· Single network element for

interconnection of STM-16,

STM-4 and STM-1 rings

· TransLAN™-functionality

based on ML-PPP at 8 x

10/100 BASE-T for each

circuit pack.

· The system architecture allows

a broad range of applications:

add/drop, terminal, local

cross-connect.

· Support of ETSI

Synchronization Status

Message (SSM) protocol.

· AU-3 / TU-3 to AU-4

conversion.

· Full Time Slot Assignment

(TSA) for port interface signals

and Time Slot Inter-change

(TSI) for through channels.

· Support of PDH signals: E1, E3

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

One of the main features of the WaveStar ADM 16/1 is

the ability to add/drop and flexibly cross-connect directly from the STM-16 level. Signals that can be connected are: 1.5 (DS-1), 2 (E1), 34 (E3), 45 (DS- 3), 51.8 (STM-0), 140 (E4),

155(STM-1/OC-3) and 622 (STM-4/OC-12) Mbps. Unique to the system is that it supports the advanced protection mechanisms MS-SPRing, VC-SNC/N and Dual Node Interconnection as well as the conventional MSP. To reduce overall installation and test time, pre-fabricated cabling is used.

Summary of main features and benefits:

·Protection mechanisms supported: MS-SPRing, SNC/N, MSP and DNI.

·VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12 cross- connect capability.

·Single product platform for STM-16 and STM-4 applications.

and E4.

· Support of SONET Signals:

DS-1, DS-3, OC-3 & OC-12.
