1-2 Understanding the PCM30 line drawer
297-2101-504 Standard 02.01 December 1991
Application of the PCM30 line drawer
The PCM30 line drawer (PLD) is a unit that fits in a line concentrating
module (LCM) at a host site or in a PCM30 remote line concentrating
module (PRLCM) at a remote site. The PLD interfaces with customer
terminating equipment (CTE) at customer sites.
The PLD concentrates line trafffic by enabling a maximum of 60 digital
exchange lines to be carried over two PCM30 links (30 digital exchange
lines on each PCM30 link) that terminate on a host LCM or a PRLCM.
Provisioning exchange lines from a host LCM or a PRLCM rather than over
a PCM30 digital trunk controller (PDTC) increases the number of exchange
lines that can terminate on the DMS-100. The PDTC does not concentrate
line traffic.
The PLD enables operating companies to provide users with access to
services through an all-digital network.
Services provided by the PLD range from direct access lines to centrex and
automatic call distribution. The PLD can also provide termination for key
systems and private branch exchanges within the limits of the traffic
capacity of the host LCM or the PRLCM and the signaling types provided
by the PLD.
Example of a PCM30 line drawer application
The PLD supports the Mercury exchange line multiplexer (MUX) used by
Mercury Communications Ltd. (MCL).
Used in conjunction with the Mercury exchange line multiplexer, the PLD
enables Mercury Communications to provide telephone services to small
and medium sites, using both host and remote sites as satellites.
The application of the PLD in the MCL network consists of having fiber
links from the host switch connect to PRLCMs equipped with PLDs. The
PCM30 links from the PLDs then interface to Mercury exchange line
multiplexers that are located at strategic business centers throughout the city.
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 illustrate Mercury exchange line (MEL) connections
from a host LCM and a PRLCM.
