The desire for density and high performance in next-generation telecom and IP telephony systems continues to grow at a rapid pace. The CPC396 Dual T3/H.110 TDM Circuit Switch meets these needs by providing telecom equipment manufacturers and integrators with full switching of two DS-3 communications interfaces (1344 DS-0s) on one single or two independent H.110 buses.

The CPC396 has been specifically designed to be the ideal adapter for IP telephony applications that require the manipulation of large numbers of voice and data circuits from the telecom network to the H.110 bus. The CPC396 helps designers of carrier-grade VoIP, VoATM, VoDSL media gateways, wireless infrastructure equipment, and other voice/data devices get to market quicker and more profitably.

The PICMG® 2.16-compliant CPC396 is an adaptable platform designed with an onboard MPC8260 PowerQUIC II™ RISC communications processor. Combined with the NexusWare®, Linux® OS and development environment and dual onboard Ethernet, the CPC396 operates as a fully programmable communications subsystem capable of intra-chassis communication using either the PCI bus or Ethernet.

Telecom Hardware Features

The architecture of the CPC396 capitalizes on the Motorola MPC8260 PowerQUICC II processor. The advanced feature set of the MPC8260 allows for superior handling of two fully channelized T3 spans (1344 DS-0s) as an entire stand-alone subsystem.

In addition, the CPC396 offers two fully channelized T1/E1 ports. These ports can be used for various applications, such as signaling or system management, over a WAN connection.

The CPC396 supports complete DS-0 to DS-3 multiplexing. It can switch 1344 DS-0 channels (2688 time slots) to a single H.110 bus (J4), or it can be used to switch the 672 time slots of each T3 link to a dedicated H.110 channel. In support of the ECTF H.110 specification, each T3 span can link to either standard J4 or proprietary J3 connectors.

The CPC396 complies fully to the latest PICMG 2.1 hot-swap specification and enables troublefree hot insertion and extraction of modules, which is a critical requirement in building a carriergrade system.

Other features of the CPC396 include 64 MB of DRAM, which allows the CPC396 to execute protocols and manage extreme DS-0 density directly onboard. It also provides a monitor port and a console port for upgrades and management.

NexusWare® Software Support

Running NexusWare® Core, Performance Technologies’ highly integrated, Linux® OS and development, integration, and management environment, the CPC396 is a complete stand-alone TDM switch that can be managed via the CompactPCI® bus, console port, or redundant out-ofband Ethernet ports via SNMP or TCP/IP-based API.
