Line cards
Description
Overview
The line-side T1 card is an intelligent peripheral equipment (IPE) line card
that provides a cost-effective all-digital connection between T1 compatible
terminal equipment (such as voice mail systems, voice response units, trading
turrets, etc.) and a Meridian 1 system. In this application the terminal
equipment can be assured access to 2500 type line functionality such as hook
flash, spre codes and ringback tones generated from the Meridian 1. In most
cases, the line-side T1 card will eliminate the need for channel bank type
equipment normally placed between the Meridian 1 and the terminal
equipment, providing a more robust and reliable end-to-end connection. The
line-side T1 card supports line supervision features such as loop and ground
start protocols. It may also be used in an off-premise arrangement whereby
2500 type sets are extended over T1 with the use of channel bank equipment.
The line-side T1 interface offers significant improvement over the previous
alternatives. For example, if a digital trunk connection were used, such as
with the DTI/PRI interface card, line-side functionality would not be
supported. Previously, the only way to achieve the line-side functionality was
to use analog ports and channel bank equipment. With the line-side T1
interface, a direct connection is provided between the Meridian 1 and the
peripheral equipment. No channel bank equipment is required, resulting in a
more robust and reliable connection.
The line-side T1 interface offers a number of benefits when used to connect
a Meridian 1 to third-party applications equipment. It is a more cost-effective
alternative for connection because it eliminates the need for expensive
channel bank equipment. In addition, the line-side T1 supports powerful T1
monitoring and diagnostic capability. Overall costs for customer applications
may also be reduced because the T1-compatible peripheral equipment is often
more attractively priced than the analog-port alternatives.
The line-side T1 card is compatible with all IPE based systems supported on
X11 Release 17 and later software. The card is also compatible with standard
public or private DSX-1 type carrier facilities. Using A/B robbed bit
signaling, it supports D4 or ESF channel framing formats as well as AMI or
B8ZS coding. Because it uses standard PCM in standard T1 timeslots,
existing T1 test equipment remains compatible for diagnostic and fault
isolation purposes.
