Introduction

DEFINITY’s universal hardware and flexible software allow systems to be reconfigured quickly in emergency situations. Port networks can be added and network routing can be changed in a matter of minutes.

Based on the needs of your organization, three redundancy configurations are available:

Standard Reliability

High Reliability

Critical Reliability

Standard Reliability

The built-in duplication of many of its parts makes the system inherently reliable. In addition to the dual bus, the system includes:

One control carrier

One tone-clock circuit pack per port network

Port networks interconnected by single fiber cables

High Reliability

High reliability systems include the following:

Two control carriers (located in the Processor Port Network cabinet), which contain duplicate processor and tone-clock circuit packs (one is active and the other is in standby)

One tone-clock circuit pack per Expansion Port Network

Duplicate connections between the Center Stage Switch and the Processor Port Network

Expansion port networks connected by single fiber cables

Duplicate switch node clock circuit packs (one is active and the other is in standby) in each switch node carrier

Figure 1-8shows a high reliability, directly connected system.
