2.4.1 XCVT Functionality
The STS-1 switch matrix on the XCVT card consists of 288 bidirectional ports and adds a VT matrix
that can manage up to 336 bidirectional VT1.5 ports or the equivalent of a bidirectional STS-12. The
VT1.5-level signals can be cross connected, dropped, or rearranged. The T CC2/TCC2P card assigns
bandwidth to each slot on a per STS-1 or per VT1.5 basis. The switch matrices are fully crosspoint and
broadcast supporting.
The XCVT card provides:
• 288 STS bidirectional ports
• 144 STS bidirectional cross-connects
• 672 VT1.5 ports via 24 logical STS ports
• 336 VT1.5 bidirectional cross-connects
• Nonblocking at the STS level
• STS-1/3c/6c/12c/48c cross-connects
