Introduction
Overview
This chapter provides an introduction to the CPC324 24-Port T1/E1/J1 Edge Processor. It
includes a product definition, Figure 2-1, “CPC324 Front Panel,” on page 19, a list of product
features, Figure 2-2, “CPC324 Functional Block Diagram,” on page 21 and a description of
each functional block.
Unpacking, initial blade configuration and other setup information are provided in Chapter 3,
“Getting Started,” on page 57.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
•“Product Description,” on page 17
•“CPC324 Features,” on page 20
•“CPC324 Functional Blocks,” on page 21

Chapter 2: Introduction

•DXI
•ISUP
• LAN/WAN data transport
The main processor, an AMCC 440GX, runs at 800 MHz. The AMCC 440GX is an embedded
RISC processor with integrated modules that provide interfaces for:
• The local 33 MHz, 32-bit PCI bus
• Dual UARTs
• 10/100/1G data rate Ethernet RGMII
• An on-chip Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM controller
On-board memory consists of:
• 512 MB of 166 MHz DDR SDRAM with ECC
• 8 MB boot flash
• 128 MB of application flash
A 10/100/1G unmanaged Ethernet switch interfaces to the AMCC 440GX’s RGMII Ethernet
ports. The Ethernet switch provides seven ports of 10/100/1G Base-T routing and connectivity
to:
• The PICMG 2.16 CompactPCI packet switching backplane
• Two PTMC mezzanine slots
• RJ45 connectors on the front and rear panel faceplates
Three IDT 82P2288 T1/E1/J1 octal transceivers integrate eight universal T1/E1/J1 Line
Interface Units (LIU) and eight framers in a single monolithic device. Egress and ingress spans
to and from the network side are coupled into the transceiver’s receive and transmit ports and
pass through the built-in impedance terminations. In T1/J1 mode, the recovered data and clock
of each link can be configured in the following formats:
• Super Frame (SF)
• Extended Super Frame (ESF)
• T1 Digital Multiplexer (DM)
• Switch Line Carrier - 96 (SLC-96)
A Zarlink MT90866 digital timeslot switch provides switching capacities of:
• 4,096 x 2,432 channels between the H.110 backplane and the CPC324’s local streams
• 2,432 x 2,432 channels among local streams
• 2,048 x 2,048 channels among backplane streams
Minimal host supervision is required for the three Mindspeed CN8478 eight-port Multichannel
Synchronous Communications Controllers (MUSYCC) that manage linked lists of channel data
buffers in host memory by performing Direct Memory Access (DMA) on HDLC channels.
MUSYCC operates at Layer 2 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol reference
model. Each MUSYCC interfaces to 256 TS data streams from the Zarlinks local TDM side.
Processed data is transferred across the 32-bit local PCI bus to system memory.
Two sets of PTMC slot locations are provided for two single or one dual PTMC (PCI Telecom
Mezzanine Card) module. See Figure 2-1, “CPC324 Front Panel,” on page 19 for locations.
The PTMC interfaces are identical and support the following under PICMG 2.15 PTMC
configuration 2:
