ATM Distributed BFS Plant Configurations
This section details two types of ATM transport configurations for setting up a plant
with one or more secondary BFS QAMs.
with one or more secondary BFS QAMs.
Note: The diagrams in this section include emulated MPEG devices. These devices
do not exist physically in the plant; however, you must configure this device on the
DNCS. The emulated MPEG allows the secondary BFS QAM to receive data through
the ASI transport.

Designing the Plant to Use a MUX Device
The numbers in the diagram refer to the following notes:
The plant includes a MUX device to convert the SWIF input to ASI. The MUX
device can send a separate signal to each secondary BFS QAM.
The plant includes one or more secondary BFS QAMs.
The primary BFS QAM can optionally be configured to feed BFS data to the
plant.
The primary BFS QAM and secondary BFS QAM can be at the same
frequency or different frequencies (split plant).
