Alternative Loss Plan overview

553-3001-182 Standard 1.00
The Alternative Loss Plan (ALP) feature uses five different matrices to meet
country-specific Loss and Level Plan requirements. The matrices are:
0 Default (North American)
1 Australia
2 New Zealand
3 Italy
4 China
5 China
The ALP feature enables selection of a switching matrix on a per-customer
basis.
There are two elements per cell. The elements are:
• originator's pad state
• terminator's pad state
With the introduction of IPE trunks, expansion of the DPS matrix to 18 x 18
was necessary to accommodate the new XTRK port types, along with updated
cell information because IPE trunks can switch the transmit and receive pads
independently. There are four elements:
• originator's receive pad state
• originator's transmit pad state
• terminator's receive pad state
• terminator's transmit pad state
For more information on connection matrix details, consult a Nortel
Networks transmission specialist.
