Paradyne 1900 User Manual

The BitStorm 1900 utilizes patented EtherLoop

TM

 Intelligent Ethernet 

technology to provide a robust platform that supports lifeline Plain Old 
Telephone Service (POTS) in addition to a variety of new revenue-
generating services ranging from simple high-speed Internet access to 
advanced quality video conferencing, multi-stream Video On Demand 
(VOD), IP multicast video, and toll-quality Voice over IP (VolP).

The BitStorm 1900 functions as an Internet Protocol Digital Subscriber 
Line Access Multiplexer (IP DSLAM) that directs IP data traffic flow 
between StormPort™ CPE modems and a data network. The BitStorm 
1900 is the backbone component of an EtherLoop, Intelligent 
Ethernet™-on-the-Loop, system. Supporting StormPort CPE modems 
in voice/data or data-only applications, the multiplexer is located in the 
communications room or telco.

The basic BitStorm 1900 System includes the BS1900 Shelf (with 
circuit packs), Air Baffle, Filter Shelf (s), and a Fan Tray. Depending 
on the application, multiple components may be installed and/or 
omitted in each rack.

Figure 1-1,“BitStorm 1900 Shelf with Cards and Components,” on 
page 2 shows the BitStorm 1900 shelf with the modem cards and basic 
components installed.
