System Configuration - Northern Telecom DMS-100 Series Maintenance Manual

System configuration

The PLD fits into the DMS-100 peripheral architecture in the same way as
the standard line drawer. The PLD is an integral part of the host LCM or the
PRLCM and provides two PCM30 links, each link carrying a maximum of
30 digital exchange lines to the customer terminating equipment.
A maximum of ten drawers, in any combination of PLDs and standard line
drawers, resides in a host LCM or a PRLCM. A host LCM equipped with
ten PLDs allows the connection of up to 600 (20 by 30) subscriber lines.
The host LCM then connects to the PCM30 line group controller (PLGC)
through DS30A links (a maximum of six links). The PRLCM connects to
the PLGC through PCM30 links.
Each PLGC supports a maximum of ten host LCMs or seven PRLCMs. The
PLGC, in turn, connects to the network module (NM) by a maximum of 16
DS30 links.
