INTRODUCTION
1.1
General
This document is valid as of Dragon PTN Release 3.0DR.
The Dragon PTN product line has been designed for industrial MPLS-TP networks and con-
sists of node types XT-2210-A, XT-2209-A, XT-2206-A and XT-1104-A. The Dragon PTN Nodes
have a rugged industrial design and operate entirely fanless (no moving parts, except for the
9-L3A-L IFM (see Ref.[6] in Table 1)) and are compliant with the EMC standards listed in
Ref.[5] in Table 1. All nodes are modular and 19” Rack or DIN Rail mountable. The more
compact XT-1104-A and XT-2206-A node require an extra DIN Rail 19” rack mount kit for rack
installation, see also Table 2 and Ref.[2] in Table 1 for an overview of the possible mounting
kits.
All nodes are equipped with a Node Support module (=NSM), which hosts functions like I/O
contacts and inputs for external PoE (=Power Over Ethernet, only on NSM-A) power supplies.
A node requires at least an NSM, one power supply unit (=PSU) and one central switching
module (=CSM). Each node provides a number of slots for interface modules to communi-
cate with applications like Ethernet, SHDSL, E1/T1, C37.94 ...
Node XT-1104-A is ultra-compact and can host a single PSU and CSM and has 4 interface
slots. Node XT-2210-A can be equipped with dual PSUs and dual CSMs for redundancy pur-
poses and has 10 interface slots. Node XT-2206-A is similar to node XT-2210-A but offers 6
interface slots instead of 10. XT-2209-A is similar to XT-2210-A but is optimized for the 9-
L3A-L IFM, see Ref[6] in Table 1.
Nodes can be interconnected via copper cable or optical fiber.
An example of a Dragon PTN network can be found in the figure below. The network is man-
aged by a HiProvision PC (=Dragon PTN Management System), see also Ref. [1] in Table 1.
