DS3 Controller Card

Overview

Overview

The Dual port DS3 Controller card drives the Axxius 800 Access Integration Platform, delivering a cost-effective, compact solution enabling wireless service providers to optimize cell site access facilities, rescue up to 35% of stranded cell sit bandwidth and deliver additional revenue generating services at dramatically lower costs.

The DS3 Controller card features 2 DS3 ports with integrated 3/1/0 cross-connect matrix. This provides full, non-blocking connectivity between the DS3 Controller and any of the 8 Service card slots, enabling the Axxius to operate as both a service delivery platform at the cell site and as a small M13 multiplexer delivering T1/FT1 tributaries to remote cell site locations. The DS3 Controller connects to the control panel unit for physical termination of the on-board DS3 circuits, as well as access to the RS-232 and Ethernet management interfaces.

The DS3 Controller card manages all the other Axxius Service cards providing the physical, electrical and logical connections to deliver a complete wireless cell site solution.

The DS3 Controller card has several local and remote management options available. Front-panel LEDs quickly communicate alarm, system and DS3 line status. The card can be configured and managed locally through the RS-232 or Ethernet management connections on the Control Panel using a Command Line Interface (CLI).

A number of remote management options are available to reduce truck roll costs for most maintenance and troubleshooting activities. The in-band DS0 management channel on the Controller delivers 64 Kbps remote access to the Axxius without incurring additional facility costs. Alternatively, a separate Ethernet facility can be deployed to support out-of-bandSNMP network management and the Controller can also be accessed through the V.34 dial-in modem connection from the Order Wire POTS with Modem Service card. Remote configuration, monitoring, maintenance and troubleshooting tasks are further simplified from the central Network Operation Center (NOC) using the graphical interfaces of the NetworkValet.

NOTE: Removing an active Controller is not recommended, use the switch controller command to change the Active Controller to Standby and then remove the Controller card.
