Table 1 shows how the superloop connections can be configured and which
option Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface should be used to connect
Meridian 1 to the Remote IPE site. The superloop configuration you select
will depend on the traffic requirements at the remote site. If non-blocking is
required, three or four superloops for each fully equipped Remote IPE
module may be required. If call blocking is not an issue, a single superloop
may be used for this application.
Note: Up tofour superloop links are supported by apairof Fiber Remote
Multi-IPE Interface units; one unit at each end of the fiber-optic link.
From Table 1 you can conclude that:
—One segment per superloop. Requires transmission of four superloop
links over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link
to a single Remote IPE module. Note that each Remote IPE module is
divided into four segments. Call connections are not blocked.
— Two segments per superloop. Requires transmission of two superloop
links over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link
to each Remote IPE module. Minimal to no call blocking.
— Four segments per superloop. Requires transmission of one superloop
link over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link
to each Remote IPE module. Call blocking in high traffic conditions.
— Eight segments per superloop. Requires transmission of two superloop
links over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link
to two Remote IPE modules. Call blocking in high traffic conditions.
—One segment for one superloop and three segments for the second
superloop. Requires transmission of two superloops over the Fiber
Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link to a single Remote
IPE module. No call blocking for one segment, blocking for the rest.
—Two segments for one superloop and six segments for another two
superloops. Requires transmission of three superloops over the Fiber
Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link to two Remote IPE
modules. Minimal blocking for first four segments in one IPE module
and blocking for the last four segments in the second IPE module.
Note: Each segment example in Table 1 is configured over a pair of
Remote Multi-IPE Interface units as shown in Figure 1.
