Applications
4.1 Introduction
By virtue of its open design, this system is capable of serving many different roles within a
network. Some of the various functions the system can perform include:
• Cross-Connect Functionality
• Leased Line Provisioning
• Ethernet/router interface
• Sub-Rate Data Transport
• Voice compression.
• PWE3 conversion of TDM into packet
• OC-3 optical interface.
• SCADA data circuit bridging
Sample application examples are detailed in this chapter. These examples are meant neither to
be exhaustive nor definitive, but simply to detail possible applications for this system.
While the system is designed to run multiple simultaneous applications, not all applications
can run at the same time on the same chassis, based on conflicting resource allocations and
slot requirements. If you are unsure about whether you can run certain applications
simultaneously on a single system, consult with your network administrator regarding
network design considerations.
Note: IAD is an example for any type of Integrated Access System used in the field for which
these applications can be implemented.
