Superloop

From PBX Wiki

(Redirected from Super loop)

Contents

Description

A Superloop is a collection of four (4) loops worth of timeslots, totaling 120 usable timeslots.

Implementation

Superloops may be split into two shelves, 0 and 1, in order to increase the number of terminals sharing the 120 timeslots.

Alternatively, a superloop may be configured to offer timeslots only to a segment of an IPE shelf in order to offer the whole 120 timeslots to a minimal number of terminals.

Required Hardware

Network Card (SNET)

The NT8D04 Superloop Network card resides in the Network shelf (Common Equipment)

Controller Card

The NT8D01 Superloop Controller Card resides in the Nt8D37 IPE Module

Modules

The NT8D37 IPE Module provides 16 IPE card slots

Software Configuration

Superloops are configured in LD 97.


Superloop Sub-Types

Phantom Superloops

Loop number in LD 97 is preceded with "N"

Virtual Superloops

Loop number in LD 97 is preceded with "V"

Fiber Superloops (SUPF)

Common Equipment

Fiber remote Superloops use the NT1P61 Fiber Superloop Network card in place of the NT8D04 Superloop Network Card.

IPE Controller

Fiber remote Superloops use the NT1P62 Fiber Peripheral Controller Card in place of the NT8D01 Controller Card.

Extra Equipment

Fiber remote Superloops also use a minimum of two NT1P63 Electro-Optical Interface Packlets to create a fiber 155.52MByte/sec link between the Network card and the Controller card. One NT1P63 will be installed on the NT1P61, and one will be installed on the NT1P62.

For a redundant fiber link, two NT1P63 packlets may be installed on both the NT1P61 and NT1P62.

Modules

There are two module types that may be used for peripheral equipment on a Fiber Remote Superloop:

  • Floor-Standing Column Fiber Remote IPE Module
    • 16 Card Slots
    • NT8D37 layout
  • Wall-Mounted Fiber Remote IPE Module (NT1P70)
    • 10 Card Slots
    • NTAK11 layout
    • Can also use the NTAK12 expansion module (see Option 11C)

Fiber Remote Multi IPE Interface

Another configuration of Fiber Remote IPE is the Multi IPE Interface. This implementation provides up to 4 superloops per module. (See Also: Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface Document Number: 553-3021-356)

The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface unit is housed in a metal enclosure measuring 10.5 in. high x 2.75 in. wide x 12 in. deep (26.67 cm. x 6.99 cm x 30.48 cm.).

Carrier Remote Superloops (SUPC)

A Carrier Remote Superloop uses T1 or E1 connectivity between the Network Module and the IPE Shelf. The Local Carrier Interface Card (NT7R51) resides in the Superloop slot of the Network Module. The Remote Carrier Interface Card (NT7R52) resides in the Controller slot of the remote IPE Module.

The Carrier Remote IPE package (REM_IPE, package 286) must be installed in the system to enable its use.

Timeslots

Up to 3 T1/E1 carriers may be used to connect to a Carrier Remote IPE module. A maximum of 63 timeslots are used for a T1 link with 3 carriers. A max of 81 timeslots are used for an E1 link with 3 carriers.

The first 3 timeslots on each carrier are used for signaling between the Local and Remote interfaces.

24 channels/T1 * 3 Carriers = 72 Timeslots
72 Timeslots - (3 reserved timeslots * 3 carriers) = 63 timeslots

IPE Modules

There are two types of IPE Modules that may be used for Carrier Remote IPE:

  • Floor-Standing IPE Module
    • NT8D37
  • Wall-Mounted IPE Module
    • NT1P70/NT1P60 (Main Cabinet)
    • NTBK70 (Expansion Cabinet)
