Nortel Networks NN43021-110 manual Intelligent Peripheral Equipment cards Number Terminations

44System architecture

IPE is associated with network loops. IPE cards are supported by NT8D04 Superloop Network Card loops. The traffic requirements of all IPE cards provisioned on a particular network loop must match the traffic capacity of that loop.

IPE includes:

•controller cards that provide timing and control sequences and monitoring capabilities

•analog and digital line and trunk cards that provide interfaces to equipment outside the modules (such as telephones, data terminals, and trunks)

Table 5 "Intelligent Peripheral Equipment cards" (page 44) lists the IPE cards and the number of terminations each supports.

Intelligent Peripheral Equipment cards

	Number of
Intelligent Peripheral Equipment cards	terminations
Controller cards:
NT8D01 Controller Card-4	N/A
NT8D01 Controller Card-2	N/A
Line cards:
NT1R20 OPS Analog Line card	8
NT5K02 Analog Line card	16
NT5K96 Analog Line card	16
NT8D02 Digital Line card	16 to 32
NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line card	16
Trunk cards:
NT5K07 Universal Trunk card	8
NT5K17 Direct Dial Inward Trunk card	8
NT5K18 Extended CO Trunk card	8
NT5K19 E&M/2280 Hz Trunk card	4
NT5K36 Direct Inward/Direct Outward Dial card	4
NT5K70 Extended CO Trunk card	8

Note: Terminal number (TN) density per segment is 16 to 128 TNs, with 64 to 512 TNs per IPE module. The maximum TN density assumes all slots are equipped with NT8D02 Digital Line cards with 16 voice and 16 data TNs provisioned. A typical mix of line and trunk cards yields a nominal density of 64 TNs per segment, 256 TNs per IPE module.
