Application Overview
l
IPDS0 management provides a TCP/IP connection to an Compact T1
Controller via an unused DS0 on one of the DS1 ports in slot A. The DS0 is
connected to a Router on a Frame Relay circuit with a default Data Link
Connection Identifier (DLCI) number of 16. IP communication to the remote
Units is made via the Ethernet port of the Router card.
l
Remote Units are daisy-chained to the central site and are also configured to
communicate with a Network Management Station (NMS) using SNMP.
l
Central site Compact T1 and IP Router card are configured to communicate
with the same NMP.
Operation
l
Central Site Compact T1 - Incoming DS0s for cell services are delivered on the
first T1 in slot A. The channels are then cross-connected to the second T1 span
on the Controller, along with IPDS0 connections from the Router card.
l
Compact T1 at remote locations - Available DS0s are delivered on the first T1
in slot A, and the channels are either connected to the IPDS0 management
interface, the second T1 span of the Controller (for local cell services), or
passed on to the next Remote Unit on the first T1 span of the Quad T1 card in
slot 6. In the configuration for Site C, the 4 channels on the second T1 span in
slot A and 4 channels of the first and second T1 spans in slot 6 are connected
to cell sites.
