Lucent Technologies CBX Multiservice Edge Switch manual Navis

Fault tolerant architecture maintains services through almost any failure

•Redundancy protection for key modules: N:1 protection for the CBX 3500™ Universal Input/Output Module and 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching (APS)/Multiplex Section Protection (MSP) on SONET/SDH interfaces help support non-service impacting upgrades and protect against card failures.

•Routing and signaling protection: Distributed routing and signaling control help avoid single points of failure. If a network or service disruption occurs, priority-based routing of hundreds of thousands of circuits per second quickly restores services.

•Reliable architecture: Fully redundant hardware, control, and power components protect against hardware failures and reduce network downtime. If a failure occurs, automatic failover, Stratum 3 holdover timing, and hot-swappable modules can restore services quickly without losing data.

MXOS™ software provides unparalleled reliability, service flexibility, and investment protection

An integral part of the high-performance CBX portfolio architecture, MXOS™ software leverages Lucent’s expertise in voice networking and the Virtual Network Navigator® (VNN®) routing platform to deliver voice- level reliability. The carrier-class MXOS™ operating system features network analysis tools and non-service impacting upgrades to quickly identify problems and help prevent service disruptions. At the same time, MXOS™ software provides the standards-based Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) support needed to preserve the VNN® operating environment while ensuring interoperability with other carrier networks.

Together, the hardware and software enable the CBX portfolio to deliver unmatched, field-proven carrier- class reliability to ensure SLAs and improve customer satisfaction.
