NPS-101
1:N Protection Switching Device

Automatic protection switching for E1/T1 and T3 streams

1:N protection switching for Gmux-2000 TDM pseudowire and voice compression modules Traffic protection capacity of up to 224 TDM streams (16 or 8 protected modules) Transparent hardware-only switching Control and monitoring via Gmux-2000

NPS-101 is a compact, high-density carrier-class 1:N protection switching device. It protects the traffic carried by a group of N modules installed in Gmux-2000 by automatically switching traffic from a failed to a backup module in the chassis.

The unit has a capacity of 16 protection switching modules and 2 backup modules, each capable of handling 14 E1/T1 or 1 T3 streams, resulting in a maximum traffic protection capacity of 224 streams.

NPS-101 1:N Protection Switching Device

The following Gmux-2000 modules can be protected: Voice compression modules with E1 or T1 ports, VCA-E1/12, VCA-E1/16 and VCA-T1/12, VCA-T1/16 Pseudowire emulation modules with external E1 or T1 ports, E1-PW/28/BAL, E1-PW/28/UNBAL and T1-PW/28 Pseudowire channelized T3 module, CT3-PW/1.

As a purely hardware switching device, NPS-101 does not detect or evaluate any criteria for protection switching. Gmux-2000 determines when switching is required, and sends appropriate control signals to NPS-101. MANAGEMENT Gmux-2000 communicates with a supervision terminal via double RS-232 port on NPS-101 (DCE and DTE). This allows controlling and monitoring the unit even when Gmux-2000 is managed by one of the other supported management alternatives (Telnet/SSH, SNMP).

WIDE RANGE POWER SUPPLIES NPS-101 uses a wide range power supply, which operates on both AC and DC. The power supply is located together with the NPS-101 common logic functions in a single module. Although a single control/PS module is required, two modules can be installed in the device for redundancy.

When operating opposite voice compression modules, NPS-101 protects either 12/16 external or two main E1/T1 links.
