The SOPHO 2000 IPS is comprised of up to 8 Port Interface Modules (PIMs).
A PIM provides 13 card slots for common control, Line/Trunk (LT), and Application
Processor (AP) cards. It also houses an AC/DC Power Supply, DC/DC Power Supply (for
-48V), and batteries for protection from short-term (about 30 min.) power interruption.
Four champ connectors for Line/Trunk (LTC 0 to 3) are located at the lower front side of
the PIM. A PIM provides a maximum of 12 card slots for Line/Trunk (LT) and
Application Processor (AP) cards. At maximum configuration, the system is comprised of
8 PIMs.
There are two types of PIM depending on the system type as follows:
- PIMMJ is normally used in every PIM, but
- PIMMK is only used in PIM0 in a dual system instead of PIMMJ
