OnSite Series Getting Started Guide
1 • Product Overview
Introduction
The OnSite Series is family of ultra-compact, micro multi-service provisioning platforms ( MSPPs). The sup-
ports flexible and economic delivery of time division multiplexing (TDM) and Ethernet-based packet data ser-
vices over synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) transport networks.
The OS-10 system has two STM-1 ports for connection to the SDH network. The ports operate at 155.520
Mbit/s and can be configured to operate as dual unprotected ports or as a protected pair using Linear 1+1 MSP.
The STM-1 ports can also be configured in add-drop multiplexer (ADM) mode for operation in a ring net-
work using SNCP path protection switching.
The OS-10 supports clear-channel mapping of E1/T1 and DS3/E3 signals into SDH payloads, and uses next-
generation SDH features, such as generic framing procedure (GFP), virtual concatenation (VCAT), link capac-
itiy adjustment scheme (LCAS) and advanced packet intelligence functions for efficient transport of Ethernet-
based data services.
The OS-10 has one Ethernet LAN management port and one RS-232 serial port for access to the system man-
agement functions. Remote access to OS-10 systems is possible through the use of an inband management
channel that uses either a dedicated E1 link over a VC-12 or the SDH data communications channel (DCC).
The OS-10 chassis can be mounted into a standard 19-inch EIA/TIA or a 300-mm ETSI rack. The chassis also
supports a wall-mounting option and can also be operated in a stand-alone desktop configuration.
The system uses natural convection cooling (that is, it contains no fans) and supports AC or DC power
options.
All cabling, other than AC power, is accessible from the front panel of the chassis. The system also provides
activity and status LEDs for all client-signal and SDH network interfaces. The system weighs approximately 5
kg (11 lbs) and has the following dimensions: 44.45 x 438.2 x 293 mm (height x weight x depth).
You can manage and access the OS-10 system through a simple Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)
called the OnSight Device Manager (DM) or a scalable network management system (NMS).
OnSite Platforms
The OS-10 Series has two modular platforms: the OS1052 and OS1063. Table 2 provides a summary of the
base system configuration for each platform.
