CPC388 Interface Card

Description: OpenSS7 Hardware Selection CPC388.


These cards are no longer supported. Use one of the C400P/E cards instead. These cards are long deprecated and no longer supported by any OpenSS7 driver.


The CPC 388 cards are 8-span E1/T1/J1 cards with dual-port Ethernet in a CompactPCI PICMG 2.16 card manufactured by Performance Technologies, Inc.

The figure below shows a picture of a CPC 388 card (without rear transition module).

The CPC 388 cards have a high level of signalling performance because they have an on-board PowerQUICC II processor running an embedded Linux operating system (NexusWare based on YellowDog). The embedded processor performs Layer 2 (HDLC) and even some Layer 3 functions and higher functions. These cards run as stand-alone hosts or can transfer to a host SBC over the PICMG 2.16 dual Ethernet bus or CompactPCI bus. OpenSS7 STREAMS drivers and modules, as well as complete applications can be run directly on the card.

The CPC 388 cards have an integral H.110 bus and TDM switch that communicate over the PICMG 2.16 TDM bus. This provides for non-blocking switching of up to 4096 TDM channels across the backplane. In E1 mode (and with an E1 RTM), these cards provide 248 channels of SS7, ISDN or voice. In T1 or J1 mode, these cards each provide 192 channels of SS7, ISDN or voice.

The CPC 388 cards accept the same softwarea s the PCI 384 cards (and dual T3 CPC 396 cards) providing a carrier-grade evolution path from the PCI 384.

Driver

  • Provides STREAMS Media Gateway (MG) Interface that controls onboard TDM switch and H.110 bus.
  • Provides Soft-HDLC for Q.703 and Q.703 Annex B operation.
  • Provides G.804/AF-PHY-00016 ATM/PDH E1 or T1 SAAL.

Features

Following are some features of the CPC388 card:

  • Octal E1/T1/J1 (requires apporpriate RTM).
  • Dual E1/T1/J1 monitoring ports.
  • Dual QuadFALC framers.
  • Mitel/Zarlink MT 20098 H.110 switch.
  • Dual FCC 10/100baseT Ethernet Ports (RTM RJ-45 or J5 connector).
  • Tundra PowerSpan CompactPCI interface.
  • 200MHz Motorola PowerQUICC II (MPC8260) processor.
  • 256 Mb SDRAM.
  • 128 Mb Flash.
  • Runs NexusWare embedded Linux operating system.
  • 2 serial ports.
  • Individual E1/T1/J1 status LEDs on front panel.
  • Blue ejector LED.
  • Hot swappable (per PICMG 2.16).
  • NEBS Compliant (lights on front, wires on back).
