1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 Overview
The Loop-V 4100 Universal Multiservice Access Platform is a cross-connect device which connects E1
to the OC3/STM-1 network. When used with STM1 and DS3 linear networks the Loop-V 4100 could provide
full STM1 access, OC3 access, and OC3Add-drop. The OC3/STM-1 port could be connected to OC3/STM-1
networks or to Loop-V4200-28 with OC3/STM-1 port. The LOOP-V 4100 has full DS0 cross-connect built
inside. The A-µconversion is also supported. Three DS3 ports could be connected to DS3 networks or to a
Loop-V 4200-28 with a DS3 port. E3 could be connected to E3 networks or to a Loop-V 4200-28 with an E3
port. 21E1 could be connected to the E1 network. 28T1 could be connected to the T1 network.
Local control and diagnostics could be supported by using a VT100 terminal connected to the console port.
The LOOP-V 4100 also supports Ethernet, Telnet, and SNMP, so that it can be controlled and diagnosed
from remote locations.
Data from any port, or any time slot of that port, can be channeled to any port or any time slot of any other
port. Digitized voice will be appropriately converted between A-law and µ-law. Channel associated signaling
will be appropriately converted between E1 and T1 formats.
The main chassis, which is a 5U high, rack-mountable box, has one slot reserved for the main controller
boards, four slots reserved for OC3/STM-1, six slots reserved for DS3, E3, HD_E1 and HD_T1 ports, and
three slots used for circuit board protection
The main features of the LOOP-V 4100 are:
!Used with STM-1 and DS3 linear network
!Different plug-in types
a. DS3
b. E3
c. Circuit protection board for DS3, E3.
d. High density 21E1
e. High density 28T1
f. STM-1/OC3
!DS0 Digital cross-connect between plug-in ports
!A ∼µsignaling conversion
!Alarm relay
!Console port, Ethernet, and SNMP
!LED indicators for each port on the front and back sides of the shelf
!AC or DC redundant power module
!In-band management, out-band management
!Redundant TSI, power and control boards
!Up to 17 slots for different plug-ins
!Support for OC3/STM-1 1+1 line protection
!Support for DS3 1+1 line and circuit protection
!Support for E3 1+1 line and circuit protection
!Size- 17.25” (W) x 8.67” (H) x 9.84” (D) (438mm x 220 mm x 250 mm)
!Power consumption: ~70W nominal

1.2 Applications
1.2.1 OC3/STM1 Multi-Service Drop (DS3) with DS0 Digital Cross-Connect
In this application all optical ports have 1+1 protection. The V4100 could have up to three DS3 drops. Any
DS0 inside any DS3 or STM1 port could be cross-connected to any other DS0 inside any DS3 or STM1 port.
Figure 1- 1 OC3/STM1 Multi-Service Drop (DS3) with DS0 Digital Cross-Connect
1.2.2 OC3/STM1 Multi-Service Drop (E3) with DS0 Digital Cross-Connect
In this application all optical ports have 1+1 protection. The V4100 could have up to three E3 drops. Any
DS0 inside any E3 or STM1 port could be cross-connected to any other DS0 inside any E3 or STM1 port.

1.2.3 OC3/STM1 DS1 Drop with DS0 Digital Cross-Connect
All optical ports in this application have 1+1 protection. The V4100 could have up to three E1 drops instead
of DS3 drops. The application is intended to allow any 28 T1s or 21 E1s inside any DS0 port or STM1 port
to cross-connect with any other T1s or E1s inside any DS0 or STM1 port.
