The SuperNode system also provides an interface to ﬁber transmission systems. Overview of functional elements All Meridian SL-100 systems consist of the same functional elements: the control component, the messaging component, the switching network, the peripheral modules and the input/output controller.
Page 14: Meridian Sl-100 Platforms
Meridian SL-100 has provided superior service in a variety of industries for almost two decades. The Meridian SL-100 supports a wide range of voice, data, video and multimedia applications. The system can be ﬂexibly conﬁgured to address both current and future capacity and applications requirements as a result of its 100,000 digital voice or data line capacity threshold.

• maintenance and administration area The main functional areas of the Meridian SL-100 system are connected by links carrying speech samples and control messages in the form of serial digital data. Each link provides a two-way (four-wire) transmission path for 32 channels of Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) data.
Page 22: Core
22 Meridian SL-100 general functions Core There are two Meridian SL-100 core processors currently in the ﬁeld as follows: • XA-Core see "XA-Core" (page 27). • Series 70 (BRISC) Note: BRISC is still supported on existing systems, but is no longer shipped with new systems.

Page 25: Bus Functions
ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) access Network modules The Network Module (NM) is one of the main functional components of the Meridian SL-100 that connects to the MS bus. Figure 7 "Functional areas of the Meridian SL-100 network module (ENET)" (page 26) is an illustration of the NM using the Enhanced Network (ENET).
Page 26 Enhanced Network, although Nortel recommends the upgrade to ENET for improved performance. ENET is a non-blocking, junctorless, single-stage time switch that is compatible with all Meridian SL-100 PMs. ENET is a replacement for JNET, therefore, the two networks cannot coexist in the same system.
Page 27: Xa-Core
The DMS-bus processes and sends messages to nodes in the SuperNode and SuperNode SE switches. The DMS-bus has two load-sharing Message Switches (MS). The DMS-link allows the Meridian SL-100 core and DMS-bus to communicate in the SuperNode and SuperNode SE switches.
Page 28 From a strategic perspective, XA-Core provides a key element in transitioning to the next-generation Communication Server 2100 in Nortel’s multiservice, packet-switched IP telephony solution. All XA-Core components used in current TDM (circuit-switched) applications can be retained in the Communication Server 2100, which preserves network investments and simpliﬁes transition.

Figure 19 Spectrum Peripheral Module Line peripherals Introduction This section describes Meridian SL-100 on-switch line peripherals which support the following three main functions: • Providing line terminations - Line peripherals provide terminations for external lines and low-capacity PBXs. An external line can be terminated directly on the switch (for example, a copper twisted pair terminated on a line card).

Emergency Stand Alone (ESA) provides the RSC remote peripherals with the intelligence to allow continued service for intraswitched calls, when communication to the Meridian SL-100 host is lost. This includes support of basic station-to-station calls within the remote. Because they require the use of a modem in the host, Attendant Consoles are not supported during ESA operation.

Spectrum Peripheral Module The Spectrum Peripheral Module (SPM) delivers a high-speed Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) interface to the Meridian SL-100 switch. Per Trunk Signaling (PTS) and ISDN User Part (ISUP) signaling are used over the SONET trunks to provide call processing capability. The SPM offers 1+1 redundant OC-3 trunking interface with integrated echo cancellation.
Page 125: Cabinetized International Peripheral Equipment
Note: The SPM is supported by both the SuperNode and SuperNode The SPM directly terminates an OC-3 SONET carrier and feeds the individual trafﬁc from the carrier into the Meridian SL-100 switch. The SPM does not need external cross connects or multiplexers to bring the carrier down to the T1 level, because this is handled internally.

The log system records and prints messages concerning maintenance-related events. As output reports are generated, they are stored in the Meridian SL-100 log system in log buffers. Each subsystem has a log buffer dedicated to it. Logs stored in these buffers can be displayed on the MAP workstation or printed.

These tests can be run immediately or scheduled for daily operation over a speciﬁed range of lines identiﬁed by a Line Equipment Number (LEN).
