Internal InformationDESCRIPTION

3.1.1 Power distribution

Table 2 shows the power supply structure within the ASM subrack.

The subrack is power supplied by -48V DC connected to the TAU-C2 boardfront. After filtering at the TAU-C2, the -48V is distributed in the backplane to allother board positions (Slot no 1-20).

At the TAU-C2, two voltages VB1 and VB2 are generated from the incoming-48V for distribution in the backplane to the AU boards to be used for subscriberline feeding.

+5V is distributed in the backplane from the TAU-C2 board to the AUS-C2board at slot position 1. This voltage is used to supply the AUS-C2 HW identityand board position reading logic.

For future use, if an I2C bus is introduced between AUS2 and AUS-C2, thebackplane is prepared for supplying the AUS-C2 board from the AUS2 boardwith +3,3V instead of the present +5V supply from the TAU-C2 board.

Internal InformationDESCRIPTION

For external synchronization, the OSI and ISI interfaces to the AUS2 are routedin the backplane to the AUS-C2 board to be accessible at the front of this board.

3.1.3 Ring-Generator (RG) and PRM

The Ring-Generator and the PRM generator are centralized at the TAU-C2board. These analogue signals, together with their synchronization signals, arerouted in the backplane to all AU board positions.

3.1.4 O&M Communication buses

3.1.4.1 General

There are one ACOM and one LCOM bus in the ASM backplane. The busesare available at all board positions but not used by all boards.

Via the TAU-C2 board, the buses are connected with cables to the othersubracks in a node. This makes it possible for one TAU2 to control andsupervise boards in other subracks within a node.

The buses are serial according to the RS-485 standard.

3.1.4.2 ACOM

The ACOM bus is the communication link between the TAU2 and the AUboards.

3.1.4.3 LCOM

The LCOM bus is the communication link between the TAU2 and the AUS-C2and the TAU-C2 boards.

3.1.5 Test access bus

This is the analogue test access connection. The buses connects themeasurement equipment on the TAU2 or external test equipment with the AUboards.

The test access bus consists of a Line Test Access (LTA) pair and a Circuit TestAccess (CTA) pair. The bus is routed in the backplane from the TAU-C2position and is available at all AU slot positions in the subrack.

Via the TAU-C2 board, the bus is connected with cables to the other subracksin the node. This makes it possible for one TAU2 to control and supervise alsoboards in other subracks.

Internal InformationDESCRIPTION

3.1.6 PULSI

A synchronous interface called PULSI is handling the test access bus relays atthe TAU-C2 board in an ASM subrack equipped with a TAU2 board. The TAU2is the PULSI interface master and controls relays at the TAU-C2 to makerequested test access bus connections.

3.1.7 Failure / Service Indications

The failure/service indication LEDs (MIA) placed on each plug in units areconnected in the backplane with a star structure from the TAU-C2. The controlof the LED function is done by the TAU2 which sends the LED information overthe LCOM bus to the TAU-C2 units in each subrack.

3.1.8 Ethernet and I2C interfaces

For future use, each board in the ASM subrack can be connected to an Ethernetnetwork. An Ethernet switch/hub is proposed to be placed at the AUS2. Eachboard position will be given access in the backplane to this Ethernet switch. TheEthernet can in future rationalization steps replace the internal communicationbetween boards that today is done over the ACOM and LCOM buses.

For future communication between AUS2 and AUS-C2, an I2C interface isprepared for in the ASM backplane to be used if the LCOM bus is removed fromthe system.

3.1.9 Addressing

3.1.9.1 Subrack ID (SUBID)

The 4 bit subrack address (SUBID) in a MACCG is set with a DIP switch in thebackplane. This information is available at all board positions in the backplane.

Note 1 - Some boards may only decode the three least significant bits of theSUBID thus limiting the number of subracks in a node to 8.

Note 2 - Backplane definitions:• Logical “0”: Signal pin connected to ground• Logical “1”: Signal pin not connected

Internal InformationDESCRIPTION

3.2.3 Fan

One fan unit can be power supplied with -48V from the ASM subrack by a cableconnected to the TAU-C2 board front. This interface also handles alarms fromthe fan unit.

3.2.4 External E1s

5 E1 (AUS2 port no. 23-27) for connection to the AXE host are available at theAUS-C2 board front to be connected to the DDF. Both 75 ohm unbalanced and120 ohm balanced interfaces are available according to ITU-T Rec. G.703.

If the subrack handles the STR-STC control link to the AXE host, this link iscarried in timeslot 16 within external E1 number 1 (AUS2 port 27).

Some of the five E1s can alternatively be used as ISDN/PRA or external V5accesses.

3.2.5 OSI/ISI (External synch)

An external (input and output) synch interface according to ITU-T Rec. G.703 isavailable at the AUS-C2 board front.

The ISI input is intended for incoming 2048 kHz external synchronization signalto be used as an alternative synchronization source for the node instead ofsynchronizing to one of the E1 from the AXE host.

The OSI output delivers a 2048 kHz synchronized clock signal to be used byother equipment at the site or equipment downstream in the network (e.g. PBX)that needs a clock signal locked to the AXE host clock.

3.2.6 Monitor

The MONITOR output located at the AUS-C2 board front can be used tomonitor one or more of the 5 external E1s at the AUS-C2 board for maintenancepurposes.

3.2.7 Node internal E1s and node synchronization

Interconnection of the AUSs between ASM subracks in the same node for theEMRP-ring, the mesh-network and synchronization (SYNC-ring) is performedby front cabling at the AUS2 board. 5 E1s (AUS2 port no. 0-4) and the SYNC-ring signals are included in this network.

3.2.8 Subscriber lines to MDF

From the MDF, the subscriber lines are connected with cables to the ASMsubrack at the AU boards with 30 lines to each board for the PSTN case. ForISDN/BA, 15 lines are connected to each AU board.

PRA or external V5 subscriber links, see 3.2.4.

3.2.10 O&M buses

Interconnection of the ACOM and LCOM buses and the test access busesbetween ASM subracks in the same node is performed by front cabling at theTAU-C2 board.

3.2.11 External test access

For connection of external test equipment (test head) for line and line circuitmeasurements, a connector is available at the TAU-C2 board front.

3.2.12 External alarms

8 external alarm inputs are available at the TAU-C2 board front for e.g. powerbattery failure, burglar and/or fire alarms.

The TAU-C2 board is also hardware prepared for future introduction of 4 alarmoutputs.

4.4 Traffic Capacity

4.4.1 PSTN and ISDN/BA

Depending on number of E1 connections to the AXE host, PSTN traffic can beoffered up to 0,25 E/line or for ISDN/BA up to 0,25 E/B-channel.

Other factors, like special AU boards with high power dissipation due to highline current feeding characteristics in combination with high ambienttemperature, can also limit the allowed traffic capacity.

4.4.2 PSTN and PRA

With lower requirement on PSTN traffic capacity, the ASM subrack can beconfigured to offer both PSTN and ISDN/PRA traffic.

4.5 Power Consumption

The values in Table 3 for the power dissipation of the specific boards areprovided as a guideline. For accurate dimensioning of the node power supply,please refer to the information in PRIM for the particular BFE product.
