the disk drive unit that provides mass storage for operating programs and data

I/O interfaces that provide an information exchange between the user and the system

CS 1000M and Meridian 1"core" processor cards support extensive networking and provide intensive use of software features and applications, including call centers of up to 1000 agents.

The core software architecture incorporates a real-time multitasking operating system, as well as code that delivers features and call processing. This architecture guarantees feature transparency to the user upgrading the core CPU. The core architecture also provides significant operation, administration, and maintenance enhancements for the people who work closely with the system software and hardware.

All core overlays reside in Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) after they are loaded from the hard disk during an initial software load (software is shipped on redundant hard disks). The Resident Overlays featured in core-based systems ensure subsecond speeds in accessing the overlays.

The capacity enhancement in the core architecture is provided by the core control complex. In Large Systems with cPCI Core/Network modules, the core control complex refers to the two Core/Network modules (Core/Network 0 and Core/Network 1). The Core and Core/Network modules are fully redundant, with Core 1 duplicating the contents of Core 0.

The backplane in the CS 1000M MGand Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIVCore modules is a compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) data bus. PCI provides a high-speed data path between the CPU and peripheral devices. PCI runs at 33MHz, supports 32- and 64-bit data paths and bus mastering.

The backplane in the system is divided into "core" and "network" sides. The "network" side allows up to eight network cards to be installed for call processing capability.

In the CS 1000M HGand Option 51C Core/Network module, the core side houses the following equipment:

one Call Processor (CP) card

one Input/Output Disk Unit with CD-ROM (IODU/C)

one Core-to-Network Interface (CNI or CNI-3) card
