CT3 Trunk Card Overview

Table 3-1 CT3 Trunk Card LED Indicators (continued)

LED

Color

Description

 

 

 

RALM

Yellow

Remote alarm—Lights to indicate a T1 alarm condition was encountered

 

 

by software for a particular port; remains OFF when the operating

 

 

condition is normal.

 

 

 

NLOOP

Yellow

Network loop—Lights to indicate that at least one T1 is unavailable (status

 

 

indicator); remains OFF when the operating condition is normal.

 

 

 

T3EN

Green1

Enable—Lights to indicate a CT3 card line connection enabling normal

 

 

operation.

 

 

 

T3LOOP2

Yellow3

Loopback—Lights to indicate that a loopback condition exists on the CT3

 

 

line; software controlled.

 

 

 

LOS

Yellow3

Loss-of-signal—Lights to indicate that the CT3 framer is experiencing a

 

 

loss of signal (175 successive zeros).

 

 

 

AIS

Yellow3

Alarm indication signal—Lights to indicate the presence of AIS in the

 

 

received CT3 line. Lights to indicate that a T3 alarm condition exists;

 

 

remains OFF when the operating condition is normal.

 

 

 

FERF

Yellow3

Far-end receive failure—Lights to indicate a far-end receive failure on the

 

 

CT3 line.

 

 

 

OOF

Yellow3

Out-of-frame—Lights to indicate an out-of-frame condition on the CT3

 

 

line.

 

 

 

1.This LED must be lit for proper CT3 operation.

2.When in loopback mode, enables diagnostics to perform local CT3 testing without external support. The CT3 line is not affected by this condition, thus remaining disconnected and open.

3.This LED must remain off for proper CT3 operation.

Trunk Card Connectors

The CT3 front panel is designed with two types of cable connectors (see Figure 3-4). The BNC connectors are used to connect the cables carrying the T3 signals. The bantam jacks are used for local BERT circuit testing to the DS1 level.

AS5800 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking and telecommunications field, and its AS5800 series of routers exemplify this tradition. The AS5800, along with the AS5850, AS5350, AS5400, and AS5300, provides robust solutions for service providers and enterprise-level networking applications. Each of these models has distinct features and characteristics that cater to the evolving demands of internet traffic and data processing.

The Cisco AS5800 is designed for high-capacity routing and optimized for broadband services. It supports a wide range of services, including voice, data, and video applications, making it a versatile option for service providers looking to deliver integrated solutions. It is equipped with advanced quality of service (QoS) features that ensure bandwidth is allocated effectively, holding strong even under heavy traffic conditions.

In comparison, the AS5850 offers superior processing capabilities and is typically utilized in larger-scale implementations. This model supports high-density interfaces, allowing numerous connections without compromising performance. Its architecture includes enhanced MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support, enabling more efficient traffic management and better utilization of network resources.

The AS5350 is known for its scalability and energy efficiency, ideal for voice-over-IP (VoIP) and media gateway applications. It supports various telephony features, such as protocol interworking and transcoding, making it a preferred choice for organizations focusing on digital voice technologies. The AS5300, while slightly older, continues to be a valuable asset for less demanding networks, offering reliable performance with VoIP capabilities and basic data applications.

The AS5400 bridges the gap between high-performance routing and operational efficiency. It incorporates Cisco's proprietary technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and robust failover systems. This model is highly regarded for its security features, protecting network integrity and providing peace of mind for businesses relying on sensitive data transfer.

Overall, Cisco’s AS5800 series showcases a progressive evolution of routing capabilities with enhanced features tailored for resilience, scalability, and performance. These routers not only address the technical needs of modern networks but also strategically position organizations for future growth in an increasingly digital world. Each model, with its unique attributes, continues to support the varied demands of global communication infrastructures.
