Applications Data Modules and Applications Since an SRU port does not require a complete 64Kbps time slot, the Sub-Rate card allows you to multiplex a number of devices into a single, subdivided time slot on a WAN card. SRU card ports can also be multiplexed with voice traffic on an ADPCM engine. Each RS-232 port can be independently programmed for synchronous (including HDLC) or asynchronous operation.
Model No. Running Head Data Modules and Applications Applications 4.3.5 OCU-DP Cards The 8000-OCUDP (Office Channel Unit - Data Port) is used to interface directly to Data Service Units (DSUs)/Channels Service Units (CSUs) supporting data traffic up to and including 64Kbps. A four-wire circuit can connect the OCU-DP card to a DSU/CSU that can be located up to four miles away.
Applications Data Modules and Applications An OCU-DP port may be programmed for OCU mode or CSU mode. OCU mode is the most common and is used whenever the OCU-DP port attaches to a CSU/DSU over a four-wire circuit. CSU mode allows the card to be connected directly to the digital network. Software initiated diagnostics supported by the OCU-DP card include the setting of six different loop backs.
Model No. Running Head ADPCM Voice Compression Server (8000-ADPCM) Applications In G.703 Co-Directional mode, the Transmit Data and Receive Data leads are supported. The clock information and the data make up a composite signal and the clock must be derived from the data stream.

OC3 card as a drop point to a SONET based product has limitations as far as the manual protection switch is concerned. Until Zhone completes the SONET integration of the product, it is only supported in a true point to point configuration.
Applications PWE IP Uplink Server (8000-PWE) PWE IP Uplink Server (8000-PWE) The 8000-PWE card offers another new uplink card to the IMACS portfolio. The PWE card uses PWE specifications to encapsulate the traditional IMACS TDM data stream and transport the TDM data over a packet network to the far end. The packetized data can arrive at the far end with each node being timed off the same source (common mode clock), or the far end system can recover the clocking by the use of an adaptive clock on the incoming packet stream.

Presently the system can accommodate only one OC3 server card. Due to power demands, a new power supply is under development by Zhone Technologies to allow the shelf to power and support two OC3 cards when the ring feature has been fully developed. Some customer configurations could create issues for running on a simplex power supply, contact Zhone GSS for a copy of the IMACS CPU-7 Power Consumption Calculator, 815-00018-01.

If you do not have the current release notes for 7.5.4 or PWE card load 1.2.1, contact Zhone for assistance. 24.2 PWE Card Description 24.2.1 PWE Card Description The introduction of the 883570 PWE Server card introduces an GigE uplink from the IMACS shelf.
Due to packet jitter in the network, echo is inherent in traffic traversing the packet network, and is not normally experienced in a traditional TDM network. Zhone Technologies is presently working to introduce a companion Echo Canceller card for voice traffic which experiences delay and therefore produces echo.
PWE Card PWE Card Description P WE UP LINK Figure 24-2.PWE Server card 24.2.1.2 Faceplate Descriptions The faceplate on the IMACS PWE Server card has a mutually exclusive SFP and RJ45 Ethernet port connection for a single GigE interface to the IP cloud. It is highly suggested that the port is used at 1 Gigabyte speed, although the system does support 100 MB.
The system can accommodate two PWE server cards, where the second card supports equipment protection in the case of catastrophic card failure. Due to power demands of new card offerings, Zhone has created a new IMACS CPU-7 Power Consumption Calculator, 815-00018-01 which is available upon request.
PWE Card PWE Card User Screens and Settings Note: These settings are done as a one-time only environmental selection. If you are unsure, consult the IT responsible personnel in order to correctly configure the packet stream environment.Once set, a change to these setting will require that the card be deleted and re-added to the system.
