S ONEPLEX ® DS3 R EMOTE C ONTROL S YSTEM The Soneplex DS3 Remote Control System provides for centralized manage- ment of up to seven remotely located Soneplex Broadband Systems. By using an existing overhead channel in DS3 links, provisioning, monitoring, and alarm information can be easily attained without the need for a secondary communications network. This channel is used to transport TL1, TBOS, or menu messages from each remote Soneplex Broadband System to a network Operating System or a craft terminal. ADC's Soneplex system is the lowest total cost solution for carriers to grow their T1-based business services. Focused on providing flexible, end-to-end solutions, the Soneplex system saves carriers money on T1-based services over cop- per or fiber, using HDSL, ADSL, traditional T1 repeater or optical DS2 technology in a single platform. From opera- tions, maintenance, provisioning and high-speed back- bone connections to central office space and cabling, the Soneplex system is designed to take costs out of today's T1 delivery approach, adding profit to your bottom line. FEATURES • Provides visibility and control of seven remote Soneplex Broadband systems, supporting up to 196 T1 circuits • Uses embedded DS3 communications channel instead of usable com- munications bandwidth or an overlay network • TBOS and TL1 support allow proactive maintenance of Soneplex by embedded OSS's The Soneplex System from ADC. The T1/E1 Service Delivery Experts 21/98 409 Soneplex ® DS3 Remote Control System The Soneplex DS3 Remote Control System provides an embedded DS3 communication channel between a remote Soneplex Broadband System and a Communications Access Module in the central office. This channel is used for remote alarm reporting, perfor- mance monitoring, and provisioning of up to 28 DS1 circuits on a Soneplex Broadband System at the remote site. A single, centrally located DS3 Remote Control System can support up to seven remote broadband systems, and eliminates the costs of multiplexers, cross-connect panels, and overlay networks. At the central office, data from up to seven remote sites is transported over a TL1/TBOS network to the control center. This allows cost-effective, continuous monitoring and proactive response to circuit problems, often before they impact users. This is particu- larly important when DS1 service level has been guaranteed.

The chassis is 6" high and 23" wide (15.24 x 58.42 cm) and sup- ports up to 14 DS3 Communications Access Modules and one Alarm Processor Unit. The chassis features a removable hinged front cover for easy access to the modules and adjustable mounting brackets for 2" or 5" (5.08 or 12.7 cm) recess mounting. 41/98 409 Soneplex ® DS3 Remote Control System Communications Channel Access Module The DS3 Communications Access Module (CAM) provides remote access, performance monitoring, alarm and maintenance capability to one remote Soneplex Broad- band System. The CAM operates in either a protected or nonprotected configuration within the Communications Channel Access Chassis. The CAM communicates via the overhead of the DS3 signal to the Remote Communications Module (RCM) which is deployed in the Soneplex Broadband Chassis at a remote location. The front panel features LED indicators, control switches and a DB9 connector for circuit status and local craft interface support. Power Consumption: Operating Temperature: Dimensions (HxWxD): Weight: 7.5 watts 0°C to 50°C 4.4" x 14" x 9.2" (11.18 x 35.56 x 23.37 cm) .75 lbs (.34 kg) Specifications System Overview Alarm Processor Unit Specifications The Alarm Processor Unit (APU) provides basic alarm reporting and performance monitoring for the Soneplex Communications Channel Access Chassis. The APU module contains chassis alarm relays, alarm cut-off (ACO) and chassis power monitoring circuitry. The APU reports critical, major and minor alarms via front panel LED indicators. An alarm cut-off feature can be provisioned for audible alarms. The APU also supports up to eight housekeep- ing alarm inputs. Power Consumption: Operating Temperature: Dimensions (HxWxD): Weight: 7.5 watts maximum 40°C to 65°C 4.875" x .6875" x 9.75" (12.38 x 1.75 x 24.76 cm) .556 lbs (.252 kg) 51/98 409 Soneplex ® DS3 Remote Control System User Interfaces The Soneplex Broadband System provides integrated circuit monitoring and maintenance, either remotely or locally, through a variety of interfaces includ- ing craft, TBOS and TL1. The Soneplex DS3 Remote Control System accesses remotely located TBOS, TL1 and craft interface functions through a selected C- Bit DS3 overhead channel. This C-Bit channel is connected to the MPU in the remote Soneplex Broadband Chassis as a 28.2 Kbit HDLC serial data link. Interfaces • MPU Craft Interface: A menu driven control system that is part of the Soneplex Broadband Chassis MPU software - Accessed through the DB9 connector on the front of the Communications Access Module using a VT100 terminal or through a personal computer with a communication software program - User IDs and passwords provide system security • Telemetry Byte Oriented Serial (TBOS) Interface - Provides communication status, alarm, provisioning and maintenance information between E2A-Alarm Processing Remote (APR) equipment and remote Soneplex Broadband Systems - Meets the requirements of AT&T CB-149 Section B2 • Transaction Language (TL1) Interface - Provides communication status, alarm, provisioning and maintenance information between Operations Support System and one remote Soneplex Broadband Chassis • Local Craft Interface: A menu driven control system that is part of the Communications Access Module software - Accessed through the DB9 connector on the front of the Communications Access Module using a VT100 terminal or through a personal computer with a communications software program - Used to provision and monitor the Communications Access Module The Remote Communication Module (RCM) plugs into the Soneplex Broadband Chassis at the remote location.
