Cisco Prisma IP DS3 TDM Line Card Pkt Trans for Legacy Private Line Services Data Sheet

 

 

 

 
 
 

While packet/IP traffic continues to experience high growth rates, carriers 
must still accommodate a large number of legacy TDM circuits such as DS3 
private lines. The Prisma IP

™

 DS3 M13 TDM I/O card provides carriers with 

a flexible interface to support applications such as T1 grooming and 
aggregation. This standards-based I/O interface supports six channelized 
DS3 ports, multiplexing T1 channels into a DS3.  The Prisma IP system, 
based on Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) protocol (IEEE 802.17), provides 
support for Stratum-level synchronization over an asynchronous packet 
network. By providing circuit emulation over RPR, users can groom and 
aggregate T1 signals from any T1 on any Prisma IP M-, C-, or E-series port.  
The Prisma IP DS3 M13 I/O cards are hot-swappable, without service 
interruption, and support 1+1 line card protection to ensure maximum 
uptime.  The Prisma IP DS3 M13 TDM I/O card is a new I/O card for the 
existing Prisma IP TDM-U line card, which also supports an OC3/STM-1 I/O 
card. 
 
Scientific-Atlanta’s packet-based Prisma IP Multi-Service Platform delivers a 
new level of carrier-class reliability and performance to Metropolitan Area 
Networks (MANs) service providers.  These Multi-Service Access/ Transport 
Platforms provide full support for legacy voice and circuit services, while 
delivering a wide range of new, revenue-producing, differentiated data 
services. 
 

The DS3 M13 cards can be managed via the Prisma IP Element 
Management System (EMS).  EMS incorporates all the Fault, Configuration, 
Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) management capabilities 
demanded by public carriers.  The EMS is a scalable software suite used to 
manage multi-service networks.  It features an intuitive graphical user 
interface that facilitates administrative tasks in a simple and efficient manner.  
Integrated management functions include monitoring, event notification, 
service provisioning and system configuration for all products.
