslot 0 by connecting CPSS to timeslot 0.
All or part of a 64 kb/s channel on a primary rate link can be designated as a CPSS
channel. The Codirectional DCM also supports CPSS connections to a 64 kb/s
channel.
A 5620 NM can communicate with the 2902 MainStreet system by a direct serial
port connection or an indirect connection (through a serial port using the PSTN and
modems). The computer running the network manager can be referred to as the NOC.
