1. GENERAL

This section provides information on the Cellworx Service Transport Node's (STN)
Graphical User interface (GUI) and alarm monitoring capabilities. Information in
this document relates to the Release 3.1 design features of the Cellworx STN
system. Future revisions of this document will cover added features and
enhancements to the system and/or software.
The Cellworx STN system has been designed to accelerate the migration of
networks to support broadband services. It is an Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM)
utilizing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technologies to support access and
delivery of emerging and legacy services. Through the use of simple transport
provisioning, the Cellworx STN enables broadband services on an ATM backbone
to coexist within the TDM infrastructure. A single platform is used to both deploy
new services to thousands of customers, and provide significant bandwidth savings
in existing networks. At the same time, it provides the utility and survivability that
service providers have come to expect from true Telecom-oriented SONET
products.
The Cellworx STN shelf is shown in Figure 1-1. It is available in a 19-inch or a 23-
inch rack mount shelf that has specific card slot assignments for the Ring Interface
Cards (RICs), Network Management Interface Cards (NMICs), and Shelf
Controller cards (SCs). The intent of specific slot locations is to maximize bus
performance and the number of working and protect pairs. The Cellworx STN can
be used as a collocated or remote Expansion node utilizing 622, 155 or T3 CRS
cards as links to a ring node to provide subscriber fan out or remote access
capabilities to a ring. Certain card slots are keyed to prevent the installation of
wrong card types into those slots. The remainder of the slots can accept any Access
Interface Card (AIC) provided the proper Electrical Interface Module (EIM) is
installed at the rear of the shelf for that AIC service type.
