ne of the main features of
the WaveStar ADM 16/1 is
the ability to add/drop and
flexibly cross-connect directly
from the STM-16 level. Signals
that can be connected are: 1.5
(DS-1), 2 (E1), 34 (E3), 45 (DS-
3), 51.8 (STM-0), 140 (E4),
155 (STM-1/OC-3) and 622
(STM-4/OC-12) Mbps. Unique to
the system is that it supports the
advanced protection mechanisms
MS-SPRing, VC-SNC/N and Dual
Node Interconnection as well as
the conventional MSP. To reduce
overall installation and test time,
pre-fabricated cabling is used.
Summary of main features and
benefits:
· Protection mechanisms
supported: MS-SPRing,
SNC/N, MSP and DNI.
· VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12 cross-
connect capability.
· Single product platform for
STM-16 and STM-4
applications.
· Single network element for
interconnection of STM-16,
STM-4 and STM-1 rings
· TransLAN-functionality
based on ML-PPP at 8 x
10/100 BASE-T for each
circuit pack.
· The system architecture allows
a broad range of applications:
add/drop, terminal, local
cross-connect.
· Support of ETSI
Synchronization Status
Message (SSM) protocol.
· AU-3 / TU-3 to AU-4
conversion.
· Full Time Slot Assignment
(TSA) for port interface signals
and Time Slot Inter-change
(TSI) for through channels.
· Support of PDH signals: E1, E3
and E4.
· Support of SONET Signals:
DS-1, DS-3, OC-3 & OC-12.
