6.2.1 Introduction
This document contains the information required to plan for provisioning a
Telica Plexus 9000. The information is for all personnel involved in site
planning and preparation for the Plexus 9000 provisioning.
The provisioning information must be provided to create the database
within the Plexus 9000. Provisioning procedures are provided in the
Installation and Operations Manual, Volume 2 and TL1 command details
are provided in the TL1 Commands Reference Guide .
6.2.2 Plexus 9000
The Plexus 9000 is a high-capacity, packet switching system that
terminates, switches, and aggregates line- or trunk-side facilities to
accommodate today's exploding mix of broadband and narrowband traffic
as well as allowing subscribers to connect to a public data network (PDN)
over dial-up lines. The Plexus 9000 normalizes a carrier's layer two
switching and transport requirements regardless of content or access
method. Its integrated signaling and call control feature supports various
protocols including SS7, ISDN, and ATM.
The Plexus 9000 is designed for installation and operation in a central
office environment and the shelf contains 21 module slots. Four slots are
used for active and protect common modules, the SP and SF, with up to 17
modules used for various IOMs, DS-1, and DS-3/STS-1. All of the
modules except the SF must be provisioned.
There are three chassis part numbers. The original chassis, part number
85-3000 uses Midplane I and supports DS-1 and triple DS-3 IOMs. Refer
to
Figure 6.2-1 for an illustration of a front view of a completely
integrated system.
