1. GENERAL

This section provides information on the Cellworx Service Transport Node’s (STN) Graphical User interface (GUI) and alarm monitoring capabilities. Information in this document relates to the Release 3.1 design features of the Cellworx STN system. Future revisions of this document will cover added features and enhancements to the system and/or software.

The Cellworx STN system has been designed to accelerate the migration of networks to support broadband services. It is an Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) utilizing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technologies to support access and delivery of emerging and legacy services. Through the use of simple transport provisioning, the Cellworx STN enables broadband services on an ATM backbone to coexist within the TDM infrastructure. A single platform is used to both deploy new services to thousands of customers, and provide significant bandwidth savings in existing networks. At the same time, it provides the utility and survivability that service providers have come to expect from true Telecom-oriented SONET products.

The Cellworx STN shelf is shown in Figure 1-1. It is available in a 19-inch or a 23- inch rack mount shelf that has specific card slot assignments for the Ring Interface Cards (RICs), Network Management Interface Cards (NMICs), and Shelf Controller cards (SCs). The intent of specific slot locations is to maximize bus performance and the number of working and protect pairs. The Cellworx STN can be used as a collocated or remote Expansion node utilizing 622, 155 or T3 CRS cards as links to a ring node to provide subscriber fan out or remote access capabilities to a ring. Certain card slots are keyed to prevent the installation of wrong card types into those slots. The remainder of the slots can accept any Access Interface Card (AIC) provided the proper Electrical Interface Module (EIM) is installed at the rear of the shelf for that AIC service type.
