Patton electronics ForeFront 2616RC User manual

Independent T1/E1 Port Mapping
Ports can be configured independently, sup-
porting T1 & E1 ports on the same card
Fault-Tolerant Processing
Each module independently sustains switching
with its own built-in processor for non-stop
operation
Port Fallback
A fallback port can be configured for any port
to ensure non-stop switching of data
The Patton Model 2616RC is a software-programmable, non-blocking digital cross connect with 16 channelized
T1/E1 ports and flexible any-to-any DS0 mapping.

atton’s Model 2616RC TDM-Digital Access
Concentrator (T-DAC) card provides afford-
able, high density access concentration
and cross connection of DS0 time slots for most
network applications. Patton combines 16 soft-
ware-programmable T1/E1 ports that have inte-
grated CSU/DSUs with a fully non-blocking, any-to-
any DS0 switching fabric for implementing power-
ful multi-module systems in Patton’s ForeFront
Access Platforms.
Each T1/E1 port of the Model 2616RC supports
user-selectable data rates from 64 to 2048 kbps.
With a built-in cross connect, each data channel or
channel group can be multiplexed onto any other
T1/E1 port—even ports on other T-DACS (such as
the Patton Model 3196 or 3096) in the same chas-
sis.
Support for HDB3 and AMI line coding on E1
(G.703/G.704) ports and AMI and B8ZS line coding
on T1 ports, makes the 2616RC one of the most
flexible cross connects available.
Every 2616RC T-DAC has its own processing capa-
bility, ensuring continuous operation and manage-
ability even in the presence of multiple network
outages. Support for primary and secondary sys-
tem clock sources guarantee continuous synchro-
nization with the other modules as well as the TDM
network. To add to fault tolerance and reliability,
fallback ports are configurable for any port to
ensure that if the attached circuit fails, channels
being carried on the failed circuit can be re-routed
to another port. An integrated SNMP/HTTP-based
management system allows for easy configuration
via any SNMP-enabled NMS or via a web browser.

Model 6676
Using the flexible 2616RC’s DS0 switching
matrix, Service Providers can easily consoli-
date, manage, and provision up to 96 T1/E1
links from a single 6476 (4U) chassis. Uplink
access costs are significantly reduced by
grooming and aggregating DS0 traffic from
many partially used T1/E1 lines into selected
outgoing T1/E1 or STM-1 links.
Here is how it works:
Each 2616RC comes with 16 T1/E1 ports;
you select which timeslots connect to
downstream or upstream lines.
Based on customer requirements, assign
nx64 kbps timeslots to downstream
T1/E1 links, i.e 256 kbps (4 DS0s), 512
kbps (8 DS0s), 1024 kbps (16 DS0s), etc.
Use the 2616RC GUI to map DS0s from
downstream to upstream lines.
For example:
•4 DS0s from port 1
•8 DS0s from port 2
•16 DS0s from port 3
•3 DS0s from port 4
•All mapped to upstream E1
port 5 (31 DS0s).
16 configurable WAN ports: T1 (AMI/B8ZS line coding) or
E1 (HDB3/AMI line coding), G.703, G.704, G.723
10/100BaseT (RJ-45 connector); auto-negotiating; half or
full duplex operation for management
