Figure 29-4 CPSS grooming application

In Figure 29-4, the 2902 MainStreet node performs CPSS grooming. It mediates

between a single CPSS channel on one primary rate link and many CPSS channels

on the other. The 2902 MainStreet system monitors the incoming CPSS channels

from both links and makes a dynamic cross-connection as required.

For example, if a CPSS message addressed to node #3 comes in on the E1 link shown

on the left of the 2902 MainStreet node, the 2902 MainStreet node connects the

single CPSS channel to the DS0 for node #3 for the message to pass.

On the right-hand side of the 2902 MainStreet node, each CPSS channel is routed

separately and transparently through the third party network, from the

2902 MainStreet node doing CPSS grooming to the other proprietary equipment.

Note —

Timeslot 0 and all 30 DS0s can be configured as CPSS

channels.
