DS1 CONV-Remoted Cabinets
The distance between the DS1 facilities and associated equip ment room
hardware and cabling is a maximum of approximately 200 c ircuit miles (322 km)
for analog voice and 500 c ircuit miles (805 km) for dig ital (no analog voice
stations).
NOTE:
These limits for DS1 remoting is the maximum distance b etween
any
2 port
networks in a Release 8r system with either direct or switched port network
connections with a TN1654 DS1 Converter Circuit p ack.
Digital public network tie trunk facilities provide the end -to-end connectivity
between the port networks. For either type of port network (PPN or EPN), a
TN1654 DS1 Converter circuit pack serves as the port network interface to
the DS1 facilities. As a PPN interface, a TN1654 DS1-CONV can reside in
either:
■A port carrier (in any port slot)
■A switch-node carrier (in port slot “1” or “ 21”)
As an EPN interface, a TN1654 DS1 CONV can reside in an expansion control
carrier (in any port slot).
DS1 Cabling within the Local Port Networks. Use the running list that
accompanies the up grade equipm ent to determine which cab le connects where.
The following paragraphs only provide concep tual information about wiring a
DS1 Converter interface either to an expansion inter face or to a switch node
interface, not step-b y-step procedures for wiring a specific Release 8r system.
NOTE:
It is important to label ever y cable installed.
A cable connec ts each DS1 CONV either to the appropriate TN570 expansion
interface (for a direct c onnection to another port network) or to th e appropriate
TN573B SN Interface (for a switched conn ection to another port network).
NOTE:
These cables usually connec t to TN570 expansion interfaces (already
installed) for direct c onnections between the new PPN and either 1 or 2
EPNs.
On the DS1 CONV side, a 4C retainer binds this shielded c able to the DS1 CONV
port connector. On the EI/SNI side, a 4B retainer binds the cable to the EI/SNI
port connector. The DS1 CONV-to-EI/SNI cable also provid es a piggy-bac k
connector enabling subsequent acc ess to the public network.
